Close But No Cigar
7/31/2025
This happens sometimes and there’s a couple ways to think about it. And a couple ways to deal with it.
So today the system gave a Short Alert that hit Target 1 and then price came within 3 lousy ticks of Target 2.
It happens.
Target 1 was 7.75 points away from the Entry and Target 2 was 26.00 points away from the Entry. That’s a pretty significant distance and honestly the Trailing Stop seems like it should have been a little tighter to protect those gains. But the system is designed to be “universal” and work in all sorts of different environments and sometimes the Trailing Stop isn’t always perfect for the specific price action that unfolds.
We could change the logic to say “if price gets most of the way to Target 2 then move the Trailing stop to Target 1” but I’ve seen situations where that would have resulted in the Trailing stop getting hit because it was too tight and then price went on to hit Target 2. Everything depends on the ATR’s and distance to the Targets – and the “speed of the approach” to the Targets.
However I will say that in a situation like today, it wouldn’t be inconceivable to use a wee bit of discretion and perhaps use a little tighter stop than the system. A good rule of thumb that I’ve mentioned in the past is that if you have more than a 20 point gain, you might choose to protect a good portion of that with a tighter stop. Even setting the stop at Target 1 would have been better than letting it go all the way back up to the Entry on that second Contract.
But everything I just said is based on the fact that there was a clear pivot low candle right where T2 was barely missed. So somewhere between 6410 and 6420 would have been a reasonable place for a tighter stop. Or you could have even said “close enough” and just taken 20+ points of profit somewhere down around T2.
But that would have required using discretion and I know everyone hates to have to make decisions. Regardless, the system had the right idea. The Trailing Stop is designed to “avoid getting stopped out” by reasonable counter-trend moves and while the number of points were significant in this case, the chart pattern was fairly typical. We’ve seen plenty of times where price almost makes it to T2 and then there’s a counter-trend move that’s short-lived and price reverses and hits T2.
But in this case the counter-trend move was a significant bounce which resulted in the “tightened” Trailing stop getting hit at the exact Alert price level. “Breakeven”
It would have been nice to get a second Short Alert when price rolled back over and broke below the Short Barrier. But as you should know… in order to get a new Alert in the same direction as one that just hit the stop, the price would have had to trade back up into the Range (more than half-way) and then break out again. It’s programmed that way so that we don’t get right back into a trade that just hit the Trailing Stop in the same direction. Most of the time that makes perfect sense.
I’ve seen plenty of times where the Alert Levels / Trade Price Barriers could be “played” even if the system isn’t giving an Alert at the time. But that’s for another conversation and involves more “discretion”. I’m hesitant to use that word too much and go into all the clever ways we might employ some discretion trading the system. But honestly it’s extremely flexible and can be traded in any number of ways. I’ve even talked about “just shooting for Target 1”.
Maybe I should explore that topic more in the future. But there are really just two basic forms of discretion that you might consider using – that’s the number of Contracts traded – and using a different (tighter) stop than the system at certain times. There are tons of other little discretionary tactics we can use but I’ll save that for another time.
Today was the last trading day of July.
Before I forget, NQ / MNQ did manage to catch the entire big sell-off today. The Short Alert filled early, both Targets got hit and the Trailing Stop was never hit into the close. I took a screenshot of the software about an hour before the close.
Notice the “Traction” was +333.75 points at the time. Wow!
You probably know I favor trading MES with the system and I should discuss why here at some point, but it was interesting to see the difference in price action today. NQ didn’t get nearly as significant of a counter-trend move so the tightened Trailing Stop didn’t get hit.
I’ll see you in August!
As Good As It Gets…or As Good As Can Be Expected
7/25/2025
What I meant by that title is that it was a great week, but only as good as can be expected for Summertime trading. In other words, every Alert this week hit Target 1. And 3 out of the 6 Alerts hit Target 2. But the ATR’s were small compared to normal market conditions. So while the charts look impressive, the distances price moved was smaller than normal, primarily due to typical Summer market conditions.
To put it another way, earlier in the year the distances to Target 1 were running 7-12+ points on volatile days, but this past week it was around 3-5 points. Remember back on 4/11/25 the Long Alert hit Target 1 at 21.00 points and Target 2 at 70.50 points. That was the most extreme session all year, but it’s important to recognize how the system adapts to different market environments.
