I have neither entered nor exited positions today. I’ve attempted exits of options spreads on AMAT and XLF, but with no success. If either is filled late in the trading day, then I shall post an update after the close.

There are 37 companies publishing earnings for trading consideration the week of Jan. 3 through Jan. 6. (Monday, Jan. 2, is a market holiday.)

The markets remain slow as the year approaches its end. I have no prospective entries into new positions for Thursday

There is nothing on the table to trade today, and I would be unsurprised if that were so for the rest of the week. However, surprises happen, and I’ll be doing my daily analytical routine as always.
Here’s how I’ll handle it on Private Trader the remainder of the week. I shall post Prospects after the market close, even if there are none. If there are no prospects, then I’ll skip the Agenda post. I’ll post Outcomes only if I have attempted a trade.

U.S. markets will be closed on Monday in observance of the Christmas holiday.
Thereafter, it will be a very slow week, with only one economic report of exceptional importance. International trade in goods will be published on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. New York time.
