    A judgement can be made as to probability of the market rising or falling over the weekend (but Friday’s probability could decrease (or even increase) by events over weekend).

    It looks like it might work for me this weekend … got up this morning and ‘Weekend Wall Street’ has been bobbing between + 150 and +200 points .. see attached.

    For info: 27 points are needed to clear 3 days overnight fees per DFB Long Contract.

    Probability based around what the market was doing in the last couple of hours before close on Friday … see attached (on 5 min TF).

    I might ‘crash and burn’ and DJI might open at -200 on Sunday night, let’s see!? 🙂
