Please
note that while there are strong trends, one bar or a series of bars
forming a setup can sometimes indicate a contra move for the next day.
This contra move may not be long-lasting — maybe only for a day or
two. Trading with the main trend is always the highest probability
trade. Be
advised that some futures contracts are prone to gaps.
Remember,
use stops on all your trades.
