Since Europe is now "solved" the markets ripped higher in the overnight session, and I felt the open might bring quite a bit of volatility so I chose not to trade the morning session today.  At the open the NASDAQ futures swung higher, then 12 points lower before beginning a rally.   There were a couple of signals, initially a long at 14:21, followed by a short at 14:35.  In hindsight it was a good decision not to trade since the first signal would have been breakeven, and the second would have been stopped out for a two point loss.

It's unfortunate there were no signals later that would have allowed me to get on board the rally...
