Last week I wrote, I was looking for the market to trade between 8000-8500. I was wrong. The market traded from 8100 to 8700. Last week, the markets rallied off the 150 day moving average(at 8100), and brought us back up to the 200 day moving average(white line @8700). This is where the market ran into resistance last month. Will it be resistance again, and we pullback to 8300? or do we breakout to new highs for the year? I am looking for wild price swings in the next 2 weeks, as the planets and a solar eclipse will rule traders/investors emotions.The ancient Chinese text, Records of the Grand Historian, written more than 2,000 years ago, describes eclipses as indicators of change.
Trading is a visual game. Buy support and sell resistance. In my 17 years as a trader, I've learned where support and resistance using a combination of MPG.

1) Protect your capital 2) see rule #1 3) don't trade what you think, just trade what the charts say 4) use stops on all orders 5) never let a winner turn into a loser 6) never buy R2 7) never short S2 8) 3 losing trades in a row= strike 3.......shut down the computer for the day. Something is wrong in my head!
