Today I had a 2 hour private
session with a favorite TradeStation
student of mine. We hadn't visited in quite some time, and we got to
talking about my Dynamic Moving Average Indicator, and how it might work
on other markets than the indexes. He said, "How about
Corn?" Well, frankly, I was a little unnerved, because I had
never looked at a chart of Corn futures. At least I knew the symbol
was C, however, so I was able to bring up the chart. He asked,
"How would your system do on this chart?" Again, I was a
bit agitated, but I dutifully put up the system on the Corn chart.
We brought up the System Performance summary, and miracle of miracles, it
made money. Whew! Not only that, it had a Percent Profitable
of 60%, a Ratio of 2.86 and a Profit Factor of 4.29. Multiply all
those numbers together and you get my CPC Index™, which is equal to an
astonishing 7.36! And, it made $165,000 profit in a year and a half.
Those of you who don't know what my CPC Index™ is need to do one of two things: (1) read my book, "Trading 102--Getting Down to Business", or (2) take my seminar in January. Anyway, this is an astonishing result, because I usually say that you can't trade a system unless the CPC Index is greater than 1.2. And, 7.36 is well beyond 1.2! So, just for fun, take a look at a chart of Corn, and see what you think. INVESTORS Looking at the long-term view, today's market action still did not get out beyond the long-term trendline you'll see on the Weekly chart below. That's of a little concern, it you are considering a long position, so beware. Once it crosses that trendline, it should shoot straight for the next trendline, which is currently lying at about 1139, where there is also an Attractor. The overlapping cycles are still carrying the markets upward, at least for a few more days, until we get to the little red arrow I have drawn on the chart below. That would be the crest of the inner cycle and should exert some downward pressure--even at the same time the larger cycle is still moving upward. The result should be some sideways movement for a little while as the smaller cycle moves downward. TRADERS My model is long QQQ from 11/20 8:00am (see Figure 1 above). However, the 15-minute chart in Figure 1 above shows divergence on the RSI, and that is worrisome. Logically it would be about time for a little corrective action, as the market usually doesn't put in more than 3 days of strong upward movement in a row. Today we just zoomed past the 26.89 resistance, which is usually how we get through resistance. I hardly ever see a meandering waltz through resistance. So, now 26.89 on the QQQs has been broken, and in the table at the top you will see a new Attractor for each index. My Dynamic Average on the 15-minute chart is riding right on top of itself, and on any negative price movement will go into a sell signal tomorrow. Be nimble, and take profits when you see them. So far it looks like we have a sideways (time) corrective 4th wave in the making, which may or may not go down far enough to produce profits before the 5 wave comes in. ALSO, notice below that some of the stock picks have been triggered. I exit on Friday if there's a profit, and pick new stocks on Sunday night. Sometimes the same ones qualify again, sometimes not. Many happy returns! And, stay nimble. |
