I could have traded it better; I did ok and I feel I'm positioned ok for monday, but I was not quick enough to change context. Not enough money around to support all of the indices; A mid-stream change in focus of support (which index to prop) seemed to occur.. I need to do some more digging here seems like it is exploitable. The old game of looking at historic distributions of a particular parameter to see if the current parameter is ordinary (or is very ordinary and perhaps too ordinary) might be telling here. I like to read good trading books, blogs and good market sites... Every once in a while I'll come across a generous author spelling out what he observed about the market for a particular period. Occasionally I feel I have a good grip on the market for the discussed period (I spend a lot of time playing with historic data) or that particular parameter, and think if only the published analysis include this not that; or perhaps a difference of two parameters instead of the parameters themselves the pattern the author seeks (or knows) would be telling. I'm rambling, so I'll stop. In the end I come to the conclusion the author understands completely, leaving the details for the reader to workout as to not suck all the fun out. Of course at times (most in fact) I need to be lead by the nose to find the carrot and I appreciate those types of books/blogs/sites also. Have a very good weekend all. …….~xii,~viii,~xii,~viii,~xii…… ~xii,~viii,~viii,~viii,~viii,~xii

You would hope so, but some will get it wrong:
