Few clear-cut trading opportunities. The 4250 Calls (thin coloured HLC bars on the chart) did drop below $15 for a brief period near the end of the morning session, and it was possible to sell them back into the market above $30. But the price was a little high and the profit a little low. The risk/reward set-up we look for did not materialize.
