AS I SEE IT: The E-mini S&P Futures held on today even though they were down 10 points at the low. The Dow was 140 lower before rallying back near the close. The market is very resilient right now. The longs have the money, and we all know that money rules this game. The Dow took out yesterday’s low, but the S&P had an inside trading day and stayed in the up-channel. I would expect a lot of market movement in the days to come with earnings coming out everyday.

The Soaring Phoenix Day Trading Strategies had a very good day in the E-mini S&P, Grains, and the Oil contracts. The timed trades were the ones that worked the best.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD DAY TOO!

Have as much fun trading as I do.
