Hey friend,
The only big economic release this morning was factory orders – which showed a sharp decline, but much less than expected.
Related to that, tomorrow we’ll get the latest trade deficit numbers as well as a gauge of manufacturing and service activity.
The Daily Direction

Note: All indexes closed sharply lower Friday – sending all short-term index directions downward. But they opened higher this morning, which helped restore the short-term directions of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq higher.
The Daily Nugget
Choppy markets reveal discipline.
When the market is calm and steadily inching upward, it’s easy to make money…
And it’s much more difficult to stand out.
But it’s when markets are choppy…
When prices are pulling back…
When uncertainty pervades…
That’s when the skilled and disciplined traders truly stand out.
Calm, steady, and rising markets are great – and we all wish for more of them.
But choppy markets are what reveal discipline.
As Warren Buffett says, it’s only when the tide goes out that we see who’s been swimming naked.
As Head Trader Ross Givens shared this morning, we’re likely in for a choppy August.
This is the time to be more disciplined…
To follow your edge…
To stick to your strategy.
That’s how you stand out and still do good in a choppy month.
And if you’re wondering what strategy to follow right now…
Then make sure you show up for Ross’ live session tomorrow, Tuesday morning, at 11 a.m. Eastern…
Because he’ll be demonstrating a way to use the “smart money” to your advantage…
Using a strategy that could have delivered gains like 77% in 21 days, 51% in 15 days, and 87% in 24 hours.
The “smart money” will be taking advantage of this choppy action…
And that’s something you can capitalize on.
So click here to register for Ross’ live strategy session…
And he’ll see you tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. ET sharp.
