THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS UP, UNCONFIRMED, I HOLD TRAPPED SHORT POSITION OVERNIGHT

Used to be bearish for the last 2 trading days of the month, but the trick failed 3 times in a row recently, so not sure if it still works this time or not anymore.

1

Those who followed the TradingMarkets long setups, just a reminder, the major exit condition is met today. And congratulations for those who were brave enough to follow. Yet again another score!

2

Those who plan to follow Cobra Impulse System, the short setup is still valid, as long as SPY could break down below today’s low and close in red tomorrow.
