The bottom line, the short-term trend is up. I did nothing today therefor hold nothing for the night.
Mixed seasonality for tomorrow. Personally, I’m more willing to bet on the downside though.
For bulls, tomorrow is so called “Bullish Friday”.
For bears, short at today’s close and cover before the next Monday close, chances were 15 out of 17 since August 2009.
Demo account for short-term model, $200 max loss allowed per trade. Mechanical trading signal, for fun only.
