By , 16 September, 2009, No Comment

Looks like a full slate of interesting announcements in the next two days. I am particularly interested in the employment data tomorrow. Industrial Production and PPI on tap today as we see how well we are steering through the later stages of this recession.

ES Emini: An Enjoyable Day Trading Futures

Today was one of those days that was very enjoyable to trade. The price action stayed above the 89 period SMA so I did not take a short trade all day, and even passed on what appeared to be a pretty good one later in the afternoon.

The usual home sales data follows and might produce some interesting results.
