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
The Equity Indices are treading water after this recent month end rally
awaiting the ECB tomorrow morning.
Managers that want more exposure should look to Germany & Spain later today.
We'll take a look later in the day for Calls in near strikes (48) for expiration June 6 or 13.
JJG looks to be the most attractive instrument to trade. It's had a good sell off with the Corn & Wheat being very oversold.
I'd rather just be long the ETF than play the options since the expiration's are for June 14 followed by July 14.
Opening Range Time Frame Trading again today.
