Short term and long term

2011-11-10T14:12:00.000-06:00

Hello

This blog was started as an experiment to work on micro minute day trading timing. We never meant to analyse medium or longer term view.

After stopping work on this blog we tested all time frames and all key commodities and sub-sectors.
I do not think it is worthy to provide trade forecast or indicators on a public blog.
Yet at times to give the reader a helping hand, will add KEY directional changes for swing or short term traders. Sometimes these trend changes can work for 3 days to 3 weeks.

The blog would be published time to time when the trend is about to change. So if you would like to put intelligent comments that make sense do that if not you could also share your views if any.
Major changes are waiting to happen on medium to long term but its pointless to waste time for nowas our main target is short term real time trading.

Timing starting from Nov 11th

Trend will begin to change at EU open on 11th Morning for equities and Euro.

Gold : Trend will change Monday 14th.

Critical week for the market

2010-12-07T14:14:00.002-06:00

It is too early to short and too late to go long.

Most every asset is over bought.
This week the market will turn either side, subject to so many variables.
Whatever the scene there may be a final turn or reversal around 10th of Dec.

For now going short unless clear indicators on a particular asset can be risky.
For going long its even riskier. Stay cash and wait.
Do you have any thing to share?

Last 6 weeks of the year Extreme volatility

2010-11-23T19:49:00.004-06:00

As we stated already and we all already know that from Sept 1st the market has not been the regular market because there is an excess amount of unnatural "market" of which it is pointless to discuss anymore or speculate. The best one can do is follow the trend, ride the wave, even though the waves may be pretty short or rather broken waves.

It is hard to predict for now but we can talk about periodic or minor trends of day or the week. The ideal is to follow the daily or 60m charts and program very short term trading.
Some days can be so treacherous that it is even harder for a day trader to sustain any successful setups. So best is to remain on sidelines or just do some speculatory overnight or day trades.

For now just quick glance. We see 29th, 1st Dec, 6th and 7th Very volatile or subject to previous days. Rest of the days for now are shaky or some what positive. Frankly it would be wiser to close any longs on Friday high of the day.
Then be watchful one Dec 1st. It can be slightly treacherous. Overall on a very wider view It will be wise to be careful on your long positions from 29th Nov till 8th Dec. From 9th Dec we expect a more stable wave.

Obviously Equities, indexes, Silver and some other commodities are running inverse to USD but not all and Gold may have its own path. Will try to post more specific closer look at the coming days on this blog which will be added as addendum. Kindly post any comment if any or your questions, answers or suggestions for other passing traders.

In all above we are factoring the coming shocking news around FIRST week of DEC. Unless some timely intervention major trouble may come from the UK and EU and also from China. Keep a watch on News on BANKS in EU from next week.

Will try to add some more later

Dec 2

Astral factors show the same trend to continue till 22nd Dec except 4 or 5 down days but the down could be steep if any. Since there are so many State interventions these markets are not following natural patterns so reversals can be sudden. If it was a natural market the market would reverse around Dec 9th.

A study of EUR shows the trend reversal imminent for next 3 weeks.

Gold : Reaching at a critical level. Any new moves would be very related to news.

The advantage of using your signature or login is that you can own your comments and may delete or amend if needed. All are welcome.

I hope to give for some days some not fuzzy clear signals. PLEASE focus on being very nimble in trading and not hold very long term. Short term positions just in time are only way to survive. Of course you can follow the trend that began on Sept 1 but being an unnatural trend its demise or reversal can not be foreseen by anyone. If you are losing money close or reverse your positions.

If you are merely wasting your time thinking and talking of market without focusing on your own performance, your chance of success is dimmer.

If you want to make money let us discuss and do not follow too many ideas or people. Focus and concentrate on a few set of ideas and indicators and you will succeed. Hey I am not saying it to you only but to me myself, Reza and all my friends. Stop LOSING YOUR MONEY!! Will you?

Is October going to be different than September?