Recently a 20 point ES / MES move seems really significant and can take all day but back in the Spring we’d see 20+ point moves in one or two 5-minute candles. So the ATR’s are extremely important and that’s why I constantly harp about keeping expectations relative to market conditions.
There were some interesting things to note about today’s session. Even though both Targets got hit, the net point gain was a measly 12.75 points just trading 2 Contracts shooting for the 2 Targets.
The actual “traction” on the Long Alert was a little more impressive as price moved as much as +21.25 points past the Alert price. Target 2 was merely a way-stop between point A and Point B and there was a lot more meat on the bone. Price basically blew through Target 2 and never revisited that level before the close. So there was an opportunity to capture a more respectable gain with some fancy discretionary proactive trailing stop moves.
It’s hard to know when the market will serve up a one-way “trend session” so managing trades using Trailing Stops is the best strategy in town. That’s why the system uses it. The Trailing Stop tightened more than a dozen times today before getting hit just 8-minutes before the close.
Anyway here’s the chart and I marked up a few additional things that were noteworthy.
It’s interesting to see how the system gave the Long Alert this morning right above that pre-market resistance zone. It’s also interesting to note that there were 2 Long Alerts that didn’t fill prior to the one that did fill (where I have “Long Entry” marked).
Notice the “choppy price action” zone I shaded too. What a mess and the system managed to stay out of all that noise. But the result was that it took almost an hour into the session before the system took the Entry. Target 1 got hit fairly quickly but it took a couple hours for price to make it to T2. That’s because the price decided to chop around and grind sideways in a 6 point range for an hour and a half.
The market does what it wants and we have no control over that. And as I’ve been mentioning each post, we’re in the midst of the Summer Doldrums and it’s going to be over 100 degrees outside this weekend.
Summer trading is just a different environment and I’d say this past week the Momentum System took what the market served up and handled it pretty well.
Enjoy your weekend!
Speaking of Anomalies…
7/23/2025
The most unusual thing happened today. The Long Alert that triggered-in around lunchtime hit Target 2 in the LAST SECOND of trading before the 4:00 close. That doesn’t happen often so I wanted to post it here for posterity.
Check out the Time Stamp from the System Notes:
Seconds matter. But there’s a couple ways to look at it. First, the Futures keep trading past the 4:00 eastern market close and in the past we’ve seen things like this happen following the close, but the Momentum System goes offline at exactly 4:00. So Target 2 did officially get hit with just 1-second to spare. This also illustrates the speed in which the software “registers events”.
Here’s a look at the chart from today:
I was actually getting ready to post some thoughts earlier today but decided to wait until after the close. And it was an unusual close indeed.
But the entire session was kind of unusual. Notice the Entry on the early morning Short Alert triggered-in 4.50 points from the Alert Level. A lot can happen in 1-minute and sometimes the fill isn’t ideal. It did manage to hit Target 1 but the distance to the Trailing Stop was skewed a little due to the extra distance on the fill.
Not matter though. The session worked out just fine overall.
Here’s something else interesting.
On the Short Alert the distance to T1 was 4.00 points and the distance to T2 was 13.75.
On the Long Alert the distance to T1 was 5.00 points and the distance to T2 was 17.25.
I wish I could explain exactly why that is but there are some little “nuances” to the logic that I’m not even sure I completely understand. The system kind of takes on a life of its own based on the way all the little bits of logic fit together.
But it’s also fascinating to notice the “levels” on the chart in pre-market trading and how the Short Alert was just under the low from 7:00am. And the Long Alert level was right at the high from 9:20. Keep in mind that it’s not every session where the pre-market levels coincide with where the system issues Alerts, but they sure did today. Did I mention today was unusual?
Earlier in the session I was pondering how these “Summer conditions” are disproportionately affected by news. It’s like most of the time the market is in “dull and boring” mode and then something about Tariffs or Powell hits the wire and suddenly the market makes a quick move. Shortly thereafter is typically goes back into a sideways grind until something else happens.
There’s nothing worse than a sideways market where it just randomly grinds around in a tight range with occasional random erratic price moves. That’s tough conditions to trade no matter what. When we look at charts in hindsight we might think “just buy low and sell high” but it’s not easy to trade sideways markets in real-life though. As I’ve been saying, we kind of expect these erratic market conditions during the Summer Doldrums anyway.
