AS I SEE IT: The end of the quarter window dressing was in full force today as the market closed very strong. These light volume days before holidays can produce large range days in the market that are very nice to trade. Interest rates were lower again today, but the Oil market closed above $71.00 dollars so there are some mixed trading signals. Breaking the 1525.00 area and today’s low will turn the S&P back down for me.

The S&P, Oil, and the Grains were good day-trading contracts for me today. The grains give me the most bang for the buck in the futures markets.

Have as much fun trading as I do.
