Final Final Leg Down For NowHere is the current forecast assuming Minor wave 4 completed at today’s high. The original bottom of Intermediate wave 5 based on all data acquired at the end of Intermediate wave 4 is on the right. The short, long blue box was the original forecasted low based on my derivative modeling. The current forecasted levels based on possible Minor wave 5 data points are on the left. There is overlap with the original areas. The low can happen fast and likely before October 26th. The low will likely remain between 4147 and 4180. It can always go lower. Original call was a low around 4175. It is possible we go below this by 10-15 points.
Once this bottom is in, it is finally rally time (short-lived but at least a month of 250+ points.
METHODOLOGY:
I operate a modified wave theory composed of Dow Theory and Elliott Wave Theory. All data is determined from comparing current wave locations with historical wave relationships. The listed percentages are based on previous movement extensions and retracement quartiles of the data. There is too much data to list all points but overlap of the quartiles based on specific relationships tends to point to more likely targets. The light pink levels are based on most specific data, light blue is slightly broader, and yellow levels are the broader set of data used. A red level typically indicates maximum historical move for the current wave throughout the historical data.
Derivative models take the annotated waves from the above methodology and compare specific ratioed-relationships to predict future movement based off of smallest standard deviations in processed models. ***Currently in beta testing to determine efficacy***
Sp500index
Back to 4400 Before Christmas, Down to...Assuming Minor wave C finished Intermediate wave 4 on Tuesday, next stop is the end of Intermediate wave 5 down. All models and the derivative analysis points to a very quick drop. Preliminary target bottom is 4179 before the Fed meeting. The full, yet narrow target bottom is the white box below. Once Primary wave 1 is finished (Intermediate wave 5 ends it), the market will see-saw upward for possibly a month and a half. The projected up and down is more of a perfect world scenario. The actual ABC waves will likely vary. The endpoint of Primary wave 2 is actually based on Primary wave 1 ending at 4179.50 on October 26th. I was surprised to see the models limit the Primary wave 2 high at 4400. That is basically where the market just was and it will drop about 200 points en route to 4400. The Primary wave 3 drop after 4400 should be pretty significant with lows likely below 3700 over 5-8 months.
I will continue to updates the forecasts as each micro wave completes. It is most interesting to see if Intermediate wave 5/Primary wave 1 complete in the target box as this was based on the new derivative analysis modelling I created. The standard deviation of historical data was very small, which hopefully means relatively accurate.
I currently have AAPL 170 and SPY 431 puts for November 3rd expirations as a test of these new models.

