Stuck for a Week – Next Week to See Some Movement?
On the day our last published Trading Plans on Monday, 07/11, stated our positional trading plans going into an indeterminate state, the index closed at 3854.43. After the full week filled with very important economic releases and major earnings kick off – and, volatile gyrations up and down – we are STILL looking at market action centered just around that 3845/3855 range. That shows why our models did not indicate any trading plans, yet, for the rest of the week.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading are in an indeterminate state and indicate no positional trading plans until further notice.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate no trading plans for today. You do NOT “have to” trade every day even if you are an intraday trader. Let the markets get out of this “stuck” state before you wanna ride them again. Won’t be too long. In the mean time, have a great weekend!
Trading Plans for FRI. 07/15:
Aggressive Intraday Models: No trading plans for today.
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.
