SPX Model Trading Plans for FRI. 03/24When Bank Safes Don't Feel Safe Anymore...
Not just U.S. regional banks, but CreditSuisse the other day and now Deutsche Bank...investors seem to be wondering if they can feel safe with their banks, and that could lead to them first selling and then asking questions. So far, there doesn't seem to be much of a panic on the markets...yet.
As we wrote in our trading plans yesterday, "For now, markets seem to be still parsing and confused as indicated by the whipsaw action so far". This confusion now could be spreading to not only the FOMC's ability to fight inflation, but about the Fed's ability to avert another 2008-like meltdown in the financial system. How this confusion evolves would have a bearing on where the markets will go in the short term, and we have no way of knowing it.
Positional Trading Models: Only nimble, opportunistic trading - as opposed to positional trading - could be safe in these waters. Hence, our positional models are indicating to stay on the sidelines for yet another 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.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Trading Plans for FRI. 03/24:
Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3957, 3948, 3941, 3926, or 3911 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3946, 3937, 3923, o 3908 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 3953. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:05am 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 THU. 03/23Collateral Damage or Covert Help?
(after being stuck in an indeterminate state, our models are out today with their trading plans for the day)
The banking meltdown seems to be the collateral damage from the Fed's battle with inflation. Chair Powell tried his best to be balanced in his press conference post-FOMC yesterday, trying to indicate his preparedness to fight the inflation while indicating he is aware of - and, is on top of containing - the collateral damage that seems to be manifesting in the form of the crisis in regional banks.
The crisis - and the resulting potential economic slowdown - could be a helping hand to the FOMC in its fight. The next leg in the markets will depend on how it is interpreted by the investors. For now, markets seem to be still parsing and confused as indicated by the whipsaw action so far.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are indicating to stay on the sidelines for the day.

Models indicate explicit short exits on a break above 3864. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:30am ET or later.

SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 03/15Look Before You Jump!
The banking meltdown seems to be spreading across the globe, and it could potentially be just the tip of the iceberg. When something doesn't feel right, stay away from it. There are going to be plenty of trading/investment opportunity down the road - sitting on the sidelines for a day or two does not harm your financial well being; rather, it could enhance it.
With the situation still so fluid, it is advisable to stay on the sidelines unless you are extremely adept at navigating volatile markets.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are indicating to stay on the sidelines 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.

Trading Plans for WED. 03/15:
Aggressive Intraday Models: With all the volatility - reminiscent of the dot com bubble burst and the 2008 GFC eras - in the markets due to the ongoing banking meltdown, it could be wiser to not engage in intraday aggressive trading for today, especially given the static nature of our trading plans. Nevertheless, for those of you who MUST trade (professional trader? addicted trader? whatever may be your reason), models indicate the below trading plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3872 or 3852 with a 10-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3867, 3860, or 3848 with a 10-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit short exits on a break above 3864. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:45am 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).

ES futures ready to tap 4,000?It was about as much of a risk-on day Tuesday could have been for US markets, with bond yields and indices rising with commodity FX.
It allowed the S&P 500 E-mini futures contract to break a 3-day losing streak and form a 3-bar bullish reversal pattern (Morning Star), so perhaps the low for the week is in place?
The 15-min chart shows prices hovering just below yesterday's high in a small bull-flag formation, although as this is out of hours trade then it's possible the market may pull back prior to another leg higher.
- The bias is bullish above the daily pivot once we get evidence of momentum moving higher
- Otherwise look for a low volatility pullback within yesterday's range and evidence of a swing low
- Today we have our eyes on the resistance zone around 4,000 which includes the daily R1 pivot, Monday's VPOC and the 4,000 handle
SPX Model Trading Plans for MON. 03/13The Banking Meltdown Rollercoaster Does NOT Bode Disaster!
The banking meltdown that started last week is now being stemmed by the Fed, with the new Fed facility extended to the banks for liquidity. Despite the failures of SVB, Signature Bank, and Silvergate, do NOT bet against the Fed's ability to stave off economic disasters in the U.S. There is no better country or financial markets that one can turn to if the U.S. markets themselves fail, whether one likes it or not.