2010-10-08T15:50:00.005-05:00

There were as any regular market watcher could see, signs in last few days of Aug. for a change of action and the rally of first few days of Sept was justified.

After running a continual study for quite some time we can say that it is very easy to detect when there is excessive manipulation in the regular natural flow of markets. It is like healing naturally or forcing the body to ingest chemicals that body may not even digest or react to. The healing will still be done naturally but inducing of chemicals sends a positive note to patient's mind and he probably responds to the chemicals too as a reaction.

Markets are a collective effort and despite all all collective ideas or projects be they peaceful or bringing fanatic ideas about, follow a natural course. When the course is deviated, there is always a sequence that must follow the natural course too, albeit at a cost at times higher if the natural course was adapted.

We can call it quantitative easing, remedial actions or whatever fancy names. Most predictive sciences and including fundamental or technical analysis fails when there is an un-natural action for a consistently long period of time.
Most of us know well the causes and circumstances. We are passing through a slightly delicate time of consolidation as the economy transits from one level to another. While China and a few other players are doing great the longer term, US will prevail by all means. Despite the gloomiest aspects and news all around us, and despite the potential of some critical period ahead, the USA will once again dominate as new technologies will change the scene completely. That is on a slightly longer term period.

Reverting to the stock market and commodities and the USD and several key currencies all moves are related to a few actions that are calculated and they become catalyst to change the course of market.

This is the reason I did not post any blog during these days for it is not worth. Sept was one of the most bullish months by now we all know. October is not going to be very different even though there has to be 2 corrections but they may be minor or steep it will depend on many factors.

The best course of action is to play as per the technicals. I can tell you that I only see a reversal in USD course around after 3rd week of Oct.
Some commodities may change or reverse their course from Monday Oct 11 but the key changes may be expected around between 21st and 25th.
If there are any traders reading we can discuss the course of next 3/4 weeks.
The momentum of Sept for now should follow for coming weeks. Now what happens from 2nd week of Nov may be something wild about which we could talk in a short while.

Hope you can follow the technical charts and keep stop losses on any positions. Going short only makes sense when the indicators are absolutely certain.
Few good people I know who trade regularly are engaged in day trades or very brief swing trades. I am not trading for past few months for now.
If there is need or demand I can post at times day's key hours for day traders.

Are these markets really run by humans?

2010-09-07T11:26:00.003-05:00

Dear Friends

Apologize for the long delay in posting back. I will be posting or rather editing and adding some stuff later on on this blog. Hope you were able to follow the markets and ride the waves. As you could see Aug was more or less sluggish. But in July and early Sept there was a heavy technical trading momentum which is strengthened by following:
A. High Frequency advanced trading run by computing scripts
B. Heavy institutional buying for longer or shorter term terms
C. Short covering
D. Day trading community doing short swings

Will be back shortly with some projections.

+ SEPT 21 2010

The amazing but a real rally planted for Sept. has been successful. Whether it is plotted, planted or twisted the reality is that markets have been turned around. Obviously there were clear signs of a bearish Sept but if you notice the last week of August despite very little volume was not THAT weak. Then the clear formation of signs arose on last 2 days of Aug. How far the current rally could extend?
Expect a TURN AROUND of the trend for short term between today and 23rd September. The down trend will be sharp, steep, sudden and quick.
Just another preparation for another coming new trend. If you are holding longs cover them NOW. Today at about 12 CST sharp there could be some move that may continue. Wednesday may be a tricky day but expect some changes from today. I wont suggest anyone to go long from today. If you do and confident of certain issue go ahead but overall trend may change from today to Thursday.

Dear Greg

Sorry to get back late my friend. I am glad you dint trade cos markets were not really friendly. You are quite right. Please wait for the coming dip and then we could have a stage set for coming bigger rally. Sept rally was bit planted and planned and despite going contra nature trends, it succeeded by sheer volume of large institutional driven moves.

