Trading Plans for WED. 10/09/24 – Can Wall St Celebrate Main St Good News?

Last week’s NFP numbers reinforced the much better ADP Private Payrolls data which thus far seemed to spur market “disappointment” that the economy may not be as bad as was “hoped for”(?) to warrant the Fed to continue to cut rates aggressively. It would be interesting to see if the opposite reaction to the much better NFP numbers so far can sustain this week.

Geopolitical tensions and Germany’s recent inflation numbers could add fresh concerns to the concerns about potential Global slow down and whether China’s stimulus would be sufficient to rekindle its growth. Any macro upside catalysts are hard to see coming by unless some unexpected stories emerge to stoke fresh enthusiasm in the market bulls who seem to be feeling a bit exhausted.

Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:

For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 5768 5758 5751 5720 5704 5690 5679 with an 8-point trailing stop except for 5768 which comes with a 10-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 5767 5756 5750 5731 5713 5695 5687 5677 with a 7-point trailing stop.

Models indicate explicit long exits at 5727 5712 5703 (if touched from above), and explicit short exits at 5727 5713 5697 5683 5740 5732 (if touched from below). Models also indicate instituting a break-even stop (which would trigger on an if-touched from above/below basis when in effect) once a position hits a 3-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:36am ET.

By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight (unless otherwise stated explicitly) – 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.
