  1. Don't be afraid of inventory...The big boys position themselves ahead of the report....while the retail people get out....I've made quite bit of money during inventory.....

  3. Hey Brian, good point. Generally the volatility right after release can be deadly. I once tried to come up with a system that only trades Inventory days. I should revisit that...

    YM - hello back. Still battling! Hope you are well and having a better year than me.

    1. I had a very experienced trader tell me to watch what happens about 15-30 minutes before the number...most of the time the set up occurs before the number....which is why in hindsight it always looks good...once in a while there's a fake out but since I've been doing it this way, I've only been hit once.....so not a bad ratio....
