AS I SEE IT: The market was higher in overnight trading. On the open the E-mini S&P pulled back to support during the first two hours, then chopped higher into the close. The Dow didn’t do much all day until the last couple hours when it had a mild rally. Volume was very light today, but the internals of the market were slightly bullish. During the last two days of the month and the first day or two of the new month Window Dressing usually rules holding the market up.

I do believe we could see some very good market movement in the near future. The market needs to rally on up taking out resistance, or it could sell-off quickly.

Day-Trading was just OK for me today in the E-mini S&P. Low volume and small trading ranges don’t work the best for me. If it hadn’t been for the rally on the close I would have lost money in this contract today. Our timed trades in the Grains and the Oil worked well.

Have as much fun trading as I do.
