All charts for all asset classes in our reports have been shifted to eSignal 11 screenshots effective today. There is a slightly different (but cleaner) look to these charts. They also show as EST.
Not much market volume again. Took an ES short on a Comber sell signal that didn’t work, but we will discuss below. Volume was horrible again.
