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
I'm looking for a trade in the Bonds. This is not something I'm married to.
Long Gold/Short Copper has topped as seen in the chart.
I'm not looking to trade copper until next week.
In the meantime you could see more profit taking in this spread going into the end of the qtr., which means it will be tough to get rewarded selling Copper at these levels.
It looks to be the wrong way on the spread.
Opening Range Time Frame Trading again today.
?
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.
We are Neutral Equities.
