Looks like the markets are starting on a better footing than I thought watching the YEN market this morning. PPI number changed all of that. So, we will open higher than yersterdays closings, but I still think that due to my YEN outlook we will end up lower than where we started the day. Let us watch carefully.
09:35 ET, with a 62% retrace of JPY hit at 111.75, looks like YEN is done declining and Stocks make the high on the open?
9:40 ET, 51.45 could be it for Q's ( 10c stop)
9:41 Dropping very rapidly, with 51.25 stop it is breakeven for me
N QQQQ 50.57 ( 49.11) - 51.57(53.14)
N QID 38.11(36.52) - 39.58(42.12)
N SPX 1488(1478) - 1492(1501)

9:58 ET, STops down to 51.20
10:11 ET, Stops down to 51.20, not in the mood tolerating any rally here, as is , i/we missed the early open due to operations
10:35 ET, Stops down to 51.18 ( protecting the ABCDE correction)
10:39 ET, With this last drop, stops drop to 51.12 ( ABCDE no more relevant)
10:45 ET, Stops down 51.04
11:08 ET, Bearly survived at 51.04 stops down to 51.00
11:13 ET, collection 1/2 profits around the first low limit 50.57
11:14 ET, Stops on the 1/2 at 50.85
11:18 ET, got 50.59 on the 50.57
11:27 ET, Stops down to 50.82 on 1/2
11:48 ET, OUT with an average of 55c gain
13:27 ET, IF 51.15 is not taken out here, we could be heading lower again
13:42 ET, it hovered around 51.08 for 15 minutes, Yes we may look at it as it was a good opportunity to short with less than 8c risk!
15:13 ET, Well, remember rule number 2 of trading. Never worry about the profits you "could/should have made", there is another bus all the time.
15:42 ET, In a classic , deceptive YEN move 15 Min before market close they shot the YEN upwords!... Manipulation or knowledge... For me it is the later
And the stock market was predicting all of that right afer our 13:27 note of ours!
15:52 ET, Yes I know putting 49.11 in my limits looked crazy, but we just broke into the 49 level...

Hi Boris,
Today's open has jumped up to the Light Blue line on yesterday's trendline chart, which is at 1492.89..
High so far is at 1492.14..I was thinking it would back off this morning and hit it again later in the week, but it decided to hit it right away..Indicators are way overbought now, so it should fade in here somewhere...
I just sent you the chart as of a few minutes ago...
Regards,
Mark L.
Boris,
missed the open also, will wait patiently
Mark,
thought about it as I posted last night but still toooo much of a novice.

Goog morning Boris/all,
I am tracking the bank sector (BKX) as my proxy for the market. This mornings spike probably ended a third wave if a subdividing fifth wave of the rally that started last thursday. It should now probably spend most of today putting in a fourth wave and possibly starting the fifth before close. This will probably cause the markets to close more or less flat on the day.
When it finishes its fifth wave tomorrow, I'm looking to short around spx1507 but I will be watching the BKX chart which should top at 102 +- a few cents.
regards,
Mark P
Good morning too by the way. (::)
mark,
thanx
old john

Mark, the xlf is right up against it's downtrend line and the 20 ema on the daily chart as I see it. just an observation. Waldo.
Dear Waldo,

Dear John,

Good Trading

LAG
Good Trading Dear Lag,
Congrats!
You are the man.
All,
The $SPX hit the .39 retrace of the high of 10/11/07 this morning which coincided with one of my Exponential trendlines..I'm suspecting the market has probably hit it's peak already on this rally after only two days up.
The $SPX in particular has significant resistance in the vicinity of where it has made it's intraday top today..I'm thinking that there might be a little bumpy stuff around options expiration, but this rally (price wise) is basically over..
Regards,
Mark L.
Mark,
thanx, i am not technical at all ( obviously) but saw 1490 hold a few times,.
old john
Don't be too shocked when we see 1500.
Dear SQROOT,
We all have Texan blood in us. We are never shoked (: :).
What makes you we will see 1500 and when Dear SQROOT?
Good Trading
Boris, I am looking to short xle again, what is your opinion of a top before another decline. Thank you, waldo.
With options expiring friday, they will hold the market where the option sellers make the most money on experation. It will probably be more exciting watching paint dry. waldo.
Dear Waldo,
XLE limits today are ( first limits)
73.16 - 75.23
All day the trades is just around the middel 74.14?
Good Trading
Boris,

old john
