Markets Searching for a Direction - Day 2S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 08/09
With the Fed and Interest Rates not burning issues anymore (at least for now), with major earnings mostly in the rear view mirror, markets are struggling to find a direction and a relevant factor to latch onto. Currently, there doesn't appear to be any specific factor driving the markets in any direction, leading to listless markets. Our models continue to indicate choppy markets until this resolves in either direction.
The level of 4480-4490 is now the main support level, with 4500 the immediate key level for both Support and Resistance.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate the same trading plans as yesterday: i.e., going long on a break above 4486, 4491, 4502, 4507 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4475, 4483, or 4497 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4505, and explicit short exits on a break above 4465. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:01am EST 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.
Positional Trading Plans:
For today, positional models indicate staying flat.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an index-tracking instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
(WHAT IS THE CREDIBILITY and the PERFORMANCE OF OUR MODEL TRADING PLANS over the LAST WEEK, LAST MONTH, LAST YEAR? Please check for yourself how our pre-published model trades have performed so far! Seeing is believing!)

Trading Plans for FRI. 08/04 - The Precarious Rally Continues...S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 08/04
As we published in our earlier trading plans: "The question on everybody's mind - whether they are a bull or a bear or a bystander - is: "How long can this rally continue?". And, nobody knows - or, can know - the answer, of course. But, as long as there are doubters, the rally will still have some steam left in it - mostly feeding on short squeezes".
As we published in the wake of the US debt downgrade: "There is a potential for sudden spikes up to squeeze the shorts in the near term. Might be risky to stay short while the index is above 4500", the 4500 support level has held and the index survived any potential downfall from the US debt downgrade. At least, for now.
The level of 4545-4550 is now the main resistance level, with 4500 the immediate support.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4550, 4532, 4520, 4506, or 4491 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4545, 4528, 4516, 4502, or 4487 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4537, and explicit short exits on a break above 4537 (same level). Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 01:01pm EST 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.
Positional Trading Plans:
Our positional models carried a short overnight, with an entry of 4509.90 and a short exit at 4516 (or, the equivalent in ES futures after hours). The short exit level was hit overnight closing the short at a deemed level of 4516 for a loss of 6.10 index points.
For today, positional models indicate staying flat.

And, nobody knows - or, can know - the answer, of course. But, as long as there are doubters, the rally will still have some steam left in it - mostly feeding on short squeezes".
Earnings notwithstanding, the U.S. downgrade by the ratings agencies could have the potential to stall the bull. But, the bears should be cautious about jumping the gun, yet. There is a potential for sudden spikes up to squeeze the shorts in the near term. Might be risky to stay short while the index is above 4500.
The level of 4545-4550 is now the main resistance level, with 4500 the immediate support.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4550, 4520, 4506, or 4491 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4545, 4527, 4516, 4502, or 4487 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4537, and explicit short exits on a break above 4537 (same level). Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 12:16pm EST or later.

Positional Trading Plans:
Following our published trading plans yesterday, our positional models went short on a break below 4515 (at 3:09pm, at a short entry of 4514.93) with a 16-point trailing stop and carried the short overnight with the 16-point trailing stop effective (see the overnight exposure explanation below for positional trading plans).
The short made a low at 3:55am, survived the stop till 5:10am (based on the price action in the futures markets) where it was hit, closing the position at 4526.25, for a loss of 11.32 index points.
For today, positional models indicate going short on a break below 4520 or 4510, with a hard stop at 4527 and an explicit short exit on a break above 4516.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an index-tracking instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.

For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4598, 4584, 4575, or 4568 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4588, 4572, or 4563 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4593 or 4580, and explicit short exits on a break above 4583. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:31am EST 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.
Positional Trading Plans:
Our positional models continue to indicate staying out of the markets until otherwise stated.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an index-tracking instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.

Is the Inflation Fight Still Relevant? We Shall Find Out Today!S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 07/26
With a quarter-point rate increase almost a given, today's FOMC meeting may be a non-event, and earnings could be the driving force for the next few weeks. Only some unexpectedly negative revelations/indications from Chair Powell today could influence the markets - otherwise, the FOMC release and the presser could be just fading into the background. The risk is to the downside, so longs might want to be cautious.
Earnings so far this season indicate strong positive momentum. This week's earnings should shed some light on how the markets are shaping up in the wake of the sticky inflation. If they continue to appear to be on track or with a bias to the upside surprises then the next bull leg could get well entrenched. But, If the earnings show any unexpected weakness ("unexpected" is the key word there), then we might have seen an interim top.
The previously stated level of 4525-4535 is now a key area of support; 4575-4580 is the next area of resistance.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4581 or 4532 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4575 or 4529 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate no explicit exits. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 02:50pm EST or later (i.e, way into the Chair Powell's press conference).
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.

Inflation Tame. Next Question - Earnings Soft?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 07/12

The FOMC meeting minutes released yesterday, and the ADP jobs numbers this morning, and the consistent Fed speak...all point to more interest rate hikes (albeit at a slower pace) ahead and the rising yields are showing that the bond markets are bracing for that scenario. While the equity markets seem oblivious to the rising yields for now, it remains to be seen how long the equity markets can believe in the Goldilocks scenario to continue.
The previously stated resistance level of 4400-4410 is critical for today's market action. With a quarter-point rate hike later this month a given, the FOMC meetings might be becoming non-events unless the jobs and inflation numbers continue at concerning levels.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models indicate going short on a break below 4420 or 4410, with a hard stop at 4456, and a floating 45-point trailing stop. If a short is opened and stopped out, then the models will invalidate these levels and stay flat for the rest of the session.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an index-tracking instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Aggressive/Intraday Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4450, 4432, 4413, 4401, or 4391 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4446, 4428, 4396, or 4387 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4409, and short exits on a break above 4391. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:46am EST 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.

FOMC Meeting MinutesS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 07/05
Our trading plans published on Friday, 06/30 stated: "Cover any open shorts and avoid going short - next week's holiday-shortened week could add more spikes to the upside to hit any stops on the shorts". Unless something significantly changes in the FOMC meeting minutes due for release this afternoon, markets appear poised to consolidate and continue the gains to the upside.
The previously stated resistance level of 4400-4410 is now the support level. Be very nimble if going short while above these levels. With a quarter-point rate hike later this month a given, the FOMC meetings might be becoming non-events unless today's FOMC minutes deliver a big surprise (which is very unlikely). Hence, last weeks' spike up has a potential to turn into the next leg of the bull.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models indicate no trading plans for today.
