Hello T-REX,

What "bug" did your computer have. I am currently unable to access www.msn.com and www.hotmail.com. Everything else is working fine.

Thanks,
fan27

To be quite honest I don't know but I ran my spyware and that seemed to do the trick.

Quote from TGregg:

You and me both, fan27. I'm running a full scan now.

EDIT: And I know hotmail is up, btw.

I was able to access msn and hotmail thru the links on Microsoft's home page. I did a scan and nothing turned up.

I dunno what happened, but I did a full scan with no results, ran SpyBot and kicked out a few fairly innoculous things, and it all works now.

Current Overnight Resistance = 1026.25
Support = 1020.25

If it were 9:30am EST you would look for the break down or breakout and trade with the money flow.

Original Entry Points
Buy @ 1025.50 Stop-Limit /Stop-Loss @ 1020.50
Sell @ 1018.50 Stop-Limit / Stop-Loss @ 1023.50

Today's SVM (System Variation Method)

How to fade the GAP-MOVE?

If the market opens above 1025.50 (SELL @ 1025.50)
If the market opens below 1018.50 (BUY @ 1018.50)

Hello T-Rex,
I am don't understand where the 1025.50 and 1018.50 numbers came from. Had you taken the morning long trade wouldn't it have been from1026.25 based on Globex high? Please clarify. Thanks.

Thanks for the great question.

Today was a SVM (System Variation Method) day
which means that instead of trading on the overnight high & low you would have varied from that being that yesturdays bar was quite significant.
Because of I.T. problems this morning I missed the initial Buy signal @ 1025.50.

Today's Volatility Break-Out Working Orders

Sell @ 1004.75 STOP-LIMIT
Buy @ 1015.00 STOP-LIMIT

Which ever order gets filled first the other working order becomes the trailing stop-loss.

Initial profit target is 3.00 pts

ORDERS ARE BEING PLACED RIGHT NOW!

According to my records, for 9/2 the overnight points were:

High: 1013.25
Low: 1010.25

It appears you used the 9/1 overnight low instead of the 9/2 overnight low as a result of the Labor day holiday on Monday. I'm sure you weren't the only one who made this mistake.

If my understanding of your method (not sure what # you add to the OH, subtract from the OL to get your stop) you would at least have broken even after the first short entry when it hit a 3 point profit.

Tommorow should experience a nice pullback and stay midrange Tuesday's bar on the close. Look for the bounce in the afternoon to rally on the close. Should touch the major 1052 -1080 resistance soon. Look to sell these number.
Also, indicators are now overbought and will look to the 1st trade tommorow to probably be Short and then get Long in the afternoon or HOLD position to pick up more downside handles

I will explain more later this afternoon time permitting.

That's a great observation!
I hadnt thought of that. but it would seem that you make a fantastic point. However, I will admit that that trade was arbitrary based on price movement subsequent to entry point.

NOTE: These are not "Entry Points" I am simply marking the overnight action.

Resistance High = 1027.00
Support Low = 1023.75

Tommorow should experience a nice pullback and stay midrange Tuesday's bar on the close. Look for the bounce in the afternoon to rally on the close. Should touch the major 1052 -1080 resistance soon. Look to sell these number.

Today's Entry Points will be given today @ the open.
