08:51:02 Pete	PRE-OPEN MARKET COMMENTS MONDAY – Friday’s PPI was “hotter” than expected and the PCE and hourly wages came in high a week earlier. The Fed and the ECB have been saying that inflation is persistent and they will continue to...
08:51:08 Pete	Good morning!
09:48:06 Pete	When the liquidity and volume dry up like this the option bid/ask spreads widen. If you trade, I would suggest stock, not options. It will be much easier for you to enter and exit. There is no "paper" (retail traders)...
10:12:46 Pete	FXI alert set 100-day MA. This is a long term swing short I am interested in below that level
11:45:11 Pete	We have a high that is hear resistance at the prior day low. Not much to go off of, but if the market spend enough time at one extreme and it can't follow thru, it will eventually try the other...
13:53:58 Pete	I don't have much to report so I am not posting. We at least have 1OP moving a little higher. If this attempt at a breakout fails we might have a bearish cross that would signal a top for the...
14:08:22 Pete	This is the best trading set up I have seen all day and that is not saying much.
14:08:46 Pete	Bullish hammer off of the hod, lower high double top and a bearish 1OP cross. No volume
14:08:56 Pete	It is on the short side.
14:10:02 Pete	Short ES 3959.50 a 1/4 position
14:28:26 Pete
14:31:08 Pete	Like I mentioned Friday. If I am short, I welcome these green candles. If it gets hammered down, I will know I am on the right side. If it gains traction I will know I need to be watchful at...
14:32:07 Pete	The worst thing you can do when you are in a trade is to panic when you see contra moves. Expect them and embrace them. They will tell you where you stand.
14:55:19 Pete	I will stop out of ES if this candle is not immediately reversed.
15:06:48 Pete	We are getting a little volume on this move and we are close to the hod from Thurs/Fri so that will also provide resistance. I was wrong on this trade so shutting it down
15:09:28 Pete	Exit ES $3975.50. That  was a 20 pt loss on 1/4 position or 5 pts. Between this trade and the drop Fri, my first 11 pts will go towards offsetting these two light volume losses.
15:09:51 Pete	SPY above high from Fri.
15:41:56 Pete	This rally looks pretty convincing, just like the late day drop we saw Fri. The volume increased in both instances, but the net result from both days is negligible.
15:46:28 Pete	Don't read too much into these moves. The D1 chart for SPY tells you we are in a compression. We will chop around until we breakout or breakdown. Everything in between is noise. We can try to trade it using...
