The Building Permits, Consumer Confidence, and Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index were not enough to shake the ES out of holiday mode.  The ES did make a probe down and the bulls did grind up most of the afternoon, but no order flow opportunities unfolded until (like yesterday) near the close before the ES sold off back to yesterday’s close area.  It was a slow holiday market that lost my interest before lunch time.  No example trade again today.  Maybe tomorrow morning’s economic numbers can provide something to trade before traders take off for the long weekend.
