There appears to be a slew of announcements today that should have the traders interest.  I don’t expect much good news on the car report, and the rest probably may bring some of the recent gains via the hope for a recovering economy into question.  Hope I am wrong.    I won’t be though.  The day will be topped off by a speech from Mr. Bernanke.

A very common mistake traders make is to try to get back in the money in one fell swoop. Often times a trader will take a trader of lower probability to accomplish this just to quit looking at the red numbers on his DOM.

I took a well deserved, at least in my opinion, vacation for the last week and have returned fresh and ready to go.  Market is already up on hopes for M &A activity…

Important Economic Announcements Today

[Report][djStar]8:30 AM ET
The news on the housing starts is already out, along with jobless claims.  The housing starts were at a nine month high, but jobless numbers fell 12,000 to 545,000.  That’s still an awful lot of people out of work this week.

ES Emini Contract Trading for Wednesday

By , 16 September, 2009, No Comment

The Decision Bar software kept me long through some early morning pullbacks, and I was happy to oblige. I considered adding to my positions on some pullbacks, but decided against it. Only had one other notable trade for a 12 tick gain. Interesting day to trade.

Notice how the market never really decided to advance, in a decisive manner, past R2

ES Emini Daily Trading for Monday

Ben Bernanke Speaks
10:00 AM ET

Should be a day loaded with all sorts of potential surprises, culminating with Bernanke speaking at 10 a.m.   I would be mindful, early on, of the potential volatility in the market as it digests a wide range of economic data.  Of course, the question on everyone’s mind is a simple one, where are we in this recession?
In the early going, the consumer spending numbers have been pretty positive.
