It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.

Stocks...
Spu's...need over 1954 to rally anywhere. 1931 is the weekly ORL# on a daily chart, not a continuation. Nevertheless, that is what is needed for weakness.
LNG...the end of month marking started yesterday.
GPRO... this was a classic opening range trade. Buy it @ 29 with a .50 cent closing stop if it ever gets back there.

Bonds...
30 Yr. Bonds...136.12-14 was resistance and is now support.
I'm looking for 138.04 to be tested for a possible right shoulder on a weekly chart.

FX...
EUR/JPY...137.50-60 is weekly support.

Follow the Bonds. As the Bonds rally they will keep the Yen & Metals firm.

Just you and the Bots.
