Trading Plans for TUE. 9/10/24 – Soft Landing or Not? (Day 2)
The non-farm payrolls data last Friday ramped up the hopes of Goldilocks scenario to continue on until otherwise burst. Markets to focus on the inflation numbers to be released later this week to (re)assess their odds of the Fed’s ability to orchestrate a soft landing. Till those releases, markets could go through some consolidation.
On Wed. 9/4/24, we published: “With the SPX close of 5528.93 our models have negated the bullish bias (for a 200+ points gain since flipping to the bullish bias) but, considering how far away the close is from the flip level of 5575, the models did NOT flip to a short but are flat and indicate waiting for a better entry for a positional short – with an open order to enter short at 5545 with a 10 point trailing stop”.
That order got filled on Wednesday and our positional models are short at 5545. They stay short while the index is below 5475 on an hourly close basis AFTER 10:01am ET – will close out the short on an hourly close at or above 5475 from 11am ET or later today.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 5485 5458 5435 5473 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 5483 5469 5457 5450 5430 with an 8-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 5434 5472, and explicit short exits on a break above 5471 5453 5451 5431. Models also indicate instituting a break-even stop (which would trigger on a break above/below any entry level in the same direction) once a position hits a 3-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:01am EST.
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), unless otherwise specified.
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.
