All you can do is shake your head and wonder what real markets would trade
like … today’s CPI print creating a gigantic clusterfark of pain and agony in the
DOW30, for first shorts, then at the criminal NYSE open it’s time to take the longs
to the cleaners … not a pretty picture, but what do you expect from the world’s
biggest criminals? … these large moves are not only eye watering, they literally
blow the shit out of the order book and skew it forward … and when they’re done,
orders are absent and there’s nothing there … well, besides the pain.
And all of the hoopla over a CPI print that’s mostly bullshit from the math whiz
kids at the Department of Unicorns & Fairy Tales, leads to a massive 1000 point
rally followed by almost a 1000 point decline [so far … could get a lot worse]
… it’s been a very long time since I’ve seen this kind of price destruction off of
“good news”, and quite frankly I can’t remember the last time we saw the
DOW30 UP 1000, then a few hours later down almost 1000 … ho hum, just
another day at the office? … me thinks not.
Looking at the trading algorithm, and the rules set down in the manual, once the
DOW30 opened at 9:30 AM EST, the longer 60 period VIDYA turned “RED”, and
except for a scant few minutes so far, it’s stayed “”RED”, meaning sell pressure
on the longer term VIX structure … and that means shorts on plum turns to
yellow … and BINGO!, BANGO!, BOOM!, those short signals were gold bars
… as I have stated before, taking scalp signals [yellow to plum] when the longer
VIDYA is “RED” is very risky, especially in the “Stock Bellies” and USDJPY
… why? … cuz the red spikes from Hell down are fast and vicious and take away
multiple minutes of gains in seconds … turning things around, I’m only
interested in getting long [anything, FX or “Stock Bellies”] when the longer term
60 period VIDYA is ‘LIME GREEN”, and then the short term 10 PERIOD VIDYA
turns from yellow to plum … stick to these parameters and back the Brinks
truck up
Today’s action in the DOW30 is very disappointing, not cuz I give a crap about
where it goes, but cuz it gives very few if any signals after large moves … today’s
action saw the trading algorithm save our collective donkey, cuz I was waiting
for a turnaround rally after the first couple of dips … dips that kept dipping and
the algorithm NEVER turned to buy mode … and down, down, down it went,
taking longs to the cleaners in very fast order … and if you look at the red spikes
down, many of them came after short rally bursts that died on the vine … minutes
of up action wiped out in seconds … and that’s what happens when 60 period
VIDYA is “RED”, and has a sizeable negative slope.
I’m really surprised at the length and scope of 1) the burst higher in the CPI rally,
and then 2) the ugly “Thelma & Louise” crash that came next … now onto the
FED tomorrow for more bullshit … buckle your seatbelts … No trades today for
the PAMM cuz we got ZERO buy signals once the market opened … yes, I’m
surprised … call me somewhat shocked is more like it
… no worries, onto tomorrow.
… OUTTA HERE … “The future’s so bright I need 2 pairs of sunglasses 😎😎,
and my own Brinks armored truck” 💓!! … Onward & Upward!!
