The Market, the perfect deceptor, 1st day of month

Near perfect!  Deception.

Market gapped up, meaning a near 100% chance of an up day, and then proceeded to tank. 

Anyhow, seeing that the recent stats on "1st day of month" were being given the bird.   

Played a short and closed it out about the PRS channel line, not some short term floosy one week stand channel line, but the main PRS up channel from the September lows.

1st day of month

I usually try to "second guess" these "obvious things".    Not good.

To win in this market you need to be super smart or accept acting kind of dumb.    The kind of smart and actually smart crowd is the Mark.

So try dumb for a day.   First day of month, only thing better than the predictable end of day ramp.   Don't complain, make money.   Got it?

FF backtest tomorrow?


Prove a point, per my previous post. The Great Ponzi, the biggest of all time in history of humanity is being pulled off on a grand scale, and CFTC is showing how they can attack the small fry, kick a conviction or a plea, put a notch on their resume, promote themselves in government service. What a joke.