Yes, Astrology when done properly and seriously is a precise science and does work. However Indian astrology's main problem is that it focuses on individual and it is quite good but there is no innovation or research in past years as even Indians look down at it with disdain. That happens because there are lot of charlatan or fake astrologers that cause damage to astrology a pure and high discipline. Once it was considered a divine discipline as it goes beyond the material and goes much further.
I have studied astrology and continue doing it and I use it to scan health of my subject and can diagnose, see causes of any illness and using some natural healing methods we can undo any disease of body and mind. I also use astrology to look at world events and can focus or pin point any geo-economic area including financial instruments but it all requires lot of discipline, hard work, research and focus. There is absolutely no interest in today's fake material surface world in deeper sciences that go beyond the physical so all good works and research never come to light. That shows that all our human misery, suffering is self created and we are not able to fix all issues because we self create our injuries on individual and macro country level collectives.
Solutions to all problems do exist but vested interests and established "industries" wont ever let anyone expose their crooked ways hence the human suffering will continue. See for example the American and to some extent other Western medical practices which is now totally engulfed and controlled by the vast pharmaceutical companies. They will play with genetics and destroy ultimately the human race by extreme stupidity, selfishness and crude materialism and you can see the United States is the sickest country in the world today. Almost 1 in 3 persons at any given time is mentally weak, depressed and suffering in anguish, over 70% are carrying huge wastes on their bodies and literally speaking this is all staged, planned and systematically done. This is the sad karma of USA. The western world is paying for excess greed, lack of love and seeing dollar in every situation of life.
It happens because we deviate from nature.

Serious astral studies guide us to adapt the natural path and course but human in the name of growth is choosing plastic and artificial.
We can not only predict but know fully well what will happen to an individual, a company, a business, a city, country and this planet!!

Welcome to a Hot August - Caution ahead

2010-08-02T01:22:00.008-05:00

Dear Friends

While most of Europe goes on vacations from this weekend and today, we enter into a really volatile month. Focus has been to study the world events which I hate to publish but I decided to write a quick and dirty analysis on 9th July for the other blog at http://astral-guide.blogspot.com

Unfortunately many of the cities and areas have had expected events specially in Pakistan, China, Congo Zaire, Iraq, Afghanistan and few other areas like Kabul, Islamabad, Baghdad and Los Angeles mostly related to physical disasters and many related to water and fire.
I clearly indicated about North Pakistan and Islamabad. North Pakistan has had sudden and massive flooding and more than a million people have lost homes. Its government is doing nothing nor will do because it worries more about its illicit military activity and plotting terror around the world than managing its own territorry. This is a type of predictive projection that I hate and do not like to come to reality but when it does I feel pity that we will never advance because of our cynicism we do not believe that future can be read like our palm. Cant help but to lament.
The only benefit really for writing about future is to make use of these projections in a wise way. Unfortunately our media is only interested in publishing about the past but what is the use of writing what happened already. The idea is that we could write about future as close to reality as possible and people who could be affected could benefit and prepare in advance or to mitigate the losses and escape from the big disasters. I can pinpoint more and more if concerned people, cities or geo-economic areas write. I have done that in past a few times but most people and our media is ridiculously interested in sensation only.

The same goes for financial markets. The entire media talks about what happened already. Based on these stories traders and investors take decisions but that does not prepare them for future.

Now coming to the markets please know that it is not that it is a manipulative action but when the market action is diverging from the natural flows of energies, it becomes like a climbing ride to an unknown height which could also turn into a sudden slide. It becomes a bit unreliable. In these unknown unchartered waters either just follow the technicals as best as possible or use stop losses tightly or simply go cash to avoid any potential disasters.

The First ten days of August are one such period. There is an extreme energy not necessarily positive or negative but nervous one.
Like you may have read dozens of analyses from veteran market forecasters, there is indeed very hot or rather overheated time coming in this first fortnight. What could be expected? Anything.
Frankly there could be some natural catastrophe of great proportions, a danger to a key leader and a potential of a major terror attack or a big military action. If nothing happens it would be much better and wonderful but this is what natural energies are indicating for now.