Top 10 books in tradingAs a trader now of over 23 years, I have read a few hundred trading books in that time. It is always really interesting to have other people's perspective, strategies, hint, tips and tools.
However, the main issue is not knowing if you are likely to get value from the book you purchase as it is also very subjective. You either have issues such as the book is too basic, or the other end of the scale, it's too advanced.
During the 20 plus years, I found a number of great books that helped me - but also ones I have shared with others over the years. Regardless of your level of knowledge how do you know what works or would work for you or your style of trading?
I put this list together in no real order, but I'll try to summarise each with a little about what I liked or what you can take away.
==============================================================
"The Wall Street Jungle"
Written by Richard Ney, first published in 1970. In this book, Ney provides readers with an insider's perspective on the world of finance and investment. He delves into the complexities and pitfalls of Wall Street, offering a critical examination of the stock market and the investment industry.
Ney, a former Wall Street insider himself, reveals the often deceptive practices and psychological games played by brokers and financial institutions. He discusses the dangers of following investment advice blindly and emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making when it comes to managing one's finances.
Throughout the book, Ney uses real-life examples and anecdotes to illustrate the challenges and temptations that investors face. He also explores the psychological aspects of investing, discussing how emotions can influence financial decisions and lead to costly mistakes.
What I like about this is the emphasis put on the market makers, as a trader who uses Wyckoff Techniques, it made more sense when identifying with Composite Man theory.
"Trading in the Zone"
By Mark Douglas that focuses on the psychology of trading and investing. Published in 2000, the book offers valuable insights into the mental aspects of successful trading. Douglas emphasizes the idea that trading is not just about mastering technical analysis or market fundamentals but also about mastering one's own emotions and mindset.
This book was one of the best in terms of psychology, every trader has a different appetite for risk and even profits, this is a huge factor in trading especially early on. If you struggle with psychology of trading or the emotions, I would 100% recommend this one.
"The Wealth of Nations"
Written by the Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith, first published in 1776. This influential work is considered one of the foundational texts in the field of economics and is often regarded as the birth of modern economics.
In the book Smith explores the principles of a free-market capitalist system and the mechanisms that drive economic prosperity. He famously introduces the concept of the "invisible hand," which suggests that individuals pursuing their self-interest in a competitive market inadvertently contribute to the greater good of society.
For me, the rules of economics have not changed much since the creation of this book. appreciating moves such as DXY up = Gold down, is simple economics. The main take away is again around Wyckoff theory for me and the fact the "invisible hand" is exactly why and how some fail and some profit.
"The Go-Giver"
Although not technically a trading book, it's one of the best little business/life stories.
self-help book co-authored by Bob Burg and John David Mann. Published in 2007, it presents a unique and compelling philosophy on success and achieving one's goals.
The book revolves around the story of a young, ambitious professional named Joe who is seeking success in his career. Through a series of encounters with a mentor named Pindar, Joe learns the "Five Laws of Stratospheric Success." These laws, which are principles of giving, value, influence, authenticity, and receptivity, guide him on a transformative journey toward becoming a true "go-giver."
The way I saw this from a trading perspective is pretty much, the value given by stocks or companies is something Warren Buffet and Benjamin Graham investment theory was all about. Although a different type of value - you can understand why instruments such as gold or oil have a place, a value and this can be deemed as expensive or fair at any given point. These waves are what really moves the market.
"The Zurich Axioms"
A book written by Max Gunther, originally published in 1985. This book offers a set of investment and risk management principles derived from the wisdom and practices of Swiss bankers in Zurich. The Zurich Axioms provide a unique and unconventional approach to investing and wealth management.
The book presents a series of investment "axioms," or guidelines, that challenge conventional wisdom in the world of finance. These axioms emphasize risk management, flexibility, and the willingness to take calculated risks. They encourage investors to think independently and avoid the herd mentality often associated with financial markets.
For me it's more about investing and less about trading. But the deep down message is all to do with ultimately wealth preservation, I have been in the wealth management and investment space and found it interesting that the more an investor has, the less about making money it becomes and more about safe guarding that capital it gets.
"Mastering the Market Cycle: Getting the Odds on Your Side"
Written by Howard Marks, a renowned investor and co-founder of Oaktree Capital Management. Published in 2018, the book delves into the critical concept of market cycles and provides insights on how investors can navigate them to enhance their investment strategies.
In the book, Marks emphasizes the cyclical nature of financial markets and discusses the inevitability of market fluctuations. He explores the factors and indicators that drive market cycles, such as economic data, investor sentiment, and market psychology. Marks' central thesis is that investors can improve their chances of success by understanding where they are in the market cycle and adjusting their investment decisions accordingly.
I had a spooky delve into market cycles, I have a good friend who told me he did not trade price, instead time. This was something I could not really figure out, but was so fascinating that the markets can work in cycles. It was interesting that Larry Williams also discussed a similar thing with the Orange Juice market's in one of his books.
"How I Made One Million Dollars Last Year Trading Commodities"
And here is Larry Williams' book. provides an insider's perspective on his successful journey as a commodities trader. In this book, Williams shares his personal experiences, strategies, and insights into the world of commodity trading. He outlines the specific techniques and tactics he used to achieve remarkable profits in a single year. While the book may not offer a guaranteed formula for success, it offers valuable lessons on risk management, market analysis, and the psychology of trading. It serves as both an inspiration for aspiring traders and a guide for those looking to improve their trading skills in the volatile world of commodities.
For me, the COT intel is invaluable. When you learn what drives markets really, COT is such a useful tool to have at your disposal.
"Nature's Law: The Secret of the Universe"
A groundbreaking book by Ralph Nelson Elliott, the creator of the Elliott Wave Theory. Published in the early 20th century, this influential work introduced a novel perspective on market analysis and price prediction. Elliott's theory posits that financial markets and other natural phenomena follow a repetitive, fractal pattern that can be analyzed through wave patterns. He outlines the concept of impulsive and corrective waves and demonstrates how these waves form trends in various financial markets.
The book delves into the idea that the market's movements are not entirely random but instead exhibit an underlying order, governed by these wave patterns. Elliott's ideas have had a profound impact on technical analysis and have been adopted by traders and analysts worldwide. "Nature's Law" serves as the foundation of the Elliott Wave Theory, offering valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding and predicting financial markets based on natural patterns and mathematical principles.
If you want to learn about Elliott Waves - here it is from the horse's mouth as they say.
"Master the art of Trading"
By Lewis Daniels - Master the Art of Trading trader, offers a quick, easy, and comprehensive roadmap to trading. It explores the grand theories and behavioural economics underpinning the markets, from Elliot Wave Theory to Composite Man. It unpicks visual data, such as candlestick graphs and trend lines. It equips readers with the correct tools to make sense of the data and to make better trades. And it helps readers uncover their innate strengths, realise their propensity for risk, and discover what sort of trader they are - on order to optimise their behaviour to make them as effective as possible.
This book puts together all of the core trading requirements from the basic trendline through to psychology and technical techniques.
"The Intelligent Investor"
a classic and highly influential book on the subject of value investing, written by Benjamin Graham and first published in 1949. Graham, a renowned economist and investor, is often considered the "father of value investing."
The book offers a comprehensive guide to the principles and strategies of sound, long-term investing. Graham's central concept is the distinction between two types of investors: the defensive, "intelligent" investor and the speculative investor. He emphasizes the importance of conducting in-depth analysis and due diligence to make informed investment decisions, rather than engaging in market speculation.
I don't think any list of trading books is complete without this one! It's the Warren Buffer Holy Grail. For me, it's about risk management, finding value - especially with investments like value stocks. Using compounding interest and the factor of time to your advantage.

