AS I SEE IT: The market started out trading lower overnight, but by early this morning the E-mini S&P was up about 9 points. When the regular session opened it sold off 33.50 points during the first four hours. Support held and the E-mini S&P rallied 31 points from the low before closing down 7.25 points on the day. The Dow traded 274 points from high to low closing down just 33.38 points.

It looks like the market found some short-term support today because of the reversal late in the day. However, overnight news can change everything in a moment so traders need to trade with caution. There is a lot of built in risk in this market.

The Soaring Phoenix Day-Trading Market Strategies worked very well in the E-mini S&P and the Wheat contracts for me today. I didn’t trade the Oil because of the speed of the E-mini S&P contract. If you have trading strategies that make money for you I know that you love these large range days as much as I do.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT DAY TOO!

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