Look Before You Jump!

The banking meltdown seems to be spreading across the globe, and it could potentially be just the tip of the iceberg. When something doesn’t feel right, stay away from it. There are going to be plenty of trading/investment opportunity down the road – sitting on the sidelines for a day or two does not harm your financial well being; rather, it could enhance it.

With the situation still so fluid, it is advisable to stay on the sidelines unless you are extremely adept at navigating volatile markets.

Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are indicating to stay on the sidelines for the day.

By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops – if any – being active in the overnight session.

Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.

Trading Plans for WED. 03/15:

Aggressive Intraday Models: With all the volatility – reminiscent of the dot com bubble burst and the 2008 GFC eras – in the markets due to the ongoing banking meltdown, it could be wiser to not engage in intraday aggressive trading for today, especially given the static nature of our trading plans. Nevertheless, for those of you who MUST trade (professional trader? addicted trader? whatever may be your reason), models indicate the below trading plans:

For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3872 or 3852 with a 10-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3867, 3860, or 3848 with a 10-point trailing stop. 

Models indicate explicit short exits on a break above 3864. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:45am ET 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.
