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 would not be chasing direction early. Let the New York opening settle out for a bit to make a trade.
CAD/JPY...94.27 is the 200 day mvg avg in this cross, which should hold the first time down. 94.61 was yesterday's low and it could very well hold right here.
This is the lowest risk cross to get short Yen. At least here you have some trade location.
Please refer to yesterday's Midday Missive for scalping instructions.
Short Term View...
We're in a game of picking the next low for an attempt back to the highs in the U.S. Equity Indices. Right now individual stocks look to be an easier read based off their own technical s.
Go with the flow. Use Monday's closes as your pivots to trade the opening ranges and early time frames.
