On Monday my M3 indicator went to a buy and we went long. Close to 200 ES points since then. What an insane bull run has this been. Lockout type of rally.
Grabbed around 120 pts ES on that short trade and now M3 is back on buy. I don't have much confidence in this buy since bunch of my other indicators are not supportive. But maybe we can bounce for a bit. June has been the best month for me in a while with 380 ES points total. All trades posted live in Smart Money Room at EWT.
Last update I spoke about a top of some significance soon. May have gotten it with my M3 going to a sell yesterday. We took a full size short trade in the room yesterday at the close. Stops set and risk managed.
Getting the gap higher on the news. This is where things get difficult. I do think we have a top of some significance coming very soon. Maybe as early as this week/early next. Watching the 4 hour chart and my system for clues.
Here is the M3 buy signal as of now. It has been a very tough mkt with constant news bombs. Something 'slow and stable' like the M3 has been very useful to anchor oneself in this turbulence.
M3 buy & my bounce expectation has been satisfied atleast minimally. But I've learnt not to underestimate bulls. Best just go with my signals which hv been stellar on my sys. We picked longs in 7270s. Up 160 pts. I think there's more but mayb mid nxt wk exit & another pullback
If I have to guess, we bounce for a bit and then maybe look for lower lows. But I do not have a strong bias right now in either direction. Just going with the flow and doing what my system tells me to do.
Crazy 1 month since my last update. Micro3 had a couple of whipsaws but we still caught a really nice 180 point ES trade on the short side. Now back on buy M3.
Warning signs in breadth and weak internals mentioned yesterday showing their influence on price action today. And breadth continues to get weaker today. Odds for a tradeable top of some sort is increasing. Maybe a few days of backing and filling first.
@Dante_D87 That's fair. I have no way of knowing for sure because system degradation is a real thing. However I can say with 100% surety that there is no curve fitting in this model. What you see right now is exactly what was there in 2022/23. Every yr did good except 24 which was flat.
Tough periods in the mkt exposes flaws in system design. Feb/Mar was no different. Happy because it forced me to do some extensive rework on my system & I'm pleased with my latest model. Trading simulator with backtest data : https://t.co/r4CsLUKNd1. Model long since 7100 ES.
The GDX Razz Model which uses option open interest to derive timing on the precious metals miners index. Low was projected for last week. And a high for next week. We took 2 trades in GDX in the service worth 7.6% and 5.7% within the last week.
