Hi,
The dvd didnt give an example cue on how to trade for the futures market. I noticed the use of technical indicator for the stocks cue but not for the FX cue. So my question is when trading futures should you use a technical indicator in the cue or not?

Also the presenter mentioned the matrix doesn't understand terms like 'close' and 'open' due to the meaning being taken literally but when executing the session the envelopes used 'Long' and 'Short' which have a double meaning?

You would be incorrect. It did not give a "stocks" cue. Expand your knowledge of futures contracts by visiting http://www.cmegroup.com

Indeed long and short have double meanings but in the context of a well posed cue, they work correctly for financial markets.

If I had to guess it would be because they are used as adjectives (and hence subject to contextual references) while open and close would be "events" classified as nouns. The Matrix is a grammatical bitch sometimes.
