Market Bias for Issue #308

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is SHORT SPX as of SEPT 25 from 2985
Our previous Market Bias was LONG SPX as of SEPT 19 from 3006


            Here are the trade parameters for this week:

SPX Money Management Stop for 100% of our position = 3005
SPX BreakEven Stop (Current Price) for last 20% of our position = 2972
SPX Primary Profit Target for first 80% of our position = 2930
SPX Secondary Profit Target for last 20% of our position = 2905


Action Asset Expiration Strike Option
BUY SPY Friday OCT 18 296 Puts
SELL SHORT SPY Friday OCT 18 290 Puts
You need to execute both legs and hold it as a Put-Spread.

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. The following trading day, we will issue new SPX targets and a new SPY options trade, as long our new market bias with Timer Digest is NOT flat.

DAILY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Tuesday, September 3, 2019 CLOSE at 2906
Max SPX 52wk-highs reading last week = 25 (over 120-140, the local maxima is in)

Vol of the Vols Chart

Spot VIX stood at 15.3 on Tuesday night, a tad below its -0.5 sigma (remember it's the VIX volatility pattern aka "its sigma channels" that matters, and not the level of VIX itself (this is per Dr. Robert Whaley, a great mentor and inventor of original VIX, now called VXO). VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).

VIX up ticked a bit but nothing to write home about.



5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts

NYSE 5-day TRIN is in clearly a BUY signal here while NASDAQ 5-day TRINQ is still in the NEUTRAL zone.



Components of SPX above their respective 200-day MA Chart

This scoring indicator could not get over 77%, and by Friday dropped to 72% continuing to build a triple-top (or as some prefer to call it a head-and-shoulder pattern) that we talked abut last week.



SPX SKEW (Downside Tail Risk) Chart

On Friday, SPX SKEW (Downside Tail Risk) rose pretty sharply to 117.5, now just a tad above its zero sigma (normal = 115, range 100-150).

All quiet on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts? our beloved HRH Capt. Tiko, KCPE, says YES (for now)...


How to interpret the value of SPX SKEW? (from CBOE white paper on SKEW)



3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart

This popular timing indicator for identifying tradable bottoms, (now long SEP19, & short DEEZ19 VIX Futures) hit -1.6 on Friday Close. That is a NEUTRAL signal. But remember, with continued Grumpino's erratic behavior, you never know.



HA_SP2 Chart

HA_SP2 = 48 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)

That as a huge drop in SP2 on Friday -- Thank you Grumpino !!! you are best that ever happened to day traders.



US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart

The Yield Curve (both front and back end) eased off last week. We hear Maury is not happy any more. He may have to change his analyst LOL.
