Day-Trading Scenarios for Apr 17, 2026

We should close the room before the market opens when the first trade is a 265 point winner.


Remember, on the open the specialist has to sell to maintain an orderly market. Within a half hour they can start buying again.


We will look to buy again after a SMF pullback.


Have a great weekend people.