But with the market up at the all-time highs it makes things even stranger. You may have noticed that recently we frequently see an early sell-down shortly after the open, then the market recovers and reverses and goes considerably higher. Honestly the “personality” of the market seems a bit different when it’s right up at all-time highs. That’s not something I can really quantify but I have a good feel for the price action and it’s a good thing we have some news to help drive things intraday or we could see the market trade sideways all day.
That wouldn’t be good.
But this week is going quite well for the system given all that. It’s only Wednesday but so far this week every Alert has at least hit Target 1. And a couple have hit Target 2.
TGIF – Random Stuff
7/18/2025
It’s OPEX Friday and it’s been since last weekend when I posted here. It’s a combination of a seasonal thing where I’ve been busy with all kinds of different things and the fact that the market hasn’t been all that exciting. That’s typical for this time of year. As I’m writing this the market is just meandering around in a range and there’s not much action. As we all know, July and August tend to have periods where the price action is just dull and choppy.
So today was weird because there was an “anomaly” in the price action at exactly 10:00 eastern when “economic news” was released. The “consumer sentiment” numbers were better than expected and that caused price to “spike up for a split second”. The system was in a Short trade at the time and that caused the stop to get hit. But what was strange is that immediately following that 1-minute “anomaly candle” the system gave another Short Alert that filled a few minutes later and went on to hit both Targets.
Normally I post 5-minute charts here, but to see how all this played out I had to zoom into the 1-minute chart.
The trend from the open was indeed down so leaning short was appropriate and if it weren’t for that “anomaly” that lasted a minute, the first alert of the day would have worked out just fine. So chalk it up to the pitfalls of being in a trade when Breaking News hits the wires or OPEX shenanigans. But fortunately the second alert worked just fine to basically even things out.
I’ve talked about holding over news in the past and typically the 10:00 news doesn’t have enough of an effect on price to really matter. When it does it can just as easily go in our favor as not so I don’t recommend avoiding Alerts just because of news (unless it’s a Fed Announcement).
But moving on… this week was essentially typical Summer Doldrums type of trading.
July = Summer Doldrums
August = Dog Days of Summer
While there’s plenty of opportunity for good trades and lots of good sessions during this period you have to understand that the market behavior tends to be a little different. It’s a seasonal thing. And for YEARS we’ve always expected it because that’s just how it is. And you know I always say we have to trade what the market serves up, so it’s neither good or bad. It’s just different market conditions.
Speaking of anomalies, the first Alert this past Monday MES hit Target 1 but ES didn’t. It missed it by 1-tick. So there’s something to ponder. We created the software before MES even existed and it uses ES data. It makes sense because both instruments trade in sync except for the occasional “tick difference” and that rarely occurs at an inflection point where it would make any difference to our system. But it can happen. There’s no reason to write too much about the idea that it’s perfectly fine to trade the Micros using the regular Contract data but occasionally a tick can make a difference so we just want to be aware of it. And again, these types of things tend to occur when volume and participation are lower and price action is more erratic – like in the Summer.
On a completely different subject…
I was doing some experimenting and backtesting this week and it revealed something extremely interesting – that I already knew – and have discussed here before. So get this…
I loaded up a fairly basic moving average strategy with a bunch of variables including the Stop Loss. When I ran it with a 2-point stop it lost money. When I ran it with a 14-point stop it made 50k (using 2 ES Contracts). So I started with the 2-point stop and each time I increased the distance to the stop the Net Profit increased dramatically. I was using 2 point increments. The wider the stop the more profitable the strategy was. Think about that for a bit.
Basically what I demonstrated is what I talked about briefly in the previous post. The tighter the stop the more likely it is to get hit and the more frequently a trade will get stopped-out even though it goes on to work. So this is something I want to discuss more going forward, but as mentioned below, the distance to the stop, targets, win rate and risk-reward are all inter-related and hashing all that out in a coherent way is going to be a long article so I’ll save that for another time.
Last thing I wanted to mention…
Look at how tight the current trading range is on the daily chart.
I highlighted the “flat top” since the beginning of July. You can see how tight and sideways the market has been so far this month.
Just like the fact that sideways price action on the intraday timeframe doesn’t make for optimal trading conditions, the same holds for the daily timeframe. Basically the best trading environment is when the market is trending on the daily timeframe and the daily ranges are larger. It gives traders more to work with. Tight sideways narrow trading ranges aren’t optimal no matter what timeframe we’re on.
