While the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader focuses on investment over a one week to six-month time frame, Mad Day Trader, provided by Jim Parker, will exploit money-making opportunities over a brief ten minute to three day window. It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.
Nasd 100... is key. resting sell stops are @ 3668.50.Closing below this level will be price negative and very bullish bonds.
TLT...looks headed towards 110 with a confirmation today from the "USAH" 30 yr. Bond Futures over it's 200 day mvg avg of 133.20 .
OIL...I want to sell @ 102.85 today. I'm looking for today to be the high for a while.
This level would have to trade and reject quickly for at least 80 cents to confirm the level. (Print 102.85 and then break through 102)
This is a trade for pros only, since it is a trade that has to be managed.
For a pro trader you'd have to try the level with a 30 cent stop and then look to re sell if proven wrong.
On an inventory day there is always the outlier that we can get closer to 105 before topping, however I am looking for today to be a high for a while.
Soybeans...14.45 is my high level for the qtr.
In the medium term view 1/2/14
I had stated the beans were in a 2 dollar range from 12.40 - 14.45.
Gold...sell any rally close to 1340 with a stop over the high. April is now front month.
The spread is nominal. Continue to use the the macro (G) Feb #'s going forward.
Bunds...144.57 is a potential double top.
Be very careful where you trade the Euro.
136.50-25 is a support zone.
This is an exit area the first time down.
