Morning Video Posted at 8:24 EDT

Good morning everyone. The overall market continues to tighten its price range and seems to be locked into a choppy go nowhere pattern. We don’t have any economic news to speak of today that could provide a spark of directional energy but we do have 2 Fed speakers wasting oxygen.

We are beginning to see a barrage of talking heads predicting the market has nothing up upside with an equal number of those saying we are close to a cliff. The fact of the matter is these talking heads are on their knees pleading a case to please put your money in the market because they are bleeding to death this year. A report last night showed that only 16% of money makers are beating the market so far this year. Outflows from mutual funds continue to grow and even hedge funds are parking money in ETF’s just hoping to at least match the market.

Trust me on this the market will eventually pick a direction and it will have nothing to do with any of these talking heads and their predictions. Just follow the charts, my friends.

As this range continues to tighten the danger of a big move grows. The very best position today is to keep your hands in your pockets and away from your keyboard. Wait, watch and be ready when a direction shows itself.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

petx-10-4-16Good Morning, Profit Traders,

T-Line™ below the 34-ema (SPY) —  The SPY closed down 0.24% and IWM closed down 0.31%.
While the T-Line™ stays below the 34-ema on the SPY I will stay bearish on the SPY and while the T-Line™ stays above the 34-ema on the IWM I will stay bullish. Neither chart looks as if It’s very healthy. If you are a cloud follower then you might want to know the SPY is in the cloud and IWM is still above.
Yesterday HRC members enjoyed a
11% move in PTEX 35% total
6.39% move in XTLY 22.25 total
5.54% move in 234% total

Morning Video 10-3-16 Posted at 7:59 EDT

Good morning everyone and Happy Monday!  As you make preparations for the trading day keep in mind that even though Friday was a very nice rally off of the lows, nothing really changed.  We are still trapped between 2 levels and the swift reversals we have seen lately could change everything in about half a heartbeat.

We have several data points that could move the market this morning but I think the one that will receive the most attention is the ISM number.  Last month ISM was a surprise showing a contraction in manufacturing.  Expectations for this month is a reading a 50.3 which is a weak number but that would at least be on the side of expansion.  Another reading below 50 will likely bring out the bears so watch the price action at 10AM eastern.  In fact would be a very good idea to wait on starting any new positions until we see the reaction to the ISM.

Friday is Big Kahuna with the monthly reading on employment when the Employment situation number is released.  We can expect the market to do a lot of choppy waiting around for that number as we approach mid=week.

Also keep in mind we have begun the last quarter of the year.  That means earnings will begin soon and the tension over the presidential election will continue to grow.  October could prove to be a volatile and challenging month.

Trade Wisely,

Doug
