Quick Review
I've looked back over my trades, and I'm happy enough for the 1st day of intra day trading.
one point, the last three trades were taken a bit early, i may for done this in a rush coming up to market close.
also TS2ki is not stable enough on my PC to trade intra day for $$$$$$
it's hard to call a market technical or new driven before open (need experience to do this)

$INDU 1-5-10 as Grey1 recommends. Anything higher is unlikely to be much use intraday becuase they are much slower to turn.
Overall have $INDU 1-min up to Monthly, but obviously not watching all those all the time. The longer timeframes can be helpful at OB/OS extremes though, e.g. Daily for swing portfolio as you know.

Technical or non technical
Following on from what Glenn said (the other Glenn) yesterday
will it be tech or not today, if you can not make this call correctly are you toast?
my take for today is as follows;
CNBC = no big news, still taking about BS news from yesterday
INDU = up about 400points last two day may consolidate today, INDU day macci heading o/b
Futures = up a bit pre market
FTSE etc = very strong
tech or non tech day who knows???????????//
I think it would be brave to go short early with strenght in FTSE, Longs only me thinks

Consumer confidence figures at 10:00 US EST. These sometimes stir things up a bit.
On the topic of highly trending days, I have read somewhere that these days are freqently characterised by unusually high volume on the ES in the first half hour or so after the open. I can't remember the statistics and I hesitate to post this at all and complicate matters. Analysis paralysis can be a nasty affliction, as I well know.

There may be better ones available, but this seems to catch most significant releases.

thanks dc,
i think it would be good to have an earnings calendar as well, i think there's one on CNBC's site, i'll have a look
cheers

Yahoo finance has one as well:
US Earnings: Company Earnings Calendar - Yahoo! Finance
I like Yahoo finance because it has nice simple HTML pages and they are fairly easy to "screen scrape" with custom software.

If you don't 'know' then don't trade until you do.
Having no position is still a position.
