11:00 Update
5 plays on Sunday and we went 2-3. Our 1 Unit play on Minn lost 3-4 in a tough one. Minn gave up 2 in the bottom of the 9th and then 1 in the bottom of the 10th for the loss. We had two 1/2 unit plays and won with Milwaukee +151 and lost with the Dodgers +126. Our two 1/2 unit NBA plays split winning with San Antonio Under 204.5 easily and losing with Brooklyn +13.5 in a blowout.
So when everything was over we had a -.845 unit day.
Today another full slate of games in MLB along with the NBA. I am pretty busy with the markets right now so will be making this short.
Good Luck Today

We are gaping up almost 1/2% an hour before the open. But remember Friday where the large gain evaporated into the close. Will that happen today? Who knows! But if your trading price action with a bias based on whatever you use to establish bias it should not make much difference.
Saying that I think this week sets up to become a nice gain in the market. Seasonally the last 3 weeks of April tend to be positive. We have options expiration this week which is another positive. The Nasdaq now has to lead the SP500 for two weeks in a row. So we have had confirmation of that signal. Yellen the last time she talked was dovish. Banks in overnight trading show gains. There is more but the bias as I see it is to the upside this week.
I have two swing trade longs I put on Friday and am looking to add more early this week. However stops will be honored as a rally this week is, of course, no certainty! After all, this week is a big FedSpeak week.
