04/25/2011 Trading Signals

THE BOTTOM LINE, THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS UP, I HOLD LONG POSITION OVERNIGHT.

I see both bullish and bearish arguments, so guess we’ll have to wait for tomorrow. Overall, I don’t think the market would move big prior to FOMC which is due on Wednesday.

The VIX BB short setup I talked the other day was triggered today. Although the setup disregards the current trend, but personally, I don’t like to trade against the trend which is up now.

P.S. I’ve changed the format, starting from today, the report after bell will focus on trading signals while the report at night will simply blah blah with no trading signals involved.
