Gold => starting to turn bearish
Euro => bearish
Currently ES is sideways, but has yet to show any signs of weakness. Buyers are in control because the chart shows zero indication of sellers taking control - thus far. That said however, tech is already showing weakness; so, I will monitor XLF and XLE for signs of breaking down, and also as my signal to go short.

In real estate it`s all about location location, location.
In trading, it`s all about discipline, discipline, discipline. And perhaps patience too.

I am committed to taking the steps towards improved patience and discipline for 2010.
I have updated the morning setup portion of my Futures Trading Plan .
For the next 20 sessions, I will post a morning setup/note chart that encompasses the 5points highlighted in the plan. I will use it to provide the pre-requisite context to answer one and only one question: What is the market doing (going up, going down, don't know). Obviously if i don't know what the market is telling me, or if the market tells me that I have interpreted the charts incorrectly, there will be no trades, at least not until i have re-evaluated, and re-analyzed the chart.
