Trading with the Dow Already Up 250 Points

The Dow was up around 250 points when this session began, and because the broad averages seemed reluctant to correct, we looked for opportunities to get aboard a presumptive second leg up. Mostly, this entailed hunkering down on the very lesser charts of the E-Mini S&P. After one false start, we found a promising entry point with just a few ticks of initial risk. The rationalizations here are very finely nuanced and required as much psychologizing as paying attention to the mechanical details of tradable patterns.
