Agree that we are not moving to risk now but my thought is whether this is an early sign of a change - maybe over the coming 2-3 weeks. Thanks for your comment TT.

I all depends on what kind of rabbit BB can pull out of his hat. Let's see what happens at the FOMC meeting.


Sell rallies against the VWAP!

This has been one of the best days I've seen in the ES in a long time. 1134.50 will give us a limit down on the day I believe. I'm still watching to see if we get to 1171.00 area of course. I haven't broke a sweat trading the ES in a long time. This is amazing!

Also, have a look at the USD. Pretty crazy! This of course could be from the BOJ's shenanigans but this is getting very interesting. There's two ways to look at the USD from a big picture perspective. One would be that it dropped below it's wedge pattern and is now testing it's previous support trend line and the second perspective is that it was a trap and there was buying interest at the low's. The next few days should give us a further indication of what's happening.

Of course, it's because of the Japs - they bought dollars! However, intervention rarely is rarely effective. This wasn't a coordinated move and even if it was, the yen is now a bargain compared to the swissy, and will probably be bought up. Further easing by the Fed, which is almost assured after today's equity sell-off ,will only serve to weaken the dollar once again. Everybody and their brother was short the dollar - that's why Jim Rogers got long the dollar, in spite of the fact he thinks it's worthless , so it shouldn't be much of surprise that there would be a shorts paying up.

The biggest sell signal was just shot across the bow, lol. This just in... Barton Biggs is bullish on stocks.

But he does bring up a good point that the next QE will most likely have a very different look to it. He predicts the Fed will buy mortgages and... residential RE?

Barton Biggs: Buy Stocks Aggressively, And Get Ready For A "Different Kind Of QE3"

Well, looks like the Barton Biggs indicator/sell signal has worked again. Lol! I remember when he was at Morgan Stanley. He seemed so much more respectable back then. Maybe it's time he enjoyed a nice, wealthy retirement.

Market could easily test 1150 tomorrow, with non- farm payrolls on the docket, although a disappointing number almost certainly has been priced into the market. Nevertheless we could see a washout on the number and then a huge rally, if we test 1150.00 There is a confluence of support there, with the weekly 100 SMA, potential right shoulder( albeit, a very loose interpretation of an inverted H&S), and the 45 degree angle trendline off the low.


99% down volume on NYSE today - only 5 previous occurrences 10/19/87, 2/27/07, 12/1/08, 5/20/10, 6/4/10

Only 2 other times $VIX was up 35% to a one-year high - 10/19/87 and 10/13/89. S&P was up +5.3% and +2.8% each of the next days.

I might enter a small long position today with tight stop after the job figures - depending on the market reactions.

I have a feeling that if volatility will calm down some and then come late Sept, then onto October we will see some really really nice movements. I am leaning one direction, but it doesn't matter what I think, I believe it is more important now in my trading career to evaluate market conditions vs. direction.

Just as a note to anyone that was following... my stop loss got triggered on the NQ when it broke its previous days low ( gave back about 1k on last 2 positions)... so did my ES position as well with a slight profit on the remaining positions. I did from both trades, but NQ was no nearly as big as the ES trade.
I am officially flat.
I realized that i closed the position out near support, but im not turning it to a loser, and i can always get back in and do this again if the market changes its mind. So far, i believe its neutral to bearish. I am not short or am shorting for the time being.

Thats why i didn't buy yesterday..... Glad i didn't have any positions on today.. looked pretty brutal for people that were long.
I might stalk shorts if the market has a rally for a better entry. As of right now, im planning to go out of town, camping for a few days with the family... Enjoy your weekend everyone.
