THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS DOWN, I HOLD PARTIAL SHORT POSITION OVERNIGHT
Seasonality is bearish tomorrow as recent Fridays are mostly not very pleasant, besides, according to Stock Trader’s Almanac, July expiration day, Dow down 6 of last 10.

Two more TradingMarkets long setups were triggered today (actually the VIX above MA ENV(10, 5) for 3 days was triggered yesterday, forgot to mention), both claimed to have above 80% winning rate.
