AS I SEE IT: The market traded higher in overnight trading. When the regular trading session opened it sold off to yesterday’s closing gap and then rallied up in a channel the rest of the day, closing near the highs going away.

For the last three days support has held and traders started buying the dips. If anyone had told me that the market could rally with $97.00 dollar Oil and $825.00 an oz Gold, and a financial market that was stressed, I can’t imagine the names that might have escaped me. That’s the reason I’m a technical trader and pay little attention to fundamentals. I believe that’s the reason so many traders have a hard time making money in this business. The best trades many times are those that make little common sense.

Soaring Phoenix Market Trading Strategies were very good in the E-mini S&P, and the Oil contracts today. Grains were OK but not great.

I HOPE YOU HAD A PROFITABLE DAY!

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