Futures and Commodity Trading Blog, September 20th 2010

Market finally broke to the upside but like always “tries to make it harder” for us traders…. The upside breakout lacked momentum and / or continuation, at least today. However, I have shifted my swing trading stance to cautiously bullish as long as SP500 can hold above 1105.75….

FOMC next Tuesday along with busy Thursday / Friday economic and speaking schedule.

Have a great weekend, take time to recharge the brain and “clean it” from all the ” I should have placed a stop at this price and i should have taken that trade” etc….Once a trader has a concept they feel good about, the rest of the battle is mostly mental one with yourself.

GOOD TRADING!