Powell's Speech to Provide Market Direction?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 10/19
This week marks the beginning of the peak of Q3 earnings season, and a potential inflection points in the geopolitical risks with signs of potential ground operations to begin by Israel in Gaza. Geopolitical risks, high interest rates, sticky inflation, extremely strong jobs market, early signs of consumers beginning to scale back...yet, retail bullish positioning has increased this week again. Powell's speech today may not necessarily provide any clear market direction, yet it could lead to some knee jerk moves.
We have been publishing for the last two weeks: "Our models indicate 4310 as the level to close above for the current bearish bias to be negated". Now, this 4310 is the main support level and a daily close below that is needed for our models to turn bearish. The market tested this level briefly yesterday, Wed. 10/18, but bounced right back up to close a few points above it. This level may come into play again today, and how the price action ends today with respect to this level could give us some indications of near-term market direction.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4377, 4352, 4322, 4306, or 4285 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4365, 4345, 4312, 4301, or 4280 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4370 or 4319, and explicit short exits on a break above 4370 or 4314. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:59am 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.

Observing SPX Range-Bound Move: Be Caution and Stay AlertToday, I wanted to draw your attention to the recent performance of the SPX, which has been exhibiting a range-bound behavior over the past year. As we navigate through these uncertain times, it is crucial to stay vigilant and monitor the market closely.
Over the last year, the SPX has shown a tendency to trade within a specific range, with price movements oscillating between key support and resistance levels. This range-bound behavior implies that the market has been lacking a clear direction, making it essential for investors to exercise caution and closely observe the price action.
Currently, the SPX is hovering around the $4569 level, which serves as a significant resistance point. Should the price break through this level decisively, it could potentially signal a bullish trend. In such a scenario, it may be prudent to consider long positions, taking advantage of the potential upside momentum.
On the other hand, it is equally important to be prepared for a potential downside move. If the price falls below the long-term support level of $3800, it could indicate a bearish trend. In this case, it may be wise to consider short-term positions or even adopt a more cautious approach in the long term.
Given the current market dynamics, I encourage you to closely watch the SPX's price movements, paying particular attention to the key support and resistance levels mentioned. By doing so, you will be better equipped to make informed investment decisions and navigate the market with prudence.
As always, it is essential to remember that investing involves inherent risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Therefore, I recommend consulting with a financial advisor or conducting thorough research before making any investment decisions.

