[13:48] <TraderG> I think that the market has reached it's top for the day...... unless it is just ready to take off and hit 85 on the SPY.but then again I could be wrong and it could crash to 75.
[13:48] <+jbuch> tool
[13:48] <+TraderG> the oracle of Toronto has spoken
[13:48] <JimL> a hand tool
[13:49] <+TraderG> you'' c I will be right one way or another
[13:50] <+TraderG> My reasoning is that this is a wave 7 of a Donchian Stochastic wave which normally ends in a climactic sell off that immediately reverses

[13:51] <+TraderG> I may have got the directions wrong though.
