Trading Plans for MON. 09/25 - Market Bull Exhausted?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for MON. 09/25
As our daily trading plans reinforced before the FOMC meeting stated: "...any indications of the Fed potentially pivoting to "being done" can spark a frenzied rally in the coming weeks but any unexpectedly hawkish indications could further accelerate the downward push. Nobody has the crystal ball that can tell which way this could go until after the FOMC meeting". The unexpectedly hawkish Fed stance drove the markets down and continuing to push it lower.
Our published trading plans on Friday, 09/15 stated: "Models continue to indicate that the index has to close above 4507 on a daily close basis to flip to a bullish bias. Between 4460 and 4507, models indicate an indeterminate bias". This week's 4505 level could be the top for the near term. A daily close above 4404 is needed for our models to turn bullish again.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4354, 4332, 4324, 4315, or 4304 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4350, 4329, 4321, or 4302 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4313. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:01am EST or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.
