Market Commentary, Fri Jan 22 2010What an amazing week in the live trade room! Another week filled with winners &PROFITS!We had a few moments this week that were tough..We had to get passed the Martin Luther King Holiday on MondayOn Tuesday we started the day with a LOSS, and had to overcome our emotions toavoid getting any deeper in the hole…we certainly did…and ended Tuesday with$500!Wednesday and Thursday were HUGE! Lots of price movement, green pace of tapeindicator, and both our guests and members ALL made extraordinary gains in theirtrade accounts! Today, Friday, we had to be careful…Friday’s are always a mixed bag of expectations. Here’s why…
○
We want to finish up our week on a strong note
○
We don’t want to give back any hard-earned profits
○
We have to be aware the day will end early, as people leave early forthe weekend
○
We need to follow our rules explicitly to make sure we don’t make anycareless mistakes. Today was even more potentially dangerous b/c it was a Friday without any majornews events, so we didn’t have the ‘catalyst’ we look for to get prices moving!So with a Friday w/out any major news, we had to stay patient.We started off trading Gold (GC) Futures:
