Tracking the Dow on Monday,28/04/08.
9:30am--A 25.0 points gap-ups.Not much of economic news.
10:00am--The gaps have been fully covered early and a low being set.At this stage the MAV=(,920+,860)/2...will get 12,890.Open a long position to sell anything above MAV.
11:00am--Take profit. Saw the hangman and shooting stars(10:30am)
12:00noon--Into the 2nd session of trading.Ha,a spinning bottom at the MAV.Should I buy again?How to determine?The morning candlestick pattern overall is a white spinning doji and no real high set as yet,so move in without hesitation.
1:00pm--Another shooting star@12:30pm,clear earlier position wait to gauge again,very highly volatile today.
2:00pm--The day's high was flagged here,so it's time to short-sell the market.
3:00pm--Index still hoovering at a wide distance from MAV which I'm expecting to close position around here.Ha,,news just in Warren Buffett,the new 'chewing gum man' wriggle the market.He frightened the floor traders,quote:"the American recession is going to be a long and winding one"
4:00pm--His mouth is venomous,the market dived at closing bell.Closed position with hefty gains.
