Dear Trader                                                      Date:  June 6th, 2006

I have started something new which I have been working on for a while now. I call it a day-trading program, which I am applying to the mini SP.

By doing so, I feel that if things work then I will be able to offer my clients a complete menu of time frames from the day-trading below to the SP and BONDS swing updates (based on hourly chart) all the way to the longer term trade ideas I send based on the weekly chart.

While the results below are from a DEMO trading account, they do NOT include commissions in “today’s trades (they do include commissions in the results summary) and by no mean suggest that any account will achieve similar results. Please take your time to read the disclaimer below carefully and if you have ANY questions, let me know.

Again, this is a project that is based on back testing and I have lots of hopes for it but until I don’t see real-time results for a longer period of time, it should be treated as a project.

Today's Trades:

Mini SP
