Futures Pointing to a Lower Open...
3:15 pm ET - Thanks to the amazing capabilities of modern technology...I'm sitting in an airplane waiting to take off to Atlanta, while I am posting this...with 45 minutes to go the ES, SPX, SPY and NQ are all moving up in a big way today...a good distance now from the lower open that started this day...this is why I teach overnight and pre-market futures only tell you what the open will be, not what the day will be...today is another great example of futures and the market is up...we placed two virtual trades in our AT Webcast last night for entry if the stocks moved up in the morning...both GME and BBBY were filled and have moved up nicely today...I will give you the exact numbers tonight when I arrive in Atlanta...well if you paid attention to our guidance this morning you should have been prepared to take advantage...also intermediate term traders are likely seeing your positions rebound nicely today....Remember, it is the trend that makes us money...I will stay focused...Will You?
If you haven't reviewed the charts below take a close look at them and the bullish patterns they were forming early in the day....
1:30 pm ET - The market has rallied all morning...ES, SPX, SPY and NQ are all higher...so are most stocks...check out the candle formations now...

STOP THINKIN' WES!
All day today I have litterally been chanting: Trade the market... not your thoughts. TRADE THE MARKET... not your thoughts. Trade the market... NOT your thoughts!
TRADE THE MARKET... NOT YOUR THOUGHTS!
Thanks, Dave!
Thanks for the post Dave. Phil & Judy are leaving for Atlanta shortly. My long positions took a dive on Monday, but looking at my charts helped me keep the trend in perspective and I had no trouble sleeping, although I wimped out of your trading room after midnight...
Dave,
I wish I'd been able to hang in last night for the entire capstone, but like "Anonymous" (Phil?) wrote earlier, I couldn't hang past midnight... the computer I use for the webcasts rebooted itself at the stroke of 12AM... maybe it was trying to tell me something?
Oh yeah... STOP THINKIN' WES!
Happy (and safe) travels...
PS - Remember, it is the trend that makes us money...I WILL stay focused... I don't even have to ask if you will!