The S&P500 is preparing for an insane rallyHello Traders and Investors,
My name is Philip and I am a German swing-trader with over 4 years of trading experience.
I only trade the higher timeframes, preferably the monthly chart, because this allows me to capitalize on the major market swings.
I view trading as a long term game over the next 20 years which will help me to build massive wealth - it is not a get rich quick scheme.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I want to share with you my outlook on the S&P500:
Over the past almost 15 years the S&P500 has been respecting a super simple bullish trendline. Always when the S&P500 tested this level, we saw a major rally towards the upside. And now the S&P500 is about to retest this trendline again and I do expect another push higher.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of the people always follow the quick money. But the quick money is never the big money.
They think that making 5% a month consistently is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why so many traders fail.
The only think which you can control is your risk, everything else is unknown.
Keep your long term vision!
S&P 500 - Time to Go Short 📉🔥Why am i speculating Against the Market at this moment:
Tomorrow's Inflation (CPI) is expected to soar, thanks to the recent Oil price surge. This is a red flag 🚩
Ongoing tensions in the Middle East are adding fuel to the fire, causing market jitters globally 🌍
While rate hikes may be on hold, there's no sign of rate cuts either. Not a good look 👀
Let's Talk Numbers 📊:
Resistance stands strong at 4420 🛑
First target is 4327 🎯
Second target is 4210 🎯
Honestly, I'm not too keen on trading much these days. The world's current state, filled with conflict and loss, is affecting my mood. 😔
Why is there so much hate in 2023? It's disheartening. 🙏
Sending out prayers for peace, wisdom, and a better tomorrow for humanity. 🕊️
One Love,
The FXPROFESSOR 💙
Market Top Soon, Bottom Next and Santa RallyTarget boxes are based on derivative analysis of historical waves performance. This will be the first use and test of the new analytical toolset. According to the tool, Intermediate wave 4 does not have much room for the top, looks like ceiling is 4402, which is less than originally expected. Next reversal point will be a low around 4180 which is much higher than originally expected. The timeframe for this low is also pretty quick as Intermediate wave 5 is only expected to last 34-54 trading hours, when Intermediate wave 1 was 112, and Intermediate wave 3 was in the 150s. Once the bottom is in, it will end Primary wave 1 meaning a corrective wave upward will occur over the following weeks which should take the market up through mid- to late-November. 2023 could end on a positive note, however it is masking the damage Primary wave 3 down will do through the first to second quarter of 2024.
$UVXY $120+ BUY CALLSUVXY is a volatility factor in the market. As political tensions rise high in the world, we are due for another market correction and overall world market corrections. USA of course is protecting its interest in the Middle East and as we can see, Israel-Palestine conflict is only getting started. This is a multi-decade war between Israel and Arab/Muslim states.
However, this war is not going to be similar to previous, this will be final and deciding war in that region, after which, nothing will be left there and geographical borders will change. This is a political game because of all the resources hidden, particularly Oil, in the Middle East. I believe this time we will see a use of nuclear weapons.
There will be de-stabilization in that region and rest of the world. UVXY will spike due to this. I'm not sure about my timing, but I see these tensions rising very high and markets staying volatile within near future.
Please check out my other predictions as they are fairly accurate, I don't post a lot, but I think this time I might be right.
ES Hourly AnalysisES Hourly - Simple Analysis.
To keep it as simple as possible:
4365 is a key level as clearly depicted. While we are below it, there is bearish sentiment. Above it, bullish.
~4345 is a one hour demand zone because this is where price was able to fill the gap, while also having a strong push above a previous high and breaking above prior resistance. Price has tapped into that demand and has currently shown strength, but we need to see it get back above 4365.
SPX500 Bearish Reversal , Time to fall Hello traders as you can see in my analysis it seems like spx500 has changed from an uptrend to a down trend forming a head and shoulder a classic bearish reversal pattern .
i believe the price is being influenced by the dollar monetary policy and the situation in Palestine so watch out for that .
but technically speaking , the price is coming down.
please share with me your thoughts below .
short at 4342-50 to target short time 4310-15 so an easy 30 pipsshort #sp500 #us500 at 4342 with very short time tp at 4311-15 around so a good 30 pips in pocket ,for long term or short term dependt of the #us #cpi tomorrow there the target 2 on simply chart below #nasdaq too can short for 50 pips no problem #gold #wti #eurusd #usdjpy #gbpusd

ES - Bullish Analysis Quick ES Daily Analysis - Bullish/Neutral - Building 4 Hour Bull Flag into a Break and Retest
Thursday & Friday we saw a nice rejection off of 4430's backtest. Now we are at a recent break and retest level of 4340-4350 that was resistance for about 3 days from 28 Sep - 02 Oct. I'd say if we want to see more upside, this is where bulls need to hold in order to break above 4430's resistance. We are also sort of building a 4 hour bull flag into this level. We could very well dip back down into the weekly demand of 4265, but on Monday, depending on how ES's overnight acts, I'll be looking for longs in this area.
If we break below this retest zone, ES could put 4300 back in play for the shorts (from a daily analysis standpoint).
S&P500 Looks like a good opportunity to grab some liquidityHello trader! I'm interpreting this setup as follows: locally, the trend is upward. After a correction driven by recent news, the price has absorbed a significant portion of the liquidity from below, which was formed during the current week. There's room to move upward in pursuit of the next liquidity. I'm placing the stop loss below the order block.

