Market Commentary<\/h3>\n<p>Hello traders,<\/p>\n<p>Thin volume in many markets today with SP500 pretty much closing unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow should bring a different trading environment as we have a more than a few reports scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some notes about the main types of trading days as I see it:<\/p>\n<p>My opinion is that there are 3 main types of trading days.<\/p>\n<p>1. Most common is two sided trading action with swings up and down &#8211; this type of trading day is most suitable using support and resistance levels along with overbought\/oversold indicators such as RSI and &amp;R.<br \/>\n2. Strong trending day, mostly one directional &#8211; this type of trading day is the least common, many times will happen on Mondays and maybe 3-5 times a month at most &#8211; this type of trading day is most suitable for using pull backs from the main trend to re-enter with the direction of the trend.<br \/>\nDMI and ADX are good studies to use for this type of trading days.<br \/>\n3. Slow and\/ or choppy trading day &#8211; this type of trading day is best suited for taking small profits from the market by looking at FIB retracement levels and order flow.<\/p>\n<p>Good question is how can one asses what type of trading day we will have while the market is still trading&#8230;.I am doing some work about it and will be happy to hear feedback via email but here are some initial observations:<br \/>\nWas the overnight session a wide, two sided trading range? If the answer is yes, good chances for similar trading day during the primary session ( primary session is when the cash\/ stock market is open)<br \/>\nMondays have the highest chance for trending days<br \/>\nThe behavior of the first hour of trading can also suggests the type of action for the rest of the day.<br \/>\nIf the first 30 minutes have good volume, better chances for type 1 or type 2 trading days.<br \/>\nlow volume during first 30 minutes can suggest a choppy (type 3 trading day)<\/p>\n<h3><strong><a name=\"two\"><\/a>2.
