Market Bias for Issue #201

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is LONG SPX as of Friday July 7 at 2425.18
Our previous Market Bias was SHORT SPX as of Thurs Apr 13 at 2328.95


            Here are the trade parameters for this week:

SPX Secondary Profit Target for last 20% of our position = 2480
SPX Primary Profit Target for first 80% of our postiion = 2470
SPX BreakEven Stop (Last Close) for last 20% of our position = 2459
SPX Money Management Stop for 100% of our position = 2445


Action Asset Expiration Strike Option
BUY SPY Friday AUG 4 245 Calls
SELL SHORT SPY Friday AUG 4 250 Calls
You need to execute both legs and hold it as a CallSpread.

Note A: Once the Primary Profit Target has been reached, traders are advised to close 80% of their position in order to lock in profits. The remaining balance can be carried over with a BreakEven STOP, based on the SPX level at the time of entry, in order to make the trade a zero-risk trade with the final position running to reach the Secondary Profit Target. Once either Secondary Profit or Money Management (BreakEven STOP after the 80% peel-off) is hit, our Option/ETF trade for that week is over. Go to Cash and wait for the next PMT Issue.

Note B: When we change our Market Bias with Timer Digest, You need to go FLAT asap. With PMT Pro, that is before the Close that day and with the basic PMT, at the open of the next day.

Great run up this week in global indices and we should see some follow thru as we get into Q2 Earnings Season

DJ Transportation Index (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) continued to move higher, and in the process, making a new ATH almost every day this past week. Russell 2000 Small Caps Index (proxy for Risk ON/OFF) moved higher but it did not break above its ATH "print" on June 9th. Nonetheless, RISK is still ON.

VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).
