Hello Traders,

If you are trading metals (gold, silver), financials (ten years, bonds etc.) or grains (wheat, corn, beans etc.), please keep in mind that the December contract is going into DELIVERY and you must be out of December and start trading the March contract (for most markets)

Please contact me with any questions.

This DOES NOT apply to stock indices ( mini SP 500, mini Russell etc.) or currencies which still have a couple of weeks and I will send a separate update.

Hello Traders,

I wrote on yesterday’s blog:

below is a daily chart of the mini SP. So far it looks to me like we are still in a range. I would look to buy on short term basis around 1385 and be a seller around 1405.

I wish I could be right like that every day…..

(-:

What’s next?

Here is an updated daily chart of the mini Russell 2000, which seems to be leading the indices group as of lately. The TF closed right against immediate resistance with the next band of resistance coming at 825-829 levels