Earnings Season Kicks OffS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 10/13
Today marks the kick off of the Q3 earnings season, and a potential inflection points in the geopolitical risks with signs of potential ground operations to begin by Israel in Gaza. Geopolitical risks, high interest rates, sticky inflation - reiterated by this morning's CPI numbers, extremely strong jobs market, early signs of consumers beginning to scale back...yet, retail bullish positioning has increased this week again. Is this Fools rushing in where Angels fear to tread or retail investors having some crystal ball into the future that institutions don't have access to? Only time can tell.
However, our AI-driven models (since 2018 - not a "me too AI" bandwagon hopper) have negated the bearish bias yesterday, Tue. 10/10, based on the last two sessions' price action and in line with what we have been publishing for the last week or so: "Our models indicate 4310 as the level to close above for the current bearish bias to be negated". Now, this 4310 is the main support level and a daily close below that is needed for our models to turn bearish.

If Minor B was today, final top is Tuesday stillLast night's analysis of forecasting Minute wave B said models liked it at 4 hours long, secondary agreement at 6, and third was 3 hours. It was only 2 hours old at that time of writing. If Minute B was the top today it finished at 5 hours old. The top was 40 cents above the prior high, which can only happen in a B wave which does not help rule a scenario out.
The low achieved by what could be Minute wave C and subsequently Minor wave B was hit on cue today, the levels never mattered since they were based on Minute wave A's movement and not Minute B.
Last night's analysis said Minute wave C in Minor wave B could be 2-4 hours long, which I thought was too short and especially hard to achieve if we did not gap down at the open. I did not think a 65 point drop in a few hours could happen today if not catalyzed by the CPI report premarket. Well it surely dropped in 2 hours. I stated the bottom for Minute wave C was favored between 4320-4345, and liked the window between 4320-4335. Sure enough, the low was 4325.43.
All of these things working out support the case for Minor wave B down to have completed and now we are in the final leg up with Minor wave C. This final leg up was initially projected to see a market top around 4400, based on the adjustment made on Minor wave A's close yesterday. The top was projected to occur by Tuesday.
Right now, Minor wave C up appears to last 16-22 hours which is likely a top on Tuesday between 4420-4448. This is quite a bit higher than the initial projection and above all prior 3rd quartile datapoints. Does not mean this is impossible, but it set up to overachieve the "normal" movement.
Once Intermediate wave 4 is complete, Intermediate wave 5 will likely take the market down through all of earnings season. For the first time in a while this could be a bad earnings season, not sure if companies are finally or only starting to see less profit. The Fed will meet and possibly hike in this middle of Intermediate wave 5 down as well. Israel conflict may not last long enough to impact economies and force the Fed to be more hawkish than initially suggested this week. Oil is rising. PPI went up. CPI went up. Initial job claims dropped well below expectations. Initial forecast is Intermediate wave 5 down to likely last through November placing a bottom around 4100. As this would also conclude Primary wave 1 down, December could begin a 2-3 month rally during Primary wave 2 up.

For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4401, 4388, 4380, 4347, or 4337 with a 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4398, 4368, 4355, 4343, or 4334 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4385 or 4376, and explicit short exits on a break above 4359 or 4371. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:32am 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.

Fools Rushing In or Angels' Crystal Ball? Day 2S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 10/11
Geopolitical risks, high interest rates, sticky inflation, extremely strong jobs market, early signs of consumers beginning to scale back (per Walmart's CEO)...yet, retail bullish positioning has increased last week. Is this Fools rushing in where Angels fear to tread or retail investors having some crystal ball into the future that institutions don't have access to? Only time can tell.
However, our AI-driven models (since 2018 - not a "me too AI" bandwagon hopper) have negated the bearish bias yesterday, Tue. 10/10, based on the last two sessions' price action and in line with what we have been publishing for the last week or so: "Our models indicate 4310 as the level to close above for the current bearish bias to be negated". Now, this 4310 is the main support level and a daily close below that is needed for our models to turn bearish.
