THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS DOWN, I HOLD BOTH LONG (TRAPPED) AND SHORT OVERNIGHT

Hard to call tomorrow, but chances are good that today’s close won’t be the lowest close in the short-term (may or may not be tomorrow though). I’ll present my witness in tonight’s report.

Two TradingMarkets long setups have been triggered today, both claimed to have over 80% winning rate.
