Well, it was a bloody one today.

After the first hour of the trading day, things got choppy. Choppy in the same way they were yesterday morning before the afternoon breakout. Just ugly out there.

Anyway, while it's a summer Friday tomorrow there will be some significant numbers released. Perhaps we'll have some good movement. Also, it's an expiration day.

I read a lot of other bloggers who say they avoid trading these expiration days. I find that odd because sometimes expiration days can be volatile. Volatility is a necessary factor for good trading environment in my book.

Let's keep an open mind for tomorrow. You never know!
