Had an unplanned appointment to go to today. I call it unplanned because I didn't know about it until 30 minutes before I was supposed to be there. LOL! Missed the great trend today. Ended up -50 for the day. Could have been much better.

Maybe Friday the 13th will be a great day.

Time to get started.

Nice smooth run up through the night. Looking for entries.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday the 13th.....

Took a short.

Finally moving the right direction. Had me worried for a few. Needs to get below 7405.50 to make me feel comfortable. If it can't I will exit with a small loss.

Probably regret it but closed it at +20 profit. Price just could get down through 7405.50 and stay there. Will wait for next opportunity.

Sometimes you wonder if the market isn't just waiting for you to exit your short before dropping price. LOL! Oh well lots of trading left for the day.

Wow! No real good place to jump in on this downtrend. Except...... back.... where I first entered!! LOL!

We are at a point where it could get a bit choppy for a while. Both long and short term trends indicate up but the intermediate is pointing down. We may get a few smaller cycles until it breaks loose.

Yup. Stuck in a range. It may take the 930 am eastern open to push it anywhere. There may be some scalp opportunities but you have to be careful since eventually it will break out and make a move.
