Index Watch for August 11, 2008

I have several objective trading opportunities posted for the coming week. The directional indicator (1 - 3 months) I follow still indicates we are heading higher although there is risk for the bulls in the very short term (1 - 2 days).

In case you haven't yet, I would suggest everyone sign up for the email alerts. It's spam free and you'll get the updates when I make one. Of course, I would only suggest it if you thought the information will benefit your trading.

S&P 500 Watch for August 4, 2008:

I've provided a lot of swing trading opportunities this weekend. I'll post more during the week as they become available. Instead of boring everyone with a lot of commentary, my thoughts with each setup are posted on the charts. In regards to the S&P 500, it's obvious we are pretty much in the middle of S/R. I think we'll move higher if 1234 can hold.

Actionable Setups 8-1-08

Index Watch 7-28-08

I've included enough setups to fill my Medved Quotetracker screen. As I mentioned last week, the majority of my posts will come over the weekend. I will, however, post during the week when I come across something that I consider to be solid.

On another note, take the time to sign up for the Email Updates on the right hand side of the page. I like the format, and it will save you some time.
