Whippy action requires some caution, and it's far more important to keep your P/L at bay when signals between contracts are conflicting and action threatens your normal stp-loss distance. ...but enough about excuses... the market just is, and there were several opportunities today to make profits on small bull bounces, if you had the heart and the technicals met your trade models. Wiley and Sons has picked up my book, tentatively to be called 'Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades', for publication in the late Fall. So in order to meet a deadline, I'm going to take a break in the markets til about August 1st. Keep to your trade plans. Keep your focus. Stay disciplined. ..and I'll be back later in the Summer in August....
