Part one of our trade review was a very busy week where we went bottom-fishing with 46 trade ideas (mostly bullish) in just one week and only 7 of them were misses for a very nice 84% success rate to start off the month.

Already we picked up a nice move off the bottom with our /NKD longs up 50 points already ($250 per contract) and the Dow (/YM) up 70
