“Invest ten percent of your income into personal development to guarantee the prosperity of your future.”

Trade with Me Tomorrow as a New Client

Crude Oil is bullish and trying to re-test yesterday’s high, but one BIG CLUE from today’s high is telling me that I need see a completed “rotation” before I know exactly where to look for buying opportunities tomorrow.

S&P is range-bound with a triangle, telling me to focus on failures using the '2-Try Rule' to fade the breakouts going back to the 2500 round number tomorrow.

Nasdaq is bearish and trying to re-test today’s low, but this evening’s closing price is a big clue that we may be developing into a range tomorrow.

Gold is bearish with a flag pattern, which tells me to look for an overshoot of the high, combined with buyer-failure in the ‘battle zone’ for a move back to the low.

Euro is bullish, but we have two major levels of resistance in our way, telling me to look for buying opportunities down in the ‘battle zone’, or wait for a strong push higher for a re-test of last week’s high.

Friday is just around the corner, which means we have a specific plan for wrapping-up the week, and with the big ranges we’re seeing today, tomorrow is shaping-up to be another great opportunity in our trade room!

Euro appears to be bearish at first, but looking at the bigger picture tells me that this may be an excellent place to look for buying opportunities tomorrow.

"The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude."
