AS I SEE IT: The market traded down near support when the regular trading session opened and then rallied up through short term resistance. It failed to hold the resistance price and traded down some into the close. The Dow closed up 85.73 points and the E-mini S&P closed up 7.50 points.

Today the E-mini S&P took out the low price and the high price of the last 5 trading days and closed about in the middle of that range. There hasn’t been any follow through to the up or downside.

Our short term trading strategies are long and the intermediate and long term trading strategies are short. My June E-mini S&P resistance number is in the 1400.00 area and support is in the 1368.00 area.


I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!

Have as much fun trading as I do!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

I seldom drop responses, but i did a few searching and
wound up here "Futures Trading". And I actually do have a couple
of questions for you if you don't mind. Could it be just me or does it look like some of these responses look as if they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online social sites, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you list of all of all your shared sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad
and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with
someone!