That should make sense and just illustrates what I’ve been saying about dull market conditions and the fact we just have to trade what the market serves up. It doesn’t matter which way the market moves, we just want to see some decent movement. The good news is that tight daily ranges like that are typically “transitory” and when the market breaks out one way or the other, we could see some real action.
Weekend Update
7/13/2025
Last week was fairly uneventful as I suspected it might be primarily due to “seasonality”. July tends to have its share dull market sessions with low volatility and participation. If you haven’t figured it out yet, “sideways price action” is the worst type of market conditions because it just doesn’t offer a lot of good opportunities intraday. The result is that there are fewer big trend moves and less of a chance an Alert will make it to T2. Last week out of 11 Alerts, 8 hit Target 1, 3 hit the Stop and only 2 hit Target 2.
It got me thinking about the idea of just shooting for T1 in certain conditions. Sometimes it’s fairly easy to tell the market is likely to be dull even though that’s subjective. And the idea of trading the Alerts and just shooting for T1 is completely viable. The main drawback is that the initial stop starts off wider than the distance to T1 so the risk-reward isn’t optimal. Basically it takes 2-3 Alerts to hit T1 to make up for a stop-out.
But there’s more to it. Not every stop-out is a “full” stop-out due to the fact the initial stop frequently tightens prior to T1 getting hit. Sometimes that actually thwarts the Alert like the second Alert Friday. If the initial stop hadn’t tightened, price would have hit T1. So there’s a trade-off as I’ve mentioned before. The hit rate on any Targets and Stops is directly correlated to the distance they’re set at.
In other words, if our stop was say 1-point on every trade, chances are that stop will get hit most of the time just due to normal price fluctuation. If we wanted an extremely high win rate we could set our target at say 2-ticks. So besides the fact that isn’t a good risk-reward ratio, it doesn’t make sense to trade with tolerances so tight. So there’s a happy medium. Like pretty much every aspect of trading, it makes sense to compromise. The more wiggle-room we give price when we enter a trade the less likely it’s going to get stopped-out, assuming we got the direction right.
Without getting into the weeds on a lot of conceptual stuff right now, just know that the Momentum System is calibrated so that the initial stop, trailing stop moves and the distance to the Targets are ideal over broad market conditions and over long periods of time. That’s confirmed by the fact the Hit Rate on Target 1 has been averaging 75% for over 2-years.
If we wanted to take that hit rate to say 80% then all we would have to do is make the distance to Target 1 less. But that would skew the risk-reward. If we wanted a better risk-reward then we could set a much tighter initial stop, but then more trades would hit the stop and the win rate would go down.
We don’t use a 1-tick stop because every trade would get stopped-out. And we don’t use a 10:1 risk-reward because 9 out of 10 trades wouldn’t hit our target. That’s what I mean by “compromise”.
Last week just shooting for Target 1 was a profitable strategy due to the fact 73% of the Alerts hit T1.
As I’ve mentioned before, a good majority of Alerts that hit T1 tend to take very little heat. So in theory if we were just going to shoot for T1 we could choose to use use a tighter stop. And that’s a perfectly viable discretionary strategy in dull markets. However the bigger picture is that the system is designed to trade the major directional trend of the session, which “quants out” over long periods of time through all different sorts of market conditions. The high hit rate on T1, the “breakeven” Trailing Stop moves and the “significant distance” to T2 is what gives the system its “edge” over a long series of Alerts.
The results of any one Alert or session are basically random and beholden to the current market conditions. We want to think in terms of “probabilities” and the larger the data series the better. Like the house odds in Vegas.
With tariff news resurfacing we might get some decent “action” in the market this coming week. The system thrives on action and volatility but does a pretty good job of holding its own during dull conditions.
Summer Market Conditions
7/7/2025
I wanted to post some quick comments about today’s session and Summertime market conditions in general.
Today started off really slow and the price action was dull. We tend to see that more often in July and August. Those of you that have been with us over the years know I mention it frequently because it’s important to keep in mind. Even though we tend to see less “action” that doesn’t mean it can’t be a good trading environment. It just means that we have to be a little more patient and realize the market conditions are just a little different.
