AS I SEE IT: The Dow traded in a 161 point range closing up 66.74 points and the S&P traded in a 19 point range trading up 2.25 points on the close. For the week the Dow traded in a 392 point range closing up 137 points. The E-mini S&P had a 59.50 point range closing up 6.50 points for the week.

Even though we have a holiday week coming up there should be plenty of volatility in the markets. Our Short and Intermediate Term Trading Strategies are short, but the Long Term is still long. Because our trading strategies are mostly mechanical I just enjoy good market movement. This was a good week for us here at Soaring Phoenix LLC.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD WEEK TOO!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

There’s no reason you can’t have as much fun trading as I do!
