Trading Day Prep Work
Dow mini trading results - 07/07/2010
The market opened mostly flat today and spent the first 29-minutes building both of the opening edges before breaking to the upside and never really looking back. I was set to be range minded after yesterday's selling for most of the day and bounce off the lows, but it started proving that it was a trend by taking levels in steady order so I switched to working off the trend tools.
I had three trades and they were all with the 25x trend type setups. The first was the first long above the opening edge. The second trade was the first long off the 9,810 crunchy and 25x channel test. The last trade was the first long off the 25x MC along with a test of the 9,868 crunchy. They all three worked out fairly quickly, which early on was a good indication of the follow-through on the day despite the light opening bar volume.
Please take advantage of the time we have in the room. We can work on whatever you need help with using the live charts in the room and if you need one on one help you just need to let me know. I don't want to see any of you left behind.

Looking towards tomorrow
The Pivot Trend Bias is Up. I will start the day in range mode and let it prove otherwise. If we gap down then I will look to play longs back towards the gap fill area unless we set up a good go with the gap play at the open.
The Advancing-Volume ratio came in at 78% today. There is usually some follow through in that sort of reading. I will still try and start range minded and see how well its taking the levels. The daily is back at its MC from below and nearing its third signal in this direction. We are also testing the bottom of that crazy May bar day after today's rise. We should consolidate some at least one of the next two days unless something happens in the news to help it along.
If you are using Sierra Charts and want the automated alerts you can find them in the Yahoo Group. The ones in the file titles system-alert.zip are the ones I use.
Have a great week! See you in the trading room. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Good luck!
