Market Bias for Issue #266

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is SHORT SPX as of OCT 25 at 2705
Our previous Market Bias was LONG SPX as of OCT 23 at 2740


            Here are the trade parameters for this week:

SPX Money Management Stop for 100% of our position = 2775
SPX BreakEven Stop (Current Price) for last 20% of our position = 2757
SPX Primary Profit Target for first 80% of our position = 2710
SPX Secondary Profit Target for last 20% of our position = 2690


Action Asset Expiration Strike Option
BUY SPY Friday NOV 23 274 Puts
SELL SHORT SPY Friday NOV 23 268 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.

Timer Charts of S&P-500 Cash Index (SPX) + NASDAQ-100 Cash Index (NDX)

Most recent S&P-500 Cash Index (SPX): 2781 up +58 (up +2.1%) for the week ending on Friday, November 9, 2018, which closed just about its +0.5 sigma.

DJIA ALL TIME INTRADAY HIGH = 26951 (reached on Wednesday, October 3, 2018)
DJ TRAN ALL TIME INTRADAY HIGH = 11623 (reached on Friday, September 14, 2018)
SPX ALL TIME INTRADAY HIGH = 2941 (reached on Friday, September 21, 2018)
NDX ALL TIME INTRADAY HIGH = 7700 (reached on Thursday, October 1, 2018)

NYSE McClellan Oscillator = +114 (-150 is start of the O/S area; around -275 to -300 area or lower, we go into the “launch-pad” mode; over +150, we are in O/B area)
NYSE Breadth Thrust = 58.4 (40 is considered as oversold and 65 as overbought)

By early Wednesday, it was clear that Goldilocks will be our political system for at least 2 years and markets rallied hard - by Friday we also found out there will be more political storms ahead and our markets sold off hard. More Tea for everyone? Capt Tiko signed a Decree while telling everyone of his 1,200+ Followers YES.



Canaries [in the Coal Mine] Chart for DJ TRAN & RUT Indices

200-Day MA DJ TRAN = 10,742 or 2.1% ABOVE DJ TRAN (max observed in last 7 yrs = 20.2%, min = -20.3%)
200-Day MA RUT = 1616 or 4.1% ABOVE RUT (max observed in last 7 yrs = 21.3%, min = -22.6%)

DJ Transportation Index (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) could not get passed its 200-day MA [for second time in four weeks], while its 50-day MA is getting closer to cross its 200-day MA ("death cross"). Should that occur w/o a quick rebound, we should see more selling thus its name.

Russell 2000 Small Caps Index (proxy for Risk ON/OFF) is also heading fast to its "death cross". RISK is struggling to make a comeback. Stay tuned....



DeTrenders Charts for SPX, NDX, TRAN & RUT Indices

50-Day MA SPX = 2829 or 1.7% ABOVE SPX (max observed in last 7 yrs = +8.6%, min = -9.3%)
200-Day MA SPX = 2763 or 0.7% BELOW SPX (max observed in last 7 yrs = 15.2%, min = -14%)

For the second week in the row, NONE of our EIGHT DeTrenders are in POSITIVE territory. The DeTrenders for DJ Tran & RUT will continue to be harbingers of future price behavior in broad indices.

Vol of the Vols Chart

Spot VIX currently stands at 17.8, right about its -1 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 & VXN both pulled back hard this past week.



5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts

Both NYSE 5-day TRIN & NASDAQ 5-day TRINQ are in the NEUTRAL zone.
