Today is Martin Luther King Day - The futures markets closed at noon and the US Stock markets were closed all day. Since two of my charts can trade longer than noon, I knew I was going to have to intervene to make sure I closed out during the day (Remember - I'm a day trader). When the trade on the Russell chart started, I took a look to see how it was doing and I noticed how low the total trade volume was - there was hardly any volume at all. The trade was up over $900 so I decided to stop the automation and manually close out the trade. This is an unusual event, but a winner is a winner. Looking at it after the fact, the chart eventually would have been a loser for the day, so it seems that I made a good choice - although it could have gone either way on low volume.
Today's Results:
The Early morning S&P chart made a small winner - basically break even
Here is the Russell 2K chart - I manually stopped it shortly after it went long when I saw it was up over 900 bucks - total was $960
No trades on the 30Yr bond chart