I see some trouble around Persian Gulf/ Afghan hills, South China Seas and then around Koreas. North Korea may enter into a very awkward and unexpected action but if the sanity pervails and its leader is all right we may pass this time peacefully.

I was writing a brief forecast for August for North Korea to post on other blog. I find it so unusual that I post it here, even though it may not at all become relevant after all but you can never know.
NORTH KOREA Pyongyang :"The period of Aug 1 to 14th specially around 3rd Aug will be very important to watch.
This can bring about changes and impulsive actions.
Things can start happening suddenly that increase the tensions--possibly seemingly unrelated incidents and even accidents. Relationships with Neighbours can become difficult during this period as the tensions affect behavior. It is important to keep open, honest communication with significant opponents. Some impulsive action may happen which if not avoided could bring about some painful experience."

We should expect some extra ordinary event between 2nd to 22 August but more specially around 3rd to 9th and later from 15 to 24th Aug. We hope nothing really happens that can alter ways of the world but in this tumultous times any thing is possible.
Frankly during next coming periods I am expecting some economy related news from France and Germany but I have not been able to pin point its timing but whenever that happens it will impact the markets big time.

For now 2nd August could begin with an upbeat mood and could fizzle after 2/3 hours. 3rd August technically should be very negative but since 4th Aug has some extra ordinary hyper active day anything is possible on these days. For now I see 3rd Aug very negative and 4th very positive but on 4th anything is possible [and this same energy could create either a rally or sell off on 3rd], and so is on 5th and 6th.

Whatever the case overall I see it may not be good to go long from today till 9th August. If you are engaged in day trading short and quick action you could feel safer.
After 10th there is a very interesting period that could be worth working and on this one I will write shortly. So it would be wiser to save energies till 9th.

Specific Commodities : I think there could be some reversal on Soybeans futures shortly.
Will try to post on metals in next few hours additional notes.

Currencies: Despite EUR being very bullish currently I see that there is a potential that EUR and SF should reverse their current course. US Dollar Index may also reverse.

More later. Be safe and try not to risk if possible!

+ Outlook for 3rd August and 4th August Asia/Europe

Whatever the case today Asia and Europe should open negatively. It will weigh on the US markets. For now it is all very uncertain due to great confusion in low volume markets being peak of summer and Europe having very little volume.

+ Just added a comment:

Well after much research I find that there are some factors which show that markets have diverged from fundamentals or any other basis. So this being an unnatural flow nothing can be sure nor reliable. Hereon the best can be rely on some technicals.

If the markets were behaving naturally we would have a slightly difference course but this divergence leaves us in a territory where we can not project on very short term scale.

As I had commented few weeks ago that after the settlement of GS "some big" entities will play some work to recuperate their losses. This is part of that deal.
We can not call it manipulation perhaps but since it is driven by a few key market forces and there is no broad market participation we can not rely on this market. Either stay in cash or go for a few selected stocks or segments that appear to make sense.

AUG 6 2010 Energy of the Trading hours

Overnight/Overweekend long not a very good idea
Expect a very hyper active day, fast moves, activity of both directions.

Hello guys hope all is ok. Markets moved from 10th as expected after a sluggish past week.

We posted few weeks ago not to go long after 9th Aug. It will still be good to remain short or cash at least till next week.

Trading with red numbers

2010-07-16T09:05:00.005-05:00

July 16 Trading Day

We already projected and you knew it well what was in store. You can see the markets have fallen badly. Overall a very negative day for any asset except just a few commodities, stocks and currencies.

Now if the decline is steep then Monday could open high initially.

