Good morning, I will be sending out a post today on The Week Ahead along with my Intermarket analysis charts after returning from out of town to celebrate my mother’s 70th. Since my computer tech will be working on my Internet and computer systems, and I have a 2:30 doctor appointment, it makes for a […]

UPDATE: Zeke and I have discovered some issues to the integration of my Live Portfolios with Live Market Data and Live Trade Alerts that prompt further testing. These items are not insurmountable but need to be addressed before re-launching. And need to be addressed during market hours when there is actual live options data to […]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! As I have mentioned in my live trading room and in my recent post, I will be on holiday in Europe the next two weeks visiting my daughters who attend college there. Archna will manage my open trades (especially those expiring this week) – thank you Archna – but otherwise I plan to […]

Sorry ’bout that. Stepped away during break and came back to darkness. I’m here until ZIV tags $61 + SPX tags $2571 or 3PM ET which ever comes first!! Then I”m on a jet plane to Europe starting Sunday for TWO WHOLE WEEKS but you know I will be checking in a little although closing […]

Still Sick. With end of month today, we will soon see if Bulls come in Monday (mutual fund Monday). Clearly Big Money is on the sidelines. We’re very oversold in the heart of Santa/Jan Effect. If it wasn’t for Jan 1st China Tariffs/Trade War + Oil <$50, Longs would be giddy from Political Gridlock, a […]

Trading room is closed today but I will catch up on reconciling my portfolios from being away and working with Zeke on linking them to live market data so I don’t have to reconcile ever again as they will update and trigger automatically! That’s the goal – still have to make it work… I also […]

I will be traveling Wednesday through Sunday of Thanksgiving week and have decided to close the Trading Room Monday and Tuesday as well so I can work through operation-related projects with my developer – including the incorporation of real-time market data into LaDucTrading’s Live Portfolios. I will be at my computer Monday and Tuesday so […]

I have some appointments this afternoon so will not be back after lunch break to Trade The Close, which I suspect could be a fade, perhaps strongly given what happened to Oil after the 10:30 oil inventory report. With that, the panic buying all morning in the Momentum software application plays like TWLO was ala […]

As I mentioned in the room this week, I have floors getting refinished today through the weekend. It will be noisy so pets and I are vacating for the first half of the day. I can still send out some thoughts (recap from Karen yesterday) and maybe a few trades but it will be light […]

I forgot to mention in the trading room today that I would be away from my (Home) Office at meetings 10-2 so I will post market thoughts/trades as I see them before and after but may not make it back in time to open the room before the close. Basically, I’m taking Columbus Day off […]

Good morning and sorry for the delay. I have a car appointment this morning (small shop and they don’t open until 8:30!). Scott and Archna will be there I’m betting! See you soon.

Trade Alert Enhancements LaDucTrading’s Trade Alerts are high-probability ideas and set ups that you can receive right to your inbox and phone! Before you can do that, however, you need to choose which Live Trade Alerts you want to follow from Samantha and her Co-Captains. Trading styles differ, so do time-frames and risk tolerances. That’s why Samantha […]

Taking a personal day here – MY ROADMAP Careful chasing ‘long’ EM (China, EEM) as I see it as only a trade until $DXY hits $92.55 then I plan to short $EEM again. My Long Gold Miners Call is for a trade to there as well. $GDX USD will be at major inflection point then. […]

Not by choice! My town, and neighboring towns, have experienced a rather major gas leak and house fires that you have probably heard about on national news… Well this has prompted the state to shut down power in the entirety of all three towns. They have also canceled school tomorrow already, so I am guessing […]
