Today I decided to touch more on an educational feature rather than provide a certain market outlook.
Many of my clients and blog readers know that when it comes to short term trading I am a fan of adjusting your trading technique/ game plan according to your assessment of the type of trading day that is developing in front of you.
There are so many different aspects to trading. From financial, fundamental, and emotional aspects of when to enter a trade, when to exit a trade and SO MUCH more in between.....
An important part of trading is trade entry. Assuming a trader knows why he/she is about to enter a trade the next step sounds simple right? simply buy or sell the contract you wish to trade....

Crude Oil's climb higher continues, despite dollar strength. The bulls are bolstered by the strong US GPD number this Friday morning. Market is getting overbought but broke resistance at $53.15. Also, chatter this Friday morning that OPEC will extend cuts. Supplies are still high but for the time being global growth is the story. Have a great weekend everybody and even a better trading week ahead.
