How is this Possible

Market biases on intraday basis, especially in the stock market indices, have been there ever since the beginning of index future trading. Mr. Chan has demonstrated this over and over again in his writings and real-time commentaries. Knowing the existence of such biases is one thing, being able to translate that into functional trading strategies takes a higher level of expertise in trading.

Fun Fact: Even though many hedge funds and quant funds have the resources and brilliant minds in data-mining, their narrow focus on specific risk reward requirement that appeal to their investors make them never looking into many classes of market biases that are readily available for us to take advantage of. In fact, their narrow focus helps re-enforce the type of biases exploited by Big-Game Hunter ES.