Some key hours that may have minor reversals
10.15 am CST
11.30 am CST
12.05 am CST
11.30 am CST
12.50 am CST

+ We already informed much in advance and discussed it yet skeptics do not believe it. At times when we speak of past we believe it all cos we think it may have happened but when someone speaks of future people ridicule or think this is impossible. That is the wonder of future.
Future looks always impossible and we do not believe till we literally see it.
The markets only favor those who can follow the FUTURE and not the past.
Past is all dead beat data, charts of no value. Past patterns repeat but most market watchers do not know how to fit those patterns with present or future times hence they lose and end up merely speculating.
However if we engage in multi discipline and multi dimension studies and research we can enter into future right now. It is a different realm beyond belief. BUT remember that belief is nothing but a temporary idea of things. There is no permanent belief of any kind any where. Markets are as temporary and unstable like mind, material world and its mirrors and smokes. All the illusory yet visible scene we call belief is because of the past evidence. Yet past is not the answer to "next PAST" we call future.

+ Market JUL 20 - 21

As expected the move of 20th may continue till 21st. If long be alert about 2 hours after open.

+ Many Asian markets should open with a good up gap and may remain strong.
+ European Markets may open green on July 21 too.

COMMODITIES: Some wild reversals may be seen on some metals and Agri/soft commodities from Jul 22. Will specify later.

+ July 30

Dear Friends

Thank you for your posts. I am really sorry for not being able to connect with you through this blog for certain obstacles I have had. Life is not very easy at times.
From today we do enter into a very delicate period for all world issues specially the markets for next 12/13 days literally. Hope the events of next weeks are not harsh but please do take care.

+ Expect some reversals on USD and EUR currency and a few commodities from coming trading days.

Market 14 July to 19 July

2010-07-14T14:04:00.010-05:00

At 2 pm CST or 3 PM EST there could be a last move of today which could be significant if at all.
The market move that was to happen on 14th did occur on 13th.

WHY? Please know that the move that we project for a day can happen during Frankfurt and London open and thus futures already factor that day with all or major move. Or many times the futures at EU close or just few hours before open, make all move. Pinpointing a day thus can have a slip. E.g. on the move of 11th may happened on 10th because major move happened on 9th Sunday Futures. Same way 13th carried most move during EU market. That is why day traders or over night traders can lose a lot if they do not factor this potential.

Hence I prefer a short term or swing trade based on a 2 to 4 days move. At times it is smarter to do an overnight move when very sure. In any case without risking something it is hard to gain much.

If there is no move at the close there could be some move on 15th even though 15th should be a very weak day apparently and whatever happens may not be very stable.

What I observe carefully is that the some stocks have or will reach their peak for now. 15th to 19th one could find some good shorts.

There would be a last move on 20th and 21st July which may propel the markets bit up however if you can find some shorts technically ready you could do so on 15th.

If you are very conservative and do not want to risk short around 21/22 July.
UNLESS there is a miracle or heavy duty manipulation you can short and sleep.
If you short on 15th check out on 16th before close. 19th would be a day of certain great boom and then bust perhaps but we can never know so be careful that day.

I will add more details on specific assets later.

Please see addendum and comments on all blogs as this is just an initial comment.

Countries Markets: There are many countries markets peaking and about to tumble. If you want to discuss any particular ETFs comment.

Metals: Metals are at a critical point and one must be careful before any direction entry.

Currencies : The turn around time is coming and it should happen next week. I expect USD to make a move shortly but I do not see it right now.

Shipping/Freight : As you can see Freight and shipping indices are losing their remaining support. Comment to discuss further.

INSIDERS / Manipulations: Obviously each market and each floor has some manipulation. If you think computers only run the business you are living in a paradise of fantasy.

There are interests that move certain key assets to direct the market. But we can see when there is a divergence between natural energy patterns and man made patterns. I always can detect so easily on any day or week. I get alarmed when I see manipulation and stop all.
At times a totally dead market will suddenly revive. The News is not the real factor but that is used as a mile stone or excuse.
Obviously technical charts do factor all that but there are many many factors which are not shown on technical charts and whatever may be your fundamental views, some things always appear as hidden or unseen.

