Stocks (ES futures, above) have settled into a range, as trade has become quite slow. We broke below the 1100 area mentioned this morning, but since have consolidated just above that . Small cap stocks are once again underperforming large caps, and we're seeing weakness in oil; the dollar vs. ...

One frequent experience I've had as a writer is to begin writing about a topic and then discovering new ideas about the topic that I hadn't intended to include in my article or book. It's as if the writing became a kind of brainstorming, helping me arrive at insights that otherwise would have ...

Pre-opening GDP and housing numbers did not move the market significantly, and we remain in the multi-week range (ES futures, above). The area around ES 1100 level has been important support this morning and has been a significant level during the multi-week range. We need to hold above that ...

The first post in this series highlighted the link between frustration and loss of discipline in trading. Stated in a different way, lapses of discipline tend to be state-dependent: we enter a frustrated, angry, confused, or discouraged state and that colors how we process and act upon ...

Here we can see a broad trading range in the S&P 500 e-mini (ES) futures (top chart) and in the euro (bottom chart). A look at commodities (DBC, for example) shows similar rangebound action. I noticed that we made a little over 1000 new 20-day highs across the NYSE, NASDAQ, and ASE; ...

What started out looking like a trend day to the upside in stocks (top chart) faded out, as the dollar strengthened vs the euro (bottom chart) and Aussie dollar and commodities beat a hasty retreat. Interestingly, however, we still have over 1500 more advancing stocks than decliners, as ...

A while back, I wrote on the topic of steps to take to break patterns of frustration in trading and suggested resources for traders who find that frustration is interfering with their trading. Much of what is viewed as a loss of discipline is actually the result of impulsive decision-making ...

The purple horizontal lines show some of the price levels I'm focused on this morning in the S&P 500 e-mini (ES) futures. We broke above the 1095 resistance area overnight on good volume and momentum, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and stronger commodity prices. After some ...

Adam Warner has an excellent post up illustrating the volatility assumptions of $VIX and $VXX. To summarize in Adam's words: "longer term volatility assumptions just keep eroding." With a holiday period around the corner, followed by a holiday period next month, traders begin to pack it in ...

After once again topping out ahead of price--a common pattern--my short-term measure of market momentum (bottom chart) has moved to neutral territory, but is above the levels that have been recently associated with market bottoms. We're also seeing new 20-day lows among NYSE, NASDAQ, and ...

Last week's sector review noted strength among large
cap stocks, but weakness within specific sectors and among
small caps. This past week failed to see a broadening of the market rally, and we moved lower as the week progressed. That left the ...

If you take a look at my recent post on the CBOE equity put/call ratio , you'll get a sense for what an average ratio has looked like lately. Those ratios, however, can also be informative on an intraday basis . Here we see Friday's trade in the S&P 500 Index (SPY; blue line) plotted ...

Here is the day's trade in the ES futures, with each bar representing 50,000 contracts traded. I find this to be a useful perspective on markets for several reasons: 1) The bars draw faster in busy market periods and slower in low volume periods. Because I look for trade ideas by comparing ...

Here's an update to this morning's chart. You can see that we've neither taken out the overnight lows nor sustained an upmove into yesterday's range. Rather, we're trading within the overnight range as trade slows down ahead of a holiday. A nice tell that we'd have trouble sustaining the ...

In overnight trade we've broken below yesterday's lows in both the ES (top chart) and euro (bottom chart) futures. In a valid breakout, we should not re-enter the prior trading range with any meaningful volume. This morning, I'm watching to see if yesterday's support becomes resistance for ...