Case in point. Today the system didn’t even fire off the first Alert of the until 30-minutes into the session, and it never triggered-in. But shortly thereafter we got an Alert in the opposite direction and it took a full 10-minutes before it filled.
Here’s the screenshot so you can see what I mean:
I’ve talked about “slow markets” as opposed to fast markets here in the past. But the thing is that even in slow markets we can get significant directional moves. They just tend to happen slower and take more time.
In slow markets there can be periods of time where price basically trades sideways for a while and it can get really boring staring at the chart. There’s less volume and less participation and price tends to just drift around like it’s waiting for something – mainly news.
But the great thing about trading the Momentum System in these conditions is that sometimes you can basically “set it and forget it” on days like today when the market is moving slow. What I mean by that is that once you actually enter a trade, you can set the Stop and sell orders at the Targets and you don’t really have to babysit the trade other than occasionally moving the Trailing Stop. But unlike other strategies, you can go get a cup of coffee or do some other things and just sit back and let the trade play out.
Audio Alerts let you know when there’s a Trailing Stop move.
Notice that this Short Alert took 37-minutes from the Entry to hit Target 1 and 2-hours to hit Target 2. You really don’t need to watch every tick in a slow market and that’s why we recommend following along on a 5-minute chart once an Alert triggers-in.
I expect there will be plenty of slow, dull periods and probably even entire sessions in July and August where there’s not a lot of “action”. So trading requires a little more patience in Summer market conditions and it’s important to realize that. Another thing to keep in mind is that the ATR’s tend to be smaller so we have to keep our expectations in line with that. I mentioned this a couple times in June.
One of the things I see a lot in this business is “one size fits all” types of trading education and strategies that don’t take market conditions into account. If you read enough of my material you know that I frequently discuss the importance of market conditions and how we have to trade what the market is serving up today. The Momentum System is designed to adjust and adapt to varying market conditions and an ever-changing environment by virtue of the fact is bases everything on the current volatility and ATR’s in the market.
So in less volatile markets and in dull market conditions you’ll notice the distance to the Targets is less than it was back in the Spring. That’s how it should be.
One size doesn’t fit all because market conditions vary from day to day and change over time. And Summer market conditions tend to be dull at times and that’s just how it is. It’s something to keep in mind as we go forward. Maybe this time will be different.
Have A Great 4th of July Weekend
7/3/2025
Since the system is offline today and tomorrow for the 4th of July Holiday I wanted to go over a few things.
First, today is Thursday the 3rd of July and the (cash session) market is only open for a half-day of trading. The market closes early. As you know, the system is offline on “abbreviated market sessions” for several reasons. These half trading days ahead of a Holiday tend to be low volume and dull. Also, there’s a possibility that a half-day won’t be enough time for a trade to fully play out. We wouldn’t want the system to get into a trade that gets interrupted when the market closes early. We don’t want an Alert to trigger 15-minutes before the early close. I’m sure having it offline makes sense just due to the nature of the system.
So while it’s not uncommon for an Alert to hit a Target or two early in the day, yesterday was an example of an Alert that stayed open the entire session. The Trailing Stop never got hit before the market closed. I always say that every day is different and the “timing” of Entries or when Targets get hit is entirely up to the market and how the price action manifests.
But the way the price action unfolded in the market yesterday brings up an interesting topic.
I had a new user email me with some questions and one of them was “can we use a 5 point stop instead of 10?“. Well the first thing I mentioned was that the Initial Stop is based on the ATR’s and it’s not going to be 10 every session, it’s going to vary. I explained how the stop is calculated based on the candle ranges in the market that day and why that’s better than just a “fixed point stop”.
It got me thinking about how everyone is fixated on tight stops which is the conventional wisdom. Every new trader learns that tight stops are the way to go. So why don’t we just use a 1-tick stop?
Answer: Because it’s going to get hit every time.
Ok, so that’s an extreme example. Maybe we should use a 5-point stop as the user suggested. But remember back in March and April when the 5-minute candles had 10-15-20 point ranges? Five points during that environment was basically just random price fluctuation and the price could move 5-points in either direction in a minute or less. So that leads back to the same dilemma. A fixed point stop that’s way too tight for current market conditions isn’t going to be of any benefit since it’s probably going to get hit almost every trade.
This is an important topic.
