Current Trade - Alert

    Posted by tom on 10th of Oct 2011 at 11:46 am

    10/10/2011:  

    The SPYSwing System will execute a new Short position today at the close.   We are sending this alert out as early as possibly but with that we cannot reference a specific price level but the SPY would have to significantly retrace from current levels and likely would have to close lower than today's low for the short signal to be negated.  With the current market being so NEWS oriented it is not impossible for that to happen but currently does not seem like the likely scenario.  If there is a retracement later in the day we will follow-up with exact price levels but otherwise you should consider this the official trade alert. 

    This trade will represent 100% position for the Single entry system and 40% for those following the Multi Entry.  As always please trade as you see fit.  We will send another alert ONLY if the alert changes.  Otherwise you should consider this alert the official alert.  As always we will also be answering questions and making comments on the SPYsection of the Trading Community.

    I don't have ThinkorSwim, but that seems extremely odd, the SPY is liquid as hell, maybe TOS had a bug on their end

    Regarding this current short trade, at this time the system is not looking to hold the trade very long because the trending indicator is positive, therefore odds favor this being a short term trade per the system, we'll see....

    Matt, Does that mean that

    Matt, Does that mean that there probably won't be a 2nd entry for this trade?

    sschulman - the system will

    sschulman - the system will only do a second entry if the market rallies enough away from the first entry.  

    Looking at your 5 min

    Looking at your 5 min SPX chart, I hope it covers before we move up in a wave 5 as your chart shows, since that mapping puts wave 5 waaay up there in the 1200's!  Of course, it's only a mapping, so we'll just have to see (as you always put it).
