Session Start: Thu Sep 04 08:30:18 2003 Session Ident: #FuturesTrades [08:30] * Now talking in #FuturesTrades [08:30] * Topic is 'Active realtime trade posting ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, YM, DIA (private and free)...more info at http://www.thestrategylab.com/FuturesTradesChatRoom.htm' [08:30] * Set by X on Tue Sep 02 10:09:42 [08:30] [NihabaAshi] Password changes, trade post script changes and trader profiles are posted ONLY at free discussion board at http://www.thestrategylab.com/Forums.htm [08:35] Good morning all...we got some good price action already. [08:44] hi Niha [08:46] Hi Kalle. [08:49] * FFT_away is now known as FFT [08:49] G'morning everybody [08:55] On my econ calander this AM, I've got Factory orders and ISM Services due at 10 AM EDT. [08:57] Same here FFT...should produce some good trends. [09:00] Seems like most of the econ news has been good of late. Optimists would take that as a trend, while pessimists would say we're due for some bad news :) [09:00] Where good=better than expected.

[09:20] Normally I would think that bad numbers could be a very nice downtrend today. . [09:20] However, it held up fairly well overnight, and that makes me cautious. [09:23] Especially since the jobless claims came in at 413k, +19k over previous, and the market was expecting it to be -4k from previous. [09:24] And the market ate that news up. [09:24] Summer jobs ending spike [09:27] I think we are due for a pause in the run up lately [09:28] QQQ's down yesterday and the SOX pulled back [09:29] 8,4 REMINDER > 8,2 Factory Orders +++ ISM Services @ 10am EST 8,4 < REMINDER 1,0 [09:31] good morning [09:31] good morning [09:32] 0,2 Covered 1/2 Short NQ at 1362 --> 0  [09:32] ES gonna close the gap?
