Markets Indecisive on the Next Leg for Now
S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 05/12
Other than the simmering regional bank crisis concerns whipsawing between the sentiments of relief and concern, there does not appear to be much for the markets to go by these days. The depressed VIX could be pointing to potential complacency in the markets that could unravel in the coming weeks to either side.
Our models are indicating an initial bias towards an inflection point coming soon. Barring any unexpected bullish development showing up on the horizon, chances are that this could be unwinding to the downside - we might see a confirmation in the next few days.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are waiting for the tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears to show some signs of strength on either side. For now, the models are in an indeterminate mode and indicate no positional trading plans for the day.
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.
Aggressive/Intraday Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans for FRI. 05/12:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4160, 4144, 4130, or 4119 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4137, 4128, or 4117 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4157 or 4141. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:31am 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.
(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!)
