It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.

A tradable low seems to have been put in the Equity Indices.

Spu's... sustaining and closing above 1748-50 is needed for confirmation of a low. 1743 is the current hold level for the Spu.

SSO...91.20 has to hold to remain firm.

BUY a 50% position in the SSO @ the market with a stop below today's low.

Current market is app 91.60. ?The protective stop is 91.15 intra day.
