AS I SEE IT: The Bear-Flag formation broke down in the E-mini S&P contract today, and it closed down 31.50 points. The Dow sold off 280.28 after rallying up on light volume the last few days. Volume on the Dow was still light today, but the E-mini S&P volume was above average. In the short-term our trading strategies have been turned down for the last 5 weeks, and if it gets a little lower our intermediate-term strategies will also turn down.

Day-traders who followed the Soaring Phoenix Market Trading Strategies had a very good day today. The E-mini S&P, Oil, and the Soybean market all had good trading patterns for our strategies.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT DAY TOO!
