I've shown some stats for some of these custom KISS systems: GDX
78 min, SPY 78 min, AAPL 1/2 day, QLD KISS
Right now I'm working on QQQ 78 min - that stats are unreal -
once I have it complied I'll post, but geez the numbers I'm
seeing LOL
again these will be added to the KISS section in a new tab once
I"m ready - and the website will be set to automatically send
buy/sell signals for these systems.
Even the faster 78 min systems do not have that many trades even
though there's five 78 min bars in a day - on SPY 78 min the aveage
number of trades per year is 7! That's nothing, but yet it
beats the paints off buy/hold with total profit and of course 1/7th
the drawdown or less.
I'm not sure how many of these custom KISS sysetms I'll be
making. I'm planning to at least start with SPY, QQQ, GDX, I may
add IWM, not sure about DIA. I may add a couple big name stocks
like AAPL, I could do a sector or two as well. No need to dozens of
them at first - I can add 5 of them at first, then add more of them
over time
Market Comments: Last spring we made a predication that the
market would likely hold up and rally throughout the summer into
late July, then experience a correction in Aug/Sep and early
October (per seasonality) and that's exactly what has unfolded with
a strong correction in the SPX so far in a 3-wave pattern
Aug/Set/Oct.
Since early October, the market had a nice oversold rally that
lasted until the middle of the month, where the S&P 500 stalled
at an open gap resistance and just shy of the underside of the 50
day MA. As of Friday 20th, the SPX has retraced basically all of
those bounce gains. Last week the SPX lost -2.4%, Nasdaq -3.1%, IWN
-2.25%. Gold rallied 2.7% (not surprising given what is going on in
the world) however it likely has a major low in place. I'm
long-term bullish on gold. The 10-Year yield last week tagged 5%
and closed at 4.925% There is a potential negative divergence on
TNX, which is one hope for the 'bulls'.
What always bothered Steve and myselfis that the S&P 500
didn't test its 200 day MA on the selloff low into early October
(call it superstition or just years of observing the markets, most
of the time when price gets very close to a major MA like the 200
MA or some other major technical level, it generally tags
it). Well, that concern ended up proving out as the SPX tagged and
closed below its 200 day MA on Friday!
Last weekend Steve said the onus is on the 'bulls',
however they could not intercept the football and the indexes are
now testing their early October lows. Last weekend Steve
illustrated Leading Diagonal patternsand unless the SPX and
QQQ bounce from here via a
double bottom, those leading diagonals may end up playing
out with
that 5th wave move lower. Consider the QQQ's that are
still far above its 200 day MA, unlike the S&P 500 which is now
below it; the QQQ's may also need to test or undercut its 200 day
MA.
Big Picture: The market had a strong down year in 2022 bear
market, and the QQQs in particular have had a nice rally in 2023
(largely because of 7 - 10 stocks very narrow breadth). The
question remains now; did the bear market end in October 2022 or
has this
large retracement rally in 2023 simply been a large B-wave rally
of a bear market?? We'll see... There's certainly enough
factors to support a larger bear market (crazy unsustainable debt
levels, declining earnings for companies, coming recession,
mortgage rates at 8%, commercial real estate, China, still very
rich evaluations in the stock market).
Earnings Season: Some big earnings this week: MSFT/GOOGL on
Monday, META on Tuesday, AMZN on Wednesday, AAPL is Nov 2nd
The next Fed meeting is the following week Nov 1st/2nd
Geo Political: Unfortunately this has been one of the
catalysts to the market sell off over the last 2 weeks, and is
still a major wild card.
Interest Rates/Bonds, US Dollar, Geo Political are all potential
catalysts
it's overly complex - the KISS system for the KISS tables is an
indicator, that was added as default settings - it clearly
has some slightly different settings than the chart I have for the
KISS images. it's something we are aware of and have to sync to
make them all the same
it will be resolved, just pointing out, it' s all pretty complex
and remember we are not finished with that section.
my goal is to add a tab for custom high powered KISS systems -
the ones I've been showing for AAPL, GDX, UPRO stuff like
that.