Best guess: current situation in MarketI think the market is consolidating for the next push up... but probably won't be consolidating here anymore, rather lower is coming... I'm fully expectant and prepared for LOWER LOWS to come... so if you want to follow idea on Long, do know it's early still...
Tape Wise, market flipped bull mode on October 13th... price going lower is not "PER SE" a bear tape.
I'll update if I sense the stink of bear taking hold of market... his claws printed in Tape... for now price is just controlabelly and smoothly cooling off & falling lower (remember, "velocity" is not all there is to bear tape... yes, bear tape requires velocity, but a relatively speedy down trend is not on its own a bearish tape...)
So: until Tape flips bear and trend is broken, we assume after lower prices, higher ONES will come...
SP500, a setup for the bears.SP500, SP500, Emini, ES / 4H
Hello traders, welcome back to another market breakdown.
SP500 has rejected a major level on the monthly and broken to the down side and now is testing the brekaout point.
I'll be looking for a short postion around 4080 if I get a confirmition on LTF.
trade safely,
Trader Leo.
SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 03/08Fed Fight Fatigue/Reality to Set In Soon?
Markets are still trying hard to get unstuck from the Fed Fight and move on in some clear direction. Despite the apparently big moves and volatility and Fed events, the markets are just where they were in 2nd/3rd week of January! Double check the S&P 500 Index close on Jan 8th-12th, and you can see it.
There is no clear directionality to the markets - not as of now. The increasingly bearish positioning from the retail traders could be pointing to a potential spike up to hunt their stops and/or take out their leveraged positions before any real directionality could set in. Both the bulls and the bears need to be nimble if they want to wade into these markets - a safer option could be to be on the sidelines until the dust settles.

SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 02/23Event Risks Resolving Downwards?
Our trading plans published yesterday stated: "Unless some major upside surprise, our models indicate current downtrend to pick up momentum. Longs need to be wary of the loss of upside momentum and wait for a while before dipping their toes into the longs". The FOMC-Minutes and GDP-Release events yesterday and this morning seem to be resolving to the downside, for now, after an initial pop in the markets. If the index closes in the red today, we can expect a continued down push tomorrow and into the next week.

SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 02/22FOMC Minutes and GDP To Set the Near Term Tone
Yesterday's Range Breakdown to be tested today with the FOMC minutes at 2pm EST, followed by GDP release tomorrow at 8:30am EST. Unless some major upside surprise, our models indicate current downtrend to pick up momentum. Longs need to be wary of the loss of upside momentum and wait for a while before dipping their toes into the longs.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are wary of the potential volatility spikes this afternoon and tomorrow morning due to the major economic releases as mentioned above, and are indicating to stay on the sidelines 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.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Trading Plans for WED. 02/22:
Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3941, 3993, 4020, or 4055 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4051, 4014, 3988, 3983, 3967, or 3938 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit short exits on a break above 3972 or 3955, and explicit long exits on a break below 4067. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 12:31pm 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.

We got that confirmation with a close at 4079.09 on Friday.

SPX Model Trading Plans for FRI. 02/17Range Broken Downward?
On the Day 9 of the consolidation theme, our trading plans yesterday published: "If the index closes below 4150 today, our models indicate continued choppy trading until some unexpectedly positive macro development shows up. There is no bearish concerns as long as the index is above 4095".
The index closed below that 4095 level yesterday, leading our models to turn bearish, and our positional models to go short. Today's closing action needs to stay below 4088 to confirm this bearish turn. If it is not confirmed, our models point to the risk of an upward spike, trapping the shorts. If going short, beware of a potential bear trap.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models opened a short on the close yesterday at 4090.42, with a take-profit on a cross above 4065, and a trailing stop of 33 points. The index crossed the 4065 at 9:42am, closing the short on the open of the next 1-minute bar at 4065.38, for a profit of 25.04 points.
For today, the models indicate going long on a cross above 4072 with a trailing stop of 12 points. Models also indicate going long at the daily close if above 4100 with a trailing stop of 10 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.
