Entered here http://www.traders-t...howtopic=141006. 21 points profit, good enough for a couple of day's work. We should go even higher towards next week's Fed meeting, but probably some back and filling first.

Excellent!!! Congratulations. VIX options traders have been aggressively accumulating August OTM calls for days anticipating big spikes in volatility. Whether or not they unwind these open interests today will show their faith in central bankers' "communication skills". Good day and good luck.

StillLearnin, my trade was more based on that we are still trending up on daily frame, post June 4, making higher highs and higher lows. That plus the Fed and ECB meeting next week, "hope" springs eternal.

Well that context im sure adds to that system nicely as well. And the combo is probably even better!
