AS I SEE IT: Today traders hit the jackpot. The Dow ran down 100 points, rallied 100 points, and fell 130 points during the trading session. The S&P futures traded down 13.50 points, rallied 15 points, and fell 19.50 points into the close. Day-traders can’t get all the points in a daily range very often, but today they were able to get a good share of them trading the S&P futures.


The S&P, Grains, and the Oil market were my day-trading contracts today. They all had nice trading ranges and very good price formations. Tomorrow the first resistance will be in the 1518.00 area for me in the S&P futures. The S&P market is still trading in the down-channel. Look at the S&P chart below.
