On Thursday Accenture Limited (ACN) had what I refer to in Around the Horn as a Baltimore Chop open. The stock gapped up two standard deviations of its average true range and reversed, making for a nice morning fade. As with most gaps nowadays, ACN recovered later in the session and managed a strong close and left a Line Drive pattern on the daily chart. The stock will be on the radar for follow through on Friday.

FMC Technologies, Inc (FTI) had a Switch Hitter day and looks to be set up for a move lower Friday. We will watch oil and gas (XOI.X)   for clues as to the timing of a short side entry.

Leasing specialist GATX Corp (GMT) made a Fast Ball move higher Thursday, leaving a low range consolidation firmly in the dust. We will be watching for follow through Friday.
