Warming Up as They Cool Down

The U.S. Dollar is moving higher with a purpose this morning, using the UUP ETF as a rough gauge, for example.

Tactical When I Want to Be Strategic

“I have two basic rules about winning in trading as well as in life: 1. If you don't bet, you can't win. 2. If you lose all your chips, you can't bet.” -Larry Hite Into the opening gap down this morning, as much as I wanted to press for an imminent washout, the nature of the current market saw me covering up an AMZN short and trimming a...
