Russell 2-8-07


The premarket on the Dow showed the early direction of the morning by gapping down from yesterday's close. After a large bullish move yesterday, the Russell focused on consolidation this morning ranging between the 818.00 and 814.00 value areas of yesterday.

The first trade of the morning was at 6:35 this morning short reversal signal at 817.20 for +1.8. The second trade of the morning was at 7:01 long reversal signal at 816.00 for -.07. I've really been focusing on my entry and exit mechanics and the first trade of the morning really exemplifies this. I was a little late on the entry of the second trade but I feel I exited the trade well.

Net for the morning +1.1

Jesse,

The first trade entry was based on the first bounce off of resistance (from yesterday's close), RSX returned from being overbought. That was the setup.

The gap was not a factor in my decision, although I did note it. As an aside, I've noticed that gaps of more than 2 points don't tend to reverse immediately, usually they go to test new lows first.
