Quote from trendy:

The Stock Traderâs Almanac notes that the âSanta Claus rally,â which encompasses the last five trading days of the year and the first two in January, has been good for an average gain of 1.5% since 1950, and 1.6% since 1969.

Ho,Ho,Ho.

10:30 reversal

aka short opportunity

K-Rock · Dec 27, 2006

IMHO this trend may reverse if price breaks and hold below 1432.00 (my current reversal point).

volente00;
you seem to post that trade almost everyday....do you have a lot of success with it? what kind of stop parameters do you use (stops above the high)? do you look to fade the nearest pivot point or strickly use time (10:30) as an entry?