It got me thinking about a potential compromise. And yesterday was the perfect example of what I had in mind for anyone that’s dead-set on using tighter stops than the system. Remember, you are always free to use a different / tighter stop than the system at any time. But keep in mind that we want the stop to be far enough away so that it doesn’t get hit by normal price fluctuation.
The tighter the stop, the better the chance it gets hit. So we have to compromise.
So basically my thinking is this. I know for a fact that the best system Alerts tend to take very little heat – and they tend to hit Target 1 very quickly. Just like how things played out yesterday. Forward “momentum” in the direction of the Alert. (Note the Trailing Stop level marked on the chart was “at that point in time” and had already tightened multiple times).
So on that chart I marked the “mid-point” of the Range which is actually a relevant “visual reference point”. That’s why the indicator plots it. Over time there will be plenty of Alerts that have “good forward momentum” and basically never look back after they trigger-in. In theory many of those specific Alerts will never trade back to the mid-point of the Range. So in certain cases it might be feasible to use a tighter stop at the mid-point of the range.
However what will definitely happen in many cases is that the “mid-point stop” will get hit, but the system stop won’t. And then it’s entirely possible the price will go on to hit both Targets. We could easily shoot ourselves in the foot by using “a stop that’s way too tight for current market conditions”. Plus now we’re getting into a lot of discretionary decisions that would have to be made. The mid-point of the Range gets explored frequently even on Alerts that work out just fine.
So the only thing that would seem feasible when using a stop at the mid-point of the range would be to “re-enter” the trade if price goes back to the Entry Confirmation – after a “mid-point stop-out”. It’s not really something I would attempt under normal circumstances but it might be feasible when the max stop is in play or the Entry is abnormally far away from the Range.
Using discretion occasionally under certain circumstances is a perfectly viable strategy. The Momentum System is flexible.
But keep in mind that while the system uses a wide Initial Stop, that stop “tightens quickly” as soon as price gets a little forward momentum. Most Alerts you see the initial stop “ratchet” prior to Target 1 getting hit. And then the stop ALWAYS tightens immediately after T1 gets hit.
So giving price a “little extra breathing room” initially makes sense and quants out. Especially since the system typically gives an alert very early in the session. The systems “high win rate” is a direct result of the initial stop. Super-tight stops = low win rate. That’s just how it works. It’s just math.
We haven’t even really explored any of the other important considerations that are relevant to how tight stops are set, such as win rate and risk-reward. But those are probably best left to another post. I try to keep these short and sweet but I tend to be wordy anyway.
I hope you have a great 4th of July Holiday weekend! I’ll be back here next week with more interesting stuff.
July Should Be Interesting This Year
Over the years July has typically been one of the months where it’s hard to know what to expect as far as market conditions. The system actually did exceptionally well last July and August but most traders know that these two months tend to have their share of low-volume, low-participation sessions. It’s known as the Summer Doldrums.
One of the topics I discuss fairly frequently is how market conditions affect everything we do as traders. In other words, as much as we hate to admit it we are beholden to the price action the market serves up from day to day. If the overall market environment is dull and choppy with lots of sideways boring price action, we have to keep our expectation in line with those conditions. I’m not saying that July can’t be a great month for trading, it’s just that we want to be aware that there will be some days we should expect really boring price action.
In other words no real “action”.
But there’s always the chance this year is a little different. So far 2025 has been an extraordinarily volatile year and quite frankly it’s nice to see things settling down and returning to more normal. The extreme volatility we saw in March and April made for a high-risk trading environment. We have to trade the current market conditions and the overall environment and we have no control over that.
I’m looking forward to July and hope you will continue to take a little time to keep up with the material I’ll be posting here. I’ll be posting new material every couple / few days.
I actually have some interesting “strategy” ideas I’ll be posting here that will help you navigate the system better if things slow down a lot. There are some great little strategies we can use when the ATR’s contract and the price action experiences Summer conditions. One of the nice things is that it tends to be more of a low-risk environment. The distance to the Stops and Targets aren’t was wide and the max stop rarely comes into play.
The daily ranges will likely be smaller most sessions and we’ll want to be aware that the distance to Target 1 might be in the 3-5 point area as opposed to 8-12 points like we saw earlier in the year. That’s what I mean by adjusting our expectations based on market conditions. The system adapts to an ever-changing market environment and we just want to be aware that July can have some really dull sessions on occasion. Especially just prior to the 4th of July Holiday.
