SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 02/01The FOMC Decision Day!
No surprises in the rate decision just crossing the wires. Of course, the devil would be in the details, to be garnered from the press conference starting at 2:30pm. Nevertheless, our models are already indicating potential trading levels as below.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are flat for now. Models indicate going short on a cross below 4039, with a take-profit on a cross above 4002, and with a trailing stop of 33 points.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Trading Plans for WED. 02/01:
Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4096, 4073, 4044, or 4017 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4068, 4039, or 4014 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exit on a break below 4093, and no explicit short exits for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 02:16pm ET or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

SPX Model Trading Plans for TUE. 01/31The FOMC Decision Week - Day 2
With the FOMC Interest rate decision due this Wednesday, the markets may re-remember the interest rates factor.

But, until that happens, the momentum seems to be consolidating.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models went short at the close yesterday, at 4017.77 with a trailing stop of 35 points. For today, the models indicate placing a hard stop at 4053, and tightening the trailing stop to 20 points at the close.

SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 01/26Good News Bad News?
At the open, markets seem to be buoyant on the GDP and on Tesla earnings. It may not take much for the markets to interpret the good news on the GDP front as bad news on the interest rates.
Our trading plans published yesterday, Tue. 01/24, stated: "With yesterday's daily close above 3985, our models have flipped to a bullish bias and will remain bullish while the index is above 4000.

Yesterday, the index closed just about 1 point above the 4015 level, and our models are closely monitoring that level.

we are right at that same level in spx futes4037 is former r1 swing in wave, and bulls are in full control of that momentum with the breakout. there are two paths we could take. if bulls maintain that control of the 4037 level we will reac r1 soon, but back to swing p sooner if we lose it. scenario a coincides with extension, and scenario b is a continuation of b wave. im favoring the downside, but im not dedicated to that idea. specifically if we take out the highs of this futures session im adding, and if we resist from 4037 im continuing to sell. tsla, aapl and the like are great both ways.

Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4021, 4002, or 3986 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4018, 3996, or 3983 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate long exits on a break below 4028, and short exits on a break above 3966 for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:31 am ET or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

SPX Model Trading Plans for TUE. 01/17Earnings Season Kickoff - Day 2
In our trading plans published on Friday, 01/13, we wrote: "With yesterday's post-CPI spike in the markets and this morning's early declines after the key bank earnings, the markets are sitting at a key inflection point. While today's action looks like a consolidation and the probing of a major resistance in the 200-DMA, the price action early next week could give us some early clues into the next leg of the markets".
In our trading plans published Monday, 01/09, we stated: "The index is now approaching the resistance band in the range of 3960-4002, and the price action in this range determines the next leg". This range is still in effect for today's session. Models indicate potential risk to the upside than to the downside, so bears might need to be cautious and nimble.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models are currently flat and indicate staying flat until otherwise indicated.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.

Models indicate no explicit long exits, and no explicit short exits for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:31 am ET or later.

right here, right meowin a perfect world we would be able to say that this is the start of a broader market recovery with an almost absolute degree of certainty. this is the real world however, and we all have to keep in the backs of our minds that things could still go very badly for longs. that being said bulls do appear to be keeping control of this bounce, and shorts look like theyre ready to start hitting pretty major stoplosses starting a massive squeeze. if we stay over this area, and steer all signals upward im banking on hitting those upper levels, and if we dont... then we dont. we are probably headed back to the lows at the very least, and possibly much lower if we cant maintain this momentum. however we are quite near confirmation of the first weekly higher low in more than a year. that is major.
SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 01/11Choppy, Range-trading Today
In our trading plans published yesterday, Monday, 01/09, we stated: "The index is now approaching the resistance band in the range of 3960-4002, and the price action in this range determines the next leg". The index failed nearing the lower end of the resistance band and got repelled from there strongly.
With the CPI numbers and Initial Jobless Claims coming out tomorrow, there is really no directional catalyst on the radar for today. Our models indicate choppy trading while the index is between the broader range of 3900-3955 on a daily close basis.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models are currently flat and indicate staying flat until otherwise indicated.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.

Models indicate long exits on a cross below 3901 and short exits on a cross above 3903 for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:45 am ET or later.

SPX Model Trading Plans for MON. 01/09Post-NFP Momentum Building Up...for Now
In our trading plans published on Thursday, 12/22, we stated: "Our models reiterate range-bound trading while the index is within the broader 3810-3860 range on a daily close basis". And, our plans published on Friday, 01/06, we stated: "Our models indicate continued choppy trading while the index is within this range".
Friday's strong spike up cleared this range on a daily close basis, and this morning's price action is clearly building on top of that. The index is now approaching the resistance band in the range of 3960-4002, and the price action in this range determines the next leg.
