Emini Futures Trading Update- 01Aug2016

This is an actual email sent to subscribers on August 1, 2016.

Hello Folks, the futures are currently at 2163.
The S&P500 has been facing profit booking, but the upmove can start again
if corporate earnings play out well. The US Fed interest rate hikes are
now not seen become October, so that is a comfort factor for the market.

The base case for S&P500 index is to move higher towards target 2200.
But August has been volatile in recent years, bringing different reasons
every time. So we must be cautious. Downsides can emerge out of nowhere
and in such a case, long unwinding can rapidly take the S&P500 index back
to 2000-2050 levels. Continue reading

Emini Futures Trading Update- 06July2016

Following is our email sent to subscribers on July 6, 2016.

Hello Folks, the futures are currently at 2086. They have recovered nicely from day low of 2066. However, selling pressure is visible on daily charts, and today’s lower level buying may not hold if fresh round of selling comes. At the same time, the V-shape recovery from lower levels after Brexit is impressive. It is possible that 2100 on futures will get tested again.

——————————————–
Please note our Emini Futures Trading Strategy for this July month: The 2053 number in futures is still intact as the dividing line for positional long and short trades. Below 2053, we start a short trade with 2063 as stop. Above 2053, we start a long trade with 2043 as stop.
——————————————–

* Traders with 1-2 contracts: There is no trade as of now for you.
* Traders with 5-10 contracts: You may buy 1-2 contracts at 2086 for target 2096, with Stop 2076. This tactical trade can play out by Friday. Thanks.

Emini Futures Trading Update – 30June2016

Hello Folks, the futures are currently at 2088.
Our Trade#6 has its target of 2083 today afternoon, and therefore, this trade is closed, along with month-end today. We will start new set of trades from tomorrow, 1st July.

The v-shape recovery after Brexit reminds me of the v-shape recovery after the first Grexit news flow in 2011 and then the S&P500 went up further after emphatic bounce back. If S&P500 index goes above 2100 again, then we will see new highs in the coming weeks and 2250 will be our target.

Just like we have a standing trade, to go long above 2053, we will have a new standing trade above 2135, which will ensure that we are benefiting from the upmove. I will give the exact details of this trade once S&P500 index is at 2120 and nearing the previous highs. Thanks.

[Positional Trade Update]: Traders with multiple contracts who went long above 2053 (our automatic long trade), can now close their long positions today/tomorrow around 2083-2093 (current levels), and take out the 30-40 points profits. We will plan new positional trade for July from tomorrow. Thanks.

Wishing good luck and fortune to every sincere and disciplined Emini Futures trader out there. Thanks for visiting our website.

Emini Futures Trading Update – 13Apr2016

Wednesday, April 13, 2016, 9.45am, New York – Hello Folks, the futures are currently at 2069. For Trade#2 of April, our target of 2067 has been hit successfully today morning. I was expecting it to come by Friday as mentioned in the email last evening. But the momentum is strong and our target got hit today morning itself. This completes Trade#2, with 28 points gain from.

Trade#2 of April 2016 (completed)
------------------------------------
Buy at: 2039
Target: 2067 (hit on April 13, 2016)
Stop: 2030
------------------------------------

This trade has moved fast, and its good we took this immediately after our Stop Loss on Trade#1. We will wait for the index to take a breather after the hectic 40 point upmove from 2030 to 2070 in the last 2 days since Monday morning, and then decide our next trade.

[Emini Futures Trading Strategy] The S&P500 has strong resistance at 2075-2080 level, which translates to about 2070-2073 levels on the SPX/ES futures. However, the S&P500 index is in positive buy zone above 2058, which translates to about 2050 level of the futures. If the S&P500 index goes below 2000 for any reason, all longs must be closed. Of course we will be having predefined Stops much above 2000 level.

[Bonus Trade] Large Traders with 5-10 contracts: You may Sell 2-3 contracts at 2068, for Target 2058, and Stop 2075. This is a tactical trade that aims to benefit from the inevitable profit booking that may come today or tomorrow. Thanks & Best Wishes.

Technical Analysis of S&P500 Index Futures

RSI Indicator: RSI is in neutral territory. (RSI is at 60.57). This indicator issues buy signals when the RSI line dips below the bottom line into the oversold zone; a sell signal is generated when the RSI rises above the top line into the overbought zone. RSI is somewhat overbought (RSI is at 60.57). However, this by itself isn’t a strong enough indication to signal a trade. Look for additional evidence before getting bearish.

CCI Indicator: CCI (57.58) is in neutral territory. A signal is generated only when the CCI crosses above or below the neutral center region. CCI often misses the early part of a new move because of the large amount of time spent out of the market in the neutral region. Initiating signals when CCI crosses zero, rather than waiting for CCI to cross out of the neutral region can often help overcome this. Given this interpretation, CCI (57.58) is currently long. The current long position position will be reversed when the CCI crosses below zero. Continue reading
