Daily Note Live - Follow Up

Thanks to all the attended today's Hedge Fund Telemetry Daily Note Live Webinar.  I covered a lot of markets from global equities, bonds, currencies, commodities as well some sectors and stocks.  One of these days I'll figure out how to run the webinar software so skip a few minutes into it, while I figured out how to put on the sound.  Did I mention I hate technology?  Here is the link for the replay.  

A bounce is likely ahead into wave 4 with the shorter term tactical 60 minute charts while the first wave on the daily charts should bounce with a lower high bounce.  A few option trades I've mentioned from early September I'm still holding:  VIX Oct 15/20 call spread (potential for 3x looking good) QQQ Oct 180/165 put spreads (potential for 10x still a way to go) SPY Oct 285-270 put spreads (7x potential) This is a risky market now and I hope everyone trades carefully.  This is a brief note and I'll have a full note out tomorrow.  Again, thanks for all of your support. 

  • US Markets - Sentment is not oversold and market starting new 5 waves down.  
  • Hedge Fund Telemetry Trade Ideas - Took profits on half AMZN, IWM, XRT - could re add on a bounce

US Markets


Here's a link to the Hedge Fund Telemetry market sentiment page with 40 charts of sentiment including equities, bonds, currencies, and commodities updated each day.  When the new website launches we will be adding new charts and historical sentiment data for Euro Stoxx 50, UK FTSE 100, German DAX, French Cac 40.  We will be adding Japanese Bonds, German Bunds, and a few more.  
SPX bullish sentiment is at 44% and expect a deep drop today later.  


SPX daily really steep drops tend to continue.  


SPX 60 minute tactical time frame should see a bounce very soon but this is not the low to buy for anything other than a trade


This divergence really mattered  


Nasdaq bullish sentiment is at 53% - more downside ahead


NDX Index has support at 7000 but this is just the first of 5 waves down


NDX 60 minute tactical getting oversold short term but again it will likely be a short term lower high bounce


Dow Jones Industrial Average has an upside Countdown that I have been doubting would complete.  I've used DeMark for long enough to know when to fade some pending signals


Dow 60 minute tactical at the wave 3 price objective but could overshoot before the wave 4 bounce


IWM Russell 2000 is in trouble with the downside red Countdown on day 2 of 13

VIX Index

Bond ETF's


Oversold and I'm holding both the TLT and IEF long with a 2.5% weighting each

 
PPO Monitor - Percentage Price Oscillator

The PPO Monitor is a proprietary monitor developed to force rank Indexes, Sectors, and Stocks.  It ranks top down by strongest to weakest by percentage above/below the 50 day moving average.  Shorter term signals can be seen when the 10 and 20 day moving averages turn up (green) or down (red) which often are followed by the 50 day moving average.  This is useful to watch for historically overbought/oversold percentage above/below the 50 day moving average.  It is non correlated with the DeMark Indicators however we have found upside/downside exhaustion signals often occur when something rises to the top or drifts to the bottom of the monitor - increasing the timing aspect. We share this monitor with clients with Bloomberg Terminals.  An added feature is that each market/ETF can be expanded with each component force ranked in the same way.  A couple other features include price deviation from intraday VWAP (useful for intraday reversals) and new 20 day highs/lows on right side.  Please inquire if you would like to be permissioned to use the PPO Monitor.  

Today's highlights: Still more 20 day lows and now most ETF sectors are under the moving averages.  When the average of all get >5% below the 50 day then oversold readings start to show up.  Only 3.3 below now.  

 
Bloomberg Automated Technical Pattern Recognition Screens


S&P 500 Members/Absolute Price Performance and Relative Price Performance vs S&P 500 and Sector ETF's.  ETF's vs Index Sectors.  Pair Trades.  Long side  is first symbol, short side is second symbol.  If you want a PDF from Bloomberg that explains this strategy, please email us.  We are going to do a webinar in the next two weeks with the Bloomberg analyst who created this strategy.  

 
 
DEMARK SCREENS - Daily, Weekly, Monthly Upside/Downside Exhaustion Signals

Daily/Weekly DeMark upside/downside exhaustion signals (Sequential)  updated daily, Weekly signals on Monday's and monthly on the first day of the new month.  Price flips occur when a stock closes higher/lower than four previous closes and increases conviction of a price turn.

The upside 13's are sell signals and downside 13's are buy signals.  Price flip's are confirmation signals that increases potential for a price trend change. For example, if you are long a stock and there is an upside 13, you will want to take cautious action by selling down or out of a position.  If initiating a short sale with the upside 13's, we tend to start with a 1/2 size and add with the downside price flip.  The opposite is true for when there are downside 13's.  Take a 1/2 size position and add with the upside price flip.  The DeMark Indicators are designed to assist the user with buying into weakness and selling into strength to anticipate trend exhaustion. Selling into a rally and buying into a decline often afford the opportunity to exit a trade without too serious a loss if wrong.
