Why is a 500-lot stacked selling imbalance in ES considered a 'moderate' signal while the same 500-lot imbalance in Corn (ZC) is considered a 'massive' signal?
- Corn futures are dominated by retail traders who cannot handle 500 lots.
- Relative volume; 500 lots is near-average for ES but 3-5x the normal single-level volume for Corn.
- Corn is a faster market, so volume matters less than price speed.
- The tick value of Corn is much higher, making every contract more significant.
