SPI Trading 4th March 2008 part 3



10:18

SPI following the Weaker pattern of the higher Spiral point and moving back under the Channel breakout zones....

Below 5437 and expectation price will probably push down or remain flat into %rate news @ 14:30

Exit 5392 +53 (neutral positions)

On sidelines but I wouldn't go looking for longs below the breakout zone today, as it's following the breakout 'Sell' pattern and heading down...

SPI Trading 4th March 2008 part 2



SPI 10:02

SPI opened much higher than expected @ 5460, but still providing a higher spiral point to trade the gap down.....

I don't know how price will react with this higher open, but there is still the expectation that the R44 low will complete @ 5418 (can't go long unless it's a lower R44 spiral point)

Short 5445 partial exit 5429 +16 Holding...

Stop entry price

Note: this higher open is not want would normally happen when a market wants to move further down. The best set-up is always a lower open and rise upwards into 5435 (R44 top) and then move lower from the spiral point and continuation down outside the channel lows

At this stage it's an each way bet until %rate news comes out @ 14.30, with price trading above channel highs.

SPI Trading 4th March 2008

SPI Trading in below Quarterly support and a 'breakout' of the Weekly channel lows.

Expectation that whilst price is trading below the breakout, price is moving down into 5323.

When we look at the break of the 3-day cycle, and look at the highs of the past 3-days, we can see that there is a large gap towards those highs @ 5713, nearly 300 points higher.

Whenever there is a change of the 3-day cycle traders can't discount a counter-trend move back towards the highs or a 2-day reversal. Last week there was a massive 2-day reversal back down towards the 3-day lows on Thursday and Friday, and that can happen this week also.


Yesterday's trading was based on the 5-day lows @ 5437.

I also modelled that price could consolidate outside the lows but only move in a 44-point range.

Today's trading is going to be based on the same 5-day lows @ 5437.

I also modelled that a higher spiral point using the R44 high would provide a 'short-trade' on Tuesday, with a much better set-up for any 'down-trending' day.....

"Depending on where the market opens tomorrow, but we can use the R44 spiral top tomorrow as a Risk-short and short-trade down following the 5-day ranges:-breakout and follow the 5-day range lower on Tuesday"

Tuesday:- R44 high Spiral top @ 5435 will provide the best 'short' set-up today, with an expectation that price will move down and continue down into a trending day.

Above 5435-5437 and it's heading back towards the 5-day 50% level, as part of the 2-day reversal.

Note:- Interest rate decision will be out this afternoon after 2.30pm, and the market is already factoring in .25% rate rise. How the market acts until that the time of announcment is unknown, but once again keep an eye on timeframe levels and Spiral points along with and 14:36 'buying', after the news comes out.

DOW E-mini Trading 3rd March 2008

Please read the Weekly Report before proceeding....

DOW and E-mini Daily charts

Both US markets are still range bound between Weekly channels, and any further down move in March needs to be verified with a breakout of those Weekly support zones.

Keep in mind that on Friday both markets broke the 3-day lows, often when that happens Price will move into a 2-day counter-trend move Upwards before the trend continues down.

Also it's a Weekly low and there is a large Gap to the 3-day highs:- 2-day reversal 3rd day 'sell' pattern.

Friday:- Breakout of the 5-day range lows will often push down before reversing back up to re-test the breakout.

Monday:- Support and expectation price will move back towards the Breakout from Friday (expected Resistance)

Monday could end up being a consolidating trading day between Support and Resistance....

Don't trade LONGS below Support on Monday, as prices are heading down towards the March lows, as per Weekly report

15:35

SPI rotating in 44 point ranges outside the 5-day low break.

14:36 buying support has come in pushing futures back up towards 44 point highs

Depending on where the market opens tomorrow, but we can use the R44 spiral top tomorrow as a Risk-short and short-trade down following the 5-day ranges:-breakout and follow the 5-day range lower on Tuesday

SPI Trading 3rd March 2008 part 3

12:30
Breakout of the Weekly range and 5-day lows and expectation that price is heading down towards March lows.

We have had a 4-week consolidating pattern during February, and now with the start of the new Month, the trend continues down confirmed with today's breakout.

As previous described:- today can continue down lower, or swing upwards into another 44 top before moving back down into the close.

Not interested in trading longs below the 5-day lows.....

FOREX GBP/USD 3rd March 2008

GBP has closed out the Trading month near the March 50% level.

GBP is still trading below major resistance levels on all higher timeframes, and at this stage the March 50% level is viewed a resistance level with the expectation that price will be pushed back down towards Quarterly lows.

This will be be confirmed on the break of the 3-day lows and matching Weekly 50% level.

The trend is defined by price trading below the March 50% levels:- DOWN

A bullish pattern will be a break of the March 50% level, and the Weekly highs.....


Monday:- price is trading down from a higher 110-pip spiral point and below an intra-day trend indicator @ 1.9912

Expectation whilst price is below this level the 110 pip range needs to come back down and complete the Range @ 1.97945.

After the 110 pip low, the trend will be defined by 1.98370, if GBP is going to test March 50% level then it will rise upwards from the 110 pip low and move above 1.98370 and continue higher.

Othwise it will continued down into the 3-day lows (break-support)

SPI Trading 3rd March 2008 part 2

Often when the market breaks out of the 5-day range low, the daily timeframe can swing around all day in 44-point ranges without making a extended down move during the day session.

A trading day below support is often confirmed with a 22-point rejection price pattern and the continuation down into the R44 low... Morning report




10:35

We have the break of the 5-day low @ 5437 confirmed with the R22 rejection-pattern outside the lows, with the expectation that there should be a continuation down.

Trading day outside the 5-day range @ 5437 has a random length, it can continue downwards into a 'trending day', or it can swing around into 44 points ranges all day

This morning's best trading set-up was a the R22 rejection.

Went long @ 5413 parital exit 5428 and 5432

Switched to shorts @ 5433 and added @ 5428

Partial exit 5423 5418 and holding with stops above 5438

looking to exit @ 5404

Note: Whilst price is trading below 5437 I'm not expecting any Upside moves.

The only thing that I can see would be later buying and an R44 'Hook' bar above 5437 which would attract short-covering and buyers looking for Gap closure......

SPI Trading 3rd March 2008



Please read Weekly report before proceeding....


Support:- 5432-36

Above support and expectation price is moving up into the Gap @ 5500, and then towards the 5-day 50% level by Tuesday, as part of a Lower Weekly open and a 2-day reversal back upwards at the start of the trading Week.

Also the start of the new month and price will try and move back towards the March 50% level.

Below Support and expectation is pushing lower towards March lows.

Two scenarios below Support on Monday

Often when the market breaks out of the 5-day range low, the daily timeframe can swing around all day in 44-point ranges without making a extended down move during the day session.

A trading day below support is often confirmed with a 22-point rejection price pattern and the continuation down into the R44 low, and then further selling pressure from the 2nd R44 Spiral top.

2nd scenario:- is a trending day pushing down towards 5323 (lower Quarterly lows), with the same 22-point rejection pattern.

Today is simply about trading either side of Support.....
