Some News You Can Use! 1. Trading room will be closed on Tuesday! If you have a day pass you need extended, please email [email protected]. 2. I will be working with Steve Charros (remember Quant guy?- well he is back – details to follow) to get trade alerts moving again! 3. Archna runs her live […]
Zeke is taking the next few days to diagnose and repair the problems that have appeared this week since re-launching the Trade Alerts. For example, a position size in a small AMZN chase turned into a big error when it automatically populated 3+ times the entered position size. Or the GILD financed call spread that […]
I will be giving an interview tomorrow morning on ForexAnalytical and then working on a project through Monday that will require me to close my trading room for these two days. As I mentioned in my trading room this morning, The Big Risk and very real risk is that the stock market closes. I am […]
This would be funny if it wasn’t. The good news: Zeke got the trading room access link working again – and hopefully this doesn’t happen again tomorrow as he is traveling. The bad news: my cat Stella jumped up on my desk and accidentally knocked over my full glass of water on my keyboard which […]
Opened my trading room this morning but noticed nobody showed up so when I checked the Live Trading Room Access Link it says “Room is Closed” which isn’t my intention, so clearly I’m having some technical difficulties and Zeke (aka Tech Support) is trying to diagnose/repair while at an airport. He is working on it […]
Greetings and Happy Friday, As I mentioned in my trading room a bit ago, I am closing early today for a dentist appointment and then hitting the road for the weekend. I just published my thoughts on the case for higher yields this Q1 – the When, Where and Why. It’s timely given how low […]
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving break. I want to apologize for being quiet/inactive. My beloved pet, Moe, of 13 years is dying and it has taken my focus. I am flying one of my daughters home from Europe (they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving abroad so she wasn’t here last week to say goodbye). I will […]
My live trading room will be closed Friday. But my new Trailing Stop feature of my Brokerage-Triggered Trade Alerts will go live so I can get back to actively trading and running the room on Monday. Samantha
With an interest rate decision out at 2:00 PM EST and press conference at 2:30, the market will be dead until the Fed, so I am not having my usual 9AM open for my Trading Room, but will start at 1:30 PM and likely keep going until after AAPL reports at 4:30 ET. See ya […]
Eventful day, too, with NFP at 8:30 AM then US Trade Balance print and Powell speaks at some point. Yes we bounced strongly off that SPX 2875 level given Thursday, but the 200 day is now a magnet and that’s where I expect we will be sooner rather than later. Trade safe and talk to […]
Greetings and welcome to FOMC Day. Typically the market is sanguine leading up into the FOMC minutes and press conference, so I will close the trading room this morning and open up this afternoon in time to navigate the market reaction to the Fed rate decision and Powell’s response to questions on what went bump […]
It’s the Friday before Labor Day weekend and markets are rising on hope (and end of month rebalancing) into expected trade talks between Trump and Xi today – right before the long Labor Day weekend. Keep in mind Monday is Labor Day and markets are closed. Tariffs go into effect, or they don’t, September 1, […]
Markets, as of close today, had retraced the entire drop from Sunday night. It was not an easy bounce to play and I said I found the move to be more technical in nature than fundamental and as such hold it with suspicion. After the close, we got more Huawei news and Yuan currency moves […]
A new month brings NFP Friday and Trump has an announcement at 1:45ET on EU tariffs. I want to get my arms around market reaction and put on some new positions before my 11:00 call.
