AS I SEE IT: The market traded a little lower overnight. On the regular session open the E-mini S&P traded higher filling the opening gap but stopped at resistance. It sold off 10 points, traded sideways mid-day and rallied into the noon hour eastern-time. Then Fed Governor Poole gave a speech that suggested the Fed might not lower interest rates at the October meeting, and the E-mini sold off 9.75 points before rallying a little into the close.

Our short, intermediate, and long-term trading strategies are long, but the market internals were a little negative today. I’ll be watching the overseas markets on Sunday night and early Monday morning to see what the tone of the market is. This market hasn’t been able to get out of its tracks for the last 7 trading sessions. I believe that resistance needs to be taken out soon or the market could sell-off.

Using our Day-Trading Strategies the E-mini, Grains, and the Oil, all traded very well for us today. Because of the large trading ranges in the Grains and the Oil contract they work very well with our strategies too.

I HOPE YOU HAD A VERY GOOD WEEK!

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!

Have as much fun trading as I do.
