  Powder? What powder?  We're dealing with MONEY here! After taking some hits on my forced-overnight trades last week, I've been unable to find any decent long setups for swing trades.  While the whole market has been slowly rolling over from almost reaching the highs from February, I have taken my MONEY and stored it

Speaking to a number of different traders lately, I can tell that this market is beginning to irritate a large number of  you, as the consolidation from the past couple of weeks, means numerous head fakes in both directions, where opening gaps in either direction has little to do with where the market plans on
