Should be an interesting day, a few semi-important announcements that have the potential to effect the market.  Of course, you never know what announcement may send the market spinning away.  It didn’t used to be that way….oh, well…

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.

There is not an overabundance of announcements today, but some interesting stuff.  Yesterday’s announcement of the alarming contraction of consumer credit should play into the market today.

ES Emini: Tuesday Sept. 8

Nothing of overriding consequence is scheduled to be announced today, but that doesn’t mean the potential of interesting trading is excluded, as the market wrestles with just where we are in this recession. Several economists announced last week that the recession was over when we had some good numbers on manufacturing. I am a bit skeptical of these predictions, and would prefer to see some successive numbers of increased manufacturing capacity before I would call the recession quits.

Several nice trades early in the day, with the 9:30 move a very nice trade. The rest of the day the market traded in a narrow range and I probably should have stopped, but I was feeling stubborn, eeked out a few gainers and suffered a few losers.

Not a whole lot of information to be released today, but the market has plenty to digest with the flurry of reports this week, some good, some not so good.

I would suspect the employment numbers will be the today’s market moves, as the market yesterday seemed to be nervously awaiting those numbers to be released today as confirmation of the perception of an easing recession.

A nice day of trading though there were some very choppy periods. No big gainers until the end of the day…most of it was 10 point stuff, especially later as the range narrowed. Had a couple of losers on trades that didn’t really develop.
