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.

General Comments orValuable Insight
Full Moon Trading....Always presents the possibility of trend change.
Spu/Bonds put in an ORL day. We have no positions. It was time to hit the cash register and bail out.
All other levels in individual instruments are as stated from past writings.
Let the day unfold, trade your time frames and technical levels.
"If you put a gun to my head" I'd prefer to sell equities before I bought them for the next day or so.
The Long only crowd painted the tape on the close in the Indices by keeping the chart pattern alive for more rally, however the SPU/BONDS did put in a topping pattern.
We're content to do nothing and watch the price action for a bit. This is a market in need of a pull back or some sideways price action.
Some of you sent me messages that you went short against yesterday's high.
Nice trade!
Now remain disciplined and don't turn it into a loser. Price action over 1793-4 in the Spu's should have you reviewing your charts.
Short Term View...
Keep trading to make money. The opportunity will be in individual names.
Individual stocks look to be an easier read based off their own technical s. The Equity Indices seem stretched at these levels.
Go with the flow. Use the 9/30/13 ( September 30th) closes as your macro pivots. Trade the opening ranges and early time frames.
