  4. 550 was the key resistance for the last 3 days. After it broke through that level yesterday, it acted as a small support. And I believe the market most likely won't go through 550 since it is Sept. 30th. You would need a major move in the energies for us to make lower lows today.

    Don't adhere to a strict risk reward because I don't have STOPS.. I just put it out there as my stop on my earlier post just for the hell of it. With no risk predefined, I don't have a reward either.

    I'm done for the day; went long on the euro it reversed hard; then went short on the QM and it reversed. My isp is giving me 2k pings. I better just quit for the day

    good luck everyone