I complied the 1/2 day AAPL <KISS, you can compare it to the
daily.
Slight better stats: bigger total overall, less average drawdown
with a lower max DD, actually less avg trades 3 per year vs 4 for
the daily. Higher profit factor of 12.5 vs 8.3, and 70.8% winning
trades vs 63.6% on the daily
I complied the stats, here's a custom version of the KISS system
on a daily chart of AAPL compared to simple buy and hold. average
of 4 trades per year. Avg drawdown is -5.5% vs -25.8% for buy and
hold.
other stats: for the daily KISS: avg 4 trades per year, avg DD
of -5.5%, 66 total trades, 64% winning trades (typical for trend
following), avg time in trades is 64 days
Market Comments: Last spring we made a predication that the
market would likely hold up and rally throughout the summer into
late July, then experience a correction in Aug/Sep (per
seasonality) and that's exactly what has unfolded.
Currently on the markets as you know
we were focused on coil patterns on the indexes and those all broke
to the downside last week (did any of you act on those?). The
options we were discussing were: 1. either a shallower wave 4
consolidation (least favored), 2. a standard 4th wave zig zag
deeper pullback to the low 4300's to mid 4200's (which I have been
favoring), or 3. a major top was put into place in late July. Given
the fundamental backdrop, the unfathomable amount of debt, Interest
rates at 5.5% now, 8% mortgage rates, also the market is not cheap
evaluations are very high, and this has been the narrowest rally
we've seen in our lifetimes - it's passible that we could have put
in a major top in July and not push back to new highs.
For a 4th wave scenario 'Bulls' need
to keep the SPX above the point of recognition gap from early June
at 4220), below that price would seriously start the favor that the
highs are in and the next major rally will ultimately form a
lower high.
With all that said - make sure you
have an exit strategy that fits your risk tolerance and trading
style. If that's the daily KISS systems, the major indexes (SPY,
QQQ etc have been flat as their STS smart trailing stops were all
hit). Also the big cap tech names that dominate the market (AAPL,
GOOGL, AMZN, NVDA, MSFT, META, TSLA) - the KISS systems are also
flat. The weekly SPX KISS has a wide STS stop at 4250 if that's
what you are following. The point is, make sure you have some sort
of exit strategy and plan in place.
The market is quite oversold here in
the short-term and could bounce from here, but oversold is not a
buy signal, so anything can happen. The market ultimately is going
to need some sort of catalyst to put in a good bottom, such as the
US Dollar and the 10-Year Yield coming in.
Mean reversion systems: While the KISS Trend Following
systems are flat, Two of the sub systems out of 22 systems have 1st
and 2nd entries on SPY and ES (Trend/Pullback and QE BTS). That's
the natural of these mean reversion systems, they scale into
pullbacks and are early at times. Should the market go lower we may
see 3rd entries for these and possibly other sub systems start to
trigger.
Key Events for This Week:
1.Tuesday: Various housing data (FHFA housing price index,
Case-Shiller home price index, new home sales, consumer confidence
2. Wednesday: Durable Orders/Goods (
POWELL SPEAKS at 4 pm EST the market close!!!)
3. Thursday: GDP 3rd Estimate, Initial Jobless Claims,
Pending Home Sales, Natural Gas Inventories
4. Friday: Adv Goods, Inventories, Personal Spending, PCE
prices, Chicago PMI
AAPL - Chart Link- some relative strength
against the indexes at the moment anyway, but long term I'm
expecting a down move at least to that 200 MA. One could probably
be short with a stop above the 20 MA
AAPL - Chart Link- 120 min shows price bounced
off that support trendline
AAPL - Chart Link- monthly chart - been
discussing this the large monthly MACD Divergence, could set up a
multi year top if it plays out. Watch the trendline on the RSI
AAPL - Chart Link- a logarithmic chart so that
you can draw a long term trendline, could be a target over time on
a good correction
the AAPL volatility system went long on Friday. the last trade
was meh so we'll see, the isheep can get excited about iphone 15
here and upgrade after 1 year - and yet say they are concerned with
the environment when basically it's like a disposable lighter
- tons of ewaste
