Cveo look at weekly and monthly, even better, I am long owned it for a while now

Posted by jdaswani on 20th of Jun 2018 at 08:34 am

Guy's its pretty clear.... SPY $275.50 (Tradable ETF) and the $SPX (Index) closed at 2762. If you play the system you buy the ETF, not the Index

Matt, Let me help out

Matt, Let me help out if you don'y mind

Position sizes tend to be arbitrary based on risk tolerance. For argument sake.

You have $50k trading account, Normally it is not wise to exceed 10% of your portfolio. Can change depending on tolerance and stops.

So you have $5k per idea, Now if you keep your stop at 5% of entry, Max risk you take is $250 (Assuming NO GAP risk) 

$250 loss on 50K is only .50% 

Now if you told me, I am ok losing 1K on a trade, than you can adjust position size up to 4x, while keeping the stop on. 

Alway keep an eye on Volume, You don't want to get too large on a position if it does not trade at least 100k shares a day.  If volume is low, keep position size small too, you don't want to get larger than 5% of Average Daily Volume. So if it trades, 50K shares a day, most you take is 2500 shares. Even if that is below your calculated position size.

JROGER, Look at the CCI

Yield Curve

JROGER, Look at the CCI on this chart, most oversold compared to other similar period with positive divergence setting up.

$TLT looks ugly, but can

Posted by jdaswani on 17th of May 2018 at 03:26 pm

$TLT looks ugly, but can settup double bottom. Divergence setting up. The summer rally needs a catalyst, I think its rates, NAFTA and China deal that will catapult us higher. ST just chop / digestions from wedge breakout. 

Same game he plays every time,  sets expectations low, so he can take praise when deal happens

Is that bullish or bearish? 

Bradley dates only predict turns - doesn't specify direction or markets. can apply to commodities, equities, debt - doesn't really matter. I have tracked this for 4 years now and every turn date is not specific to a particular end market. Friday was the turn date - so it could very well apply to equities based on move. Time will tell. I just use Bradley dates to be minndful of major turns. can't really trade off of it. 

Friday Observation - Nothing technical

Posted by jdaswani on 4th of May 2018 at 12:53 pm

Friday Observation - Nothing technical about this post except we are bumping against 20 dma. Today is Friday and recently the market fades off into the close ahead of the weekend. Given the political revelations this week and china trade mission not producing result. I shorted some SPY @ 265.49. Plan to cover before close of above  the 20 dma. 

$SPX - 200dma being defended,

$SPX - 200dma being defended, 2 touches now, if it breaks, we could flush down

Interesting observation, I am on the CVS earnings call waiting for it to begin, Music in the background is soft jazz, I decided to listen to the newsletter and the audio overlays on top of the soft jazz, makes the viewing of the newsletter even better. Voice over the music with the charts works well.
