THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS NOT CLEAR, I HOLD BOTH LONG (TRAPPED) AND SHORT (TRAPPED) OVERNIGHT

No idea about tomorrow, seasonality seems bullish though as the 3rd last trading of the month was green 17 out of 23 (74%) times (see green arrows) since the August 2009. By the way, according to the chart below, I’m not sure about the setup of shorting at close tomorrow anymore, although the winning rate still is 70%.
