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 or Valuable Insight
The Equity indices will be a headline Bot driven rip. I'm friendly to the Indices, however it will be easier to trade individual names than it will the Indices.
Spu's need closes over 2065 to start another leg up. Buying strength for the next 20 points will be problematic given the posturing with Greece.
