Abbreviated Factor Update, March 8 2024

Greetings Factor Members

 
I am headed to Mexico for a family vacation and will NOT pursue any new trades next week. I am now totally flat in the Factor Prop Account except for exposure to Gold (futures and GLD-etf).
 
Gold will be a white-knuckle trade, meaning that I am not jamming stops even though I will be traveling. The Factor Prop Account’s position in Gold has an initial risk <70 BPs and this is what I am willing to lose on the trade.

The public is NOT aboard this move in Gold. A report released by the World Gold Council this past week indicated that investors have exited Gold etfs in unprecedented numbers. https://www.gold.org/

I will be interested in Silver etfs, but not until nearby futures can get above 27.20 or so.

There is a possible H&S pattern developing on the weekly Canadian Dollar chart. I will be watching this in the weeks/months ahead.

I would love to see a right shoulder dip in Canola to set up a H&S bottom in Rapeseed. The COT data is screaming “buy.”

If I were planning to be around next week I would focus on finding a low-risk spot to buy Soybeans. There is not an area pattern, but I believe a short squeeze sharp rally will occur.

MSFT is setting up for a H&S failure buy signal. I will monitor developments in this stock.

Factor Update, September

/by

This past week (especially Friday) was one of the craziest weeks I have experienced as a trader. It was a week when it seemed nothing worked – and that the markets were consciously attempting to make me feel like an idiot. Several positions were stopped-out on Friday only to have the markets reverse back into the direction of the stopped trades.

General commentary: The goal is to be completely flat two weeks from today. With this time horizon, I am not eager to trade. I posted a number of charts on our private twitter this past week for educational value only. It has been 36 years (older than many of you) since I was completely flat in futures trading for an extended period. It won’t be until the end of May when I reconnect with the markets – with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

Fractals 101: The entire concept of classical charting is based on fractals – that patterns have the tendency to reappear in across time, different asset classes and different time frames. Here is an exceptional example of a similar chart construction in different time frames in the same market – Bitcoin…
