The Game has Changed from Where it Was

September Market Symmetry

In the previous commentary I said the current long term time symmetry date was in the first week of September, and that you could read it in the Trading Service commentary for 8/25/14 with a free 1-week trial to the Service.

The Fed will take Center Stage Today

That was a healthy rally yesterday and it allowed the Daily Battle Plan Model Portfolio to lock in gains in SPY on the close. The market is slightly overbought and the Fed will take center stage today. Obviously the main movement for the day will reflect their decision. For today’s official Daily Battle Plan set-ups […]
