Trading Strategy
• Overall long bias on the day and the report
• PM action is pointing towards a smaller gap and enough momentum to fill after the opening
• Look for a hold long at 156 or 155.75 would be better if this does flush there at the opening
• 157 is a good scalp long and may be workable for a couple of points
• Let it set the opening range and play the side of the break
• VWAP tests and SMA momentum plays of keys level intraday
Reading the Tape
At one point it is not luck. I wish I could say what I see when I see it. But, I am seeing the momentum and the stalls, large orders and depth. I am using ToS to try to get in on my side of the spread and it works a good portion of the time. While other times, I can see how my market order throws things out of sync for a few seconds.
Trade Management

Review Notes
• My overall Bias was wrong on this I did expect this to push higher earlier and break down
• I was able to stay on the side of the momentum most of the day.
• I still see many area when I can let some of these trades run a bit longer.
• I did take a couple of drop outs. So, I was off on the risk management today
• I was on tilt at least once today.
• I did manage to get some sizing up in today.
