Market Bias for Issue #316

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is LONG SPX as of DEC 24 at 3223
Our previous Market Bias was LONG SPX as of NOV 22 at 3110


            Here are the trade parameters for this week:

SPX Secondary Profit Target for last 20% of our position = 3290
SPX Primary Profit Target for first 80% of our position = 3270
SPX BreakEven Stop (Current Price) for last 20% of our position = 3233
SPX Money Management Stop for 100% of our position = 3205


Action Asset Expiration Strike Option Mid-Point
BUY SPY Friday JAN 24 323 Calls 3.43
SELL SHORT SPY Friday JAN 24 328 Calls 1.14
You need to execute both legs and hold it as a Call-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.

This indicator also shows we were in overbought zone. We need to be vigilant here with our long [high-beta] positions.
