  1. When ever I see moving averages bunched together like this it tells me to step aside and let the scalpers have at it, thats a 50,100,200 day simple moving average. NQ looks a little better as far as US equity indexes are concerned. It is tough right now no matter were you look. Corn looks pretty beaten down, the dollar has stabilized. I am just trying to keep my costs low and ride it out.

    I am focusing on high probability setups and accept only the cleanest pattens right now. That is requiring alot of just sitting and waiting.

    The only thing moving in the stock indexes are the Hang Seng and the Nikkei. Any IB user can get free quotes. The Nikkei has been fantastic trading. You can move size and the overnight margin is just 1400 bucks. Good deal. Just some thoughts for you bored stock index traders. Alot of bang for your buck and a bull move to trade.

    Take out 2 days around June 25 or 26 and two days around July 7 or 8 and the congested trading range extends back to mid march.

  10. Tell me about it BigBob, I am soooooo glad I don't have alot of overhead, and thank the lord my wife has a good job in the Oil & Gas industry.

    I am trying to stay positive, and keep telling myself it can only get better. But as far as the Dow is concerned it can stay range bound for years.
