S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 09/28

Since our published trading plans last week pointing out that week’s 4505 level as potential top for the near term, the market has been in a free fall mode. Our models indicate 4340 as the level to close above for the current bearish bias to be negated. Until the 4300 handle is regained, there is no indication of any let up in the downside pressure. If the downward pressure continues, our models indicate 4200-4210 area as the near-term support.

The “higher for longer” monetary policy is yet to begin showing its impact on business earnings, and it could take one to two quarters more for us to see the earnings impact – and, hence the analyst forward estimates – which could have some more impact on the market multiples in the short-to-medium term.

Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:

For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4303, 4291, 4252, or 4238 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4287, 4247, or 4234 with a 9-point trailing stop. 

Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4300 or 4266, and explicit short exits on a break above 4270. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:16am EST 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.
