"The Sunny Side of the Street"

THURSDAY NIGHT--12/12/2002:

Figure 1 - Daily INDU

I'm running out of words.  What more can I say about a sideways do-nothing market?  The longer it drifts sideways, locked in this little channel the more likely it is to break out with force.

symbol  close upper Attractor lower Attractor
INDU 8538.40 9500 8450
QQQ 25.87 33.23 20.60

The QQQs moved a whole 0.07 point from yesterday's close.  Whoopee! We are locked in at the Attractor that is sitting at 25.40.  On the Dow we had yet another day that was inside the range of the bar I have been watching from 4 days ago.  If that's not congestion, I don't know what is.

Again today I sat on the sidelines, waiting to see whether the QQQs would break either boundary that I set last night.  The same boundaries still apply.  I'm still going to sit on the sidelines until we have some sort of breakout.  This choppy stuff isn't worth playing with.  On the QQQs I would want to see a breakout below 25.40 to go short, or above 26.20 to go long.  On the Dow we would have to break above 8621 or below 8516.  On the SPX we would need to break above 912.80 or below 897.65.  If any of those things happens, I might believe we are about to make a considered move.  Until that time, we're just channel trading, and in a narrow channel at that.

BRING A FRIEND AND GET 1 MONTH FOR FREE.  For each person you refer to The Sunny Side of the Street (and who subscribes) I will give you a free month on your personal subscription.  This is a word of mouth business, and I need your help to spread the word.  If you tell a friend, just email me his name/email address, and if he/she subscribes you will get the credit, and a warm welcome thanks from me.

RSI continues to drift along meaninglessly right in the middle of the road, neither bullish nor bearish.  On the 15-minute chart of the QQQs you can see the narrow channel that we are staying within. (Figure 2)  Price touches the top Sunny_Band, and then goes back and touches the bottom band, then it turns around and touches the top band again, and the march goes on.  As soon as this tedium gets too boring and enough people lose interest, the market will make a big move.  Up or down?  At this juncture it looks like down first followed by a bounce off the lower Attractor, but all the evidence is not yet in.

Tomorrow I'm going to continue writing on my "TradeStation Made Easy" book and ignore the markets unless price breaks the upper or the lower boundary.  I have alarms set so that bells go off when the lines are touched, so I don't even have to look at the screen.  And in the meantime I will continue looking for some other instrument that is moving -- by that I mean has a high PHW.

I'LL MAKE YOU ANOTHER OFFER.  Send a friend my way for one of the upcoming seminars, and I'll give you $250 cash.  Take your loved on to a nice dinner out on me.

I think what is most likely next is still for the markets to correct down to the lower bands, and then take another surprise bounce upward, so be quick, be nimble, and always keep your respect for the markets--it's a risky business.  And remember, we don't have to trade just because the market is open.  Sometimes there are no trades worth taking.  It's better to sit on the sidelines that to be giving money to the market!

 

   Don't miss it--Sunny only gives a few trading seminars each year.  She calls them "Solving the Puzzle" because she puts all the pieces together into one cohesive plan for you to become a better traderMake it your business!  Enroll Now--she only takes 15 students. January 17-19, 2003.  AND..to match Larry Williams' offer, on Friday we will be trading real-time, with real money.  I will split the winnings with the class, and if there are losses I'll keep them for myself.  Just think...the seminar could be free!

Actual dollar and percentage gains/losses experienced by investors would depend on many factors not accounted for in these hypothetical statistics, including, but not limited to, starting account balances, market behavior, incidence of split fills and other variations in order execution, and the duration and extent of individual investor participation in the specified system. Fees, commissions, and other expenses are not accounted for herein, and will affect investors net results in actual trading. While the information and statistics given are believed to be complete and accurate, given the hypothetical specifications, we cannot guarantee their completeness or accuracy.

These results are not indicative of, and have no bearing on, any individual results that may be attained by the trading system in the future. PAST OR HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

The CFTC requires the following disclosure statement in reference to hypothetical results:
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.

These trading systems, like any other, may involve an inappropriate level of risk for prospective investors. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. Prior to purchasing a trading system from this or any other system vendor or investing in a trading system with a registered commodity trading representative, investors need to carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for them in light of their own specific financial condition. In some cases, futures accounts are subject to substantial charges for commission, management, incentive or advisory fees. It may be necessary for accounts subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets. In addition, one should carefully study the accompanying prospectus, account forms, disclosure documents and/or risk disclosure statements required by the CFTC or NFA, which are provided directly by the system vendor and/or CTA's.