What is done behind the scenes can be responded with not trying to guess tops or bottoms. I suggest and you already know that. It is futile to try to be panicking and entering a market thinking the first morning or evening star is the way to enter. It can be a treachery and it is wiser to wait and see.
You will notice that we always have sufficient time and absolute clear clue when we should take a train.

+ JULY 15

As you saw we had a very weak open. As projected in past few blogs 15th still has some steam and things can happen.

+ As you see market did move at last hours. Friday will be a volatile day and if you have any longs close them within one hour or so after open following technicals.
If short just stay on.
I think market still has some more secrets left and the early next part is still left as there are two days and half somewhat positive but it can change. It is not wise to go long right now unless you know an asset.

EUR : Eur made a huge turn today perhaps one of the best in months.
If you are in a position overnight you may like to watch Fri. Euro continues to be strong for few more days and it may diverge from the broader market to which it has followed at times.

+ When you suggest any stock or asset on comments. Please know that any indications that are suggested are for short term and it is very important that you follow through technicals or your own analysis and to get an idea for more days please repost a comment.

I dont mind receiving many mail requests which I usually answer but you could easily post here on the blog. At times I dont check mail and thus miss mail requests. You dont need to divulge your identity or name if you dont wish. Please know I do not charge anything and you can see that any ideas given so far have proven to be mostly correct. You can not find any public site that offers such information for free. Yet since it is without cost some people think it should be worthless info.

Nobody can guarantee any thing but I do lots of hard work, research and only then I write a line.
I do not have this blog for fun, entertainment or my pleasure etc.
I try my best to offer the best I can even though at times there is no feedback from readers. Please know that all this work or plain hints that are provided have enormous research volume invested. It is not using a crystal ball and read:) This is a very serious work and I always share and want you to make use of my work. I just want you to make some gains and if you let me know I will feel my work was worthy enough. I just want some feedback and request that people join this blog or at least comment time to time. Any good feedback and suggestions or contribution in form of any ideas helps all of us. I am grateful to all my friends who take time to comment.
It is a humble yet very serious attempt to help independent, self sufficient traders and small fund managers to get a clue on the markets in clear no-nonsense way without many illustrations or piles of unending info.

If you notice all our broad market indicators are so clear, obvious and plane simple that any one can understand as we have friends from many countries. Despite the simplicity and valuable information many people can never believe and trust:). Despite our best efforts on this or any blog we must verify and confirm with our own system too always. Never ever follow anyone blindly or you will pay a heavy cost. I started this blog because some free and very expensive services that are all over advertising and well known are nothing but scams and fraudulent for they deceive. I decided to offer quality info for no cost to all hard working traders.

Market gyrations for day traders on 12th July

2010-07-12T08:46:00.007-05:00

Expect a fast move today at/after 9.50 AM EST / 8.50 AM CST
This move could run for about half hour.

Overall a choppy day. Positive but not to expect much gain.
Market would perhaps change at about 2 PM EST / 1 PM CST

Other Key hours CST - Expect very sudden moves today.
Gold will keep gyrating in a range. Watch for an intra day move around 2 PM est / 1 pm cst

Agri / Soft Futures: Sugar, Wheat and Rough Rice may make some moves.

It is not a very good idea to go short on long term as yet on broad market.

T-Bonds : Move began today instead of Fri. May continue till 13th vigorously.

+ Gold to gyrate in a range. Watch for an intra day move around 2 PM est / 1 pm cst

+ First two days of this week bad for day trading.

Expect Tuesday, a worse day than today so handle with care. In this environment it is naive to decide a direction.
If you want to position search for a few longs Tuesday some time.

T-Bonds may make a better move tomorrow.

JULY 13

Well there was powerful strength for day 14th but it advanced one day. 14th continues to be a very hot day for bulls. Some stocks will surely reach their top on Wednesday.
You could search for good short positions on 14th. If you want the best hour I could suggest.

HOWEVER do not yet consider this final as yet. The bull run will continue after a short interval but we are very close to the peak and big fall will be imminent shortly. Many people who do not understand timing will lose all they have.

