Not much to say about the Fed minutes, nor the action in stocks today.

A very quiet day with a hint of weakness which did see me reduce more, but also, I bought some GDX as miners were showing a bit of strength, but I stopped out at cost in the last minute of the day as the ETF faded.

Strength returns in November generally so I’m looking to raise more cash and do some waiting, study and chart-work to be ready for the next round of setups who are sure to form.

SPY continues to hold the 100 day moving average but the action right now is telling me we need some time to form new setups.
