May 11th, 2017 - S&P 500 e-Mini - Trading Activity - Today's Profit $893
From the second test of yesterdays highs and through the night the market has declined in our favour and is approaching our target for the current open trade in the Real Money Account.
Depending what happens between now and the open we may consider moving that target lower.
We have not yet taken any pre-market trades in the simulation account.
The market kept pushing lower and at about 6:45 ran down and hit the target.
Was in the process of moving the target, but was to slow.
Net for the trade will be about $60.
The market continued to push lower through the target.
This is unusual overnight activity.
We will now wait until the open for our next trade.

This rally back is approaching the 38% Fibonacci retracement number and looks like it may be running out of steam. Based on the time of day and the mornings activity, we could start going sideways from here as well. So, I am going to call it a day as I have some other business I need to take care of.
