AS I SEE IT: The E-mini S&P traded down overnight opening the regular market session about 17 points lower. It rallied for the first half hour and then traded down to support before rallying again. It closed the day about 5 points above the regular session opening price.

Our Short-term strategies are short, intermediate and long-term strategies are long. For the last two days the market has rallied from the lows of the day trying to get back in the short-term buy zone.

The Soaring Phoenix Market Trading Strategies worked very well in the E-mini S&P, Oil and the Wheat contracts.

Have as much fun trading as I do.
