just the market telling us it doesn't know what to do or can't decide. The strong hand Driver is absent today. That's to be expected with many probably thinking as myself------that Oct may not deserve to have a $10 deficit to the index when it takes over as front month. I can sure smell a $5 impulse pop to happen at any time but down momentum still has control and I would like to see it finish what it has started the last 2 days with a quick down draft to 56.00-56.50. This look could be a Smoke & Mirrors bear trap or it could also be a bull trap giving the look that the reversal is about to begin------then it slams down to 54.70 to complete the 2nd $10 move. I don't have a Crystal Ball and I don't trust my guesses-----but I can read the momentum shift------so I'll just keep fishing and be surprised if I manage to catch a Big One.

Today sure didn't have any Big Ones and there is always suckers. I got Lucky with my suckers today and made a couple small deposits------so I'm happy that my choices were correct and timely. I could have easily gave donations------I came very close to doing that with my first catch by attempting to play it too long for my 2nd deposit. The Prime Directive had to slap me to get my attention to cut it loose at breakeven. I had gotten sidetracked and hadn't pulled my stop down to break even after the 1st 60 min close.

I doubt if tomorrow's choices will be any easier but that's when the surprises seem to show up-----right after an undecided day of sideways trade.
