Nice break but a tough day back

A nice break but we come back on a tough day with $750 trading profit in first hour

We've had a nice short break from trading and missed a bit of excitement yesterday.  Today was the exact opposite and we ended up with some really nice trades on both PRO and LITE versions of Inteligex.  On LITE and on ES alone we had a simple 3 long trades late morning and just after lunch for 4.0 points profit.  We've highlighted them below but the signals are so simple.

Three trades and three winners.  Nice signal trades, and even nice trades if you took a few of the manual trades as well.

Meanwhile on the NQ we had a solitary trade this morning ... but it was a 17pt winner end to end and over in 3 minutes.  But with a single mini thats $340 to add to the $200 on the ES.  On the YM we made only $120 after 7 trades - including 2 losing trades (yes, it happens but losses always part of the trading business).  No big deal there at all.  So the end of day tally on LITE? $660.  Enjoyable.


On PRO you could (and should) have had more - we did $750 in the first 45 minutes today.  It was a tough day but the profits were there, especially if you played the signals and used CRIBs to stay in a trade for as long as possible.  If you did that you have one 17pt winner ... right off the bat!!  BOOM!
