I am just going with the flow. I learned alot a few months ago, Makloda kept telling me just trade what you see, I should have listened, but thats water under the bridge. I may get back to the futures this fall. I will have stricter risk disciplines in place.
Don't even look at the VIX, once that started trading , it lost all effectiveness. Price price price, volume volume volume, thats worth looking at.
You need to trade 24 hours a day it seems in the index futures. Most of the move has allready happened before the cash market opens. It might dip a bit then rally up a few more points, but it's pretty much sideways action all day long. Just like today.
