Going into Globex on Thursday we had 4830 as a long setup. Which gave good opportunity in RTH giving us few points couple times. We stayed out of the market yesterday on sideline most of the afternoon. Lets watch for PMI at 945 am to see if it breaks market out of 10 point range on last trading day of the year

Econ for week:

Night session Trading Suggestions:

I suggest to not trade night session from 10 pm to 2 am chop. If action has to happen than it will happen before 10 pm or after 2 am EST. You can generally play short on top level provided for nightly range and long on lower level of nightly range after 2 am or 3 am. But get out of the way if it rips or drops thru levels and wait for new opportunity or flip. And of course never add to loser and better yet cut it and reset.

Remember: I never short above or long below my marker. I wait for it to pause before it or come back to it from rip/dip and pause before executing.

Never take position before Econ like CPI Or FOMC. After econ watch for levels where it stops and how it interacts to decide long or short.

Recommended stop: -2 and go to BE on +2. Some ppl who can't reenter shall chose -3.5/4.

Scale out: 2 lots at +6/8, 3rd at +10/16, 4th leave runner at BE
