While the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader focuses on investment over a one week to six-month time frame, Mad Day Trader, provided by Jim Parker, will exploit money-making opportunities over a brief ten minute to three day window. 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
I took a position in mainland China yesterday. I'll look at the U.S. ETF after the opening.
The Dollar could be done for a while. We've come far enough in a lot of different currencies to go into a consolidation pattern.
Trade the price action. I have no good ideas