More later ..

Additional comments:
If your longs get stopped out it would be better to not re-enter for now and wait for Monday. Today is a good day for day trading but expect very choppy and some extreme moves. Look at your technicals carefully before risks.

For next week some sectors/sub-sectors/stocks will boom and some others will fizzle out or lose great deal. Position carefully. Shorting broader market is not suggested.

+ The readings here are only for extremely nimble and experienced traders with a conservative approach who can understand the risks but must mitigate losses. Any bleed control of any position is actually real factor.
The hints or indicators are only for very short term and do not offer long term views.

+ Real effective traders do not let opinionated or biased news or views affect their decisions. Sites, Media, Blogs that write frustrations, negativity or reactive notes do not help real traders. Just focus on real time facts of the CURRENT market scene and do not be affected by what "others say". Do what you feel is right and get feeds from a few credible sources, digest them, analyze them but BELIEVE ONLY what you think is right and follow your instinct. When in doubt, question, comment and share.

+ Please share your views, comments, thoughts without hesitation. You may post without any sign ups.

The week of 28 june July 2 and beyond

2010-06-29T13:18:00.015-05:00

If you have followed this blog in past you can see nothing literally has changed as per our view and as depicted last week the period of 18 to 29this is horribly negative.
Today is a real negative day with literally no positive aspect of any kind anywhere in sight. Does that mean that once this is over we are in for a better time!
Well unfortunately what I see is that this week may still be weak while June is almost over we still have June the 30th. It should be just slightly less negative and since it is a weak day with low volume something may lift up the market or may be there could be some consolidation.

July 1st may bring in some hope element and some confidence should return possibly forming a doji kind of day. July 2nd will lift up European and Asian markets to some extent with some hopeful event and the day could be just another consolidation day with more positive results. Next week 5th will be more eventful offering some interesting changes and confidence should be returning.

If all goes fine the next week should end up positive and higher than previous 2 weeks.
Will add more later.

+ If you hold any shorts it will be important to watch the period of 30th to 1st July.
From 5th/6th July there could be a real turn. Some sectors will have major turn.

+ If you trade Gold, look for signals on 2nd July and 5th July. I will provide a good clue in next days.

June 30

+ If you study tech analysis the H&S formation appears to be a reality now. What do you think and whats your opinion. In my careful studies I find that H&S formation is on its way and absolutely right to the point.
I will suggest extreme care with buying. To cover short in some stocks could be a good idea between today and tomorrow as per the technicals.

If you have any particular stock please comment and we can discuss. I did some studies recent IPOs and some random companies.
Many companies show their strength despite the weakness in broader market. And others just get strength when the broad market is bullish.
You see the difference. The stocks with their own particular strength always perform irrespective of the general trends.

+ As suggested yesterday 29th be careful today and it will most probably be another weak day.

+ TESLA IPO: As you see heavy volume big time speculatory move. Read analysis brief in comments.

Days ahead n next week

+ Expect hot moves on 1st but more on 2nd. Please do cover any shorts unless fundamental or technicals showing exceptions by 1st.

+ Expect huge and major turn around next week. I see some assets making real big moves. Obviously this has its timing.

+ Best would be as I had suggested in early June to find some assets that you know. You could comment here and we could discuss. I am analyzing some particular assets for now. Some will move only next week and some will keep moving for 2 weeks.
Interesting opportunity for short term / swing traders.

July 1

As you can say markets have entered into a red alert zone because there is literally no positive energy left. It will take a weekend and more to get back.
Currently it is mostly automated trading whereby the stop losses are being hit and we are in a free fall.
This correction as we discussed on 18th and earlier continues till today.
It is probable that after mid day session the mood may alter.
As projected earlier later tonight I have a feeling that Asia may open somewhat positive and perhaps later Europe, which may impact the local markets too.
Today the worst we already see but the best if there could be a minor gain forming a morning star type of signal.

+ Longer term view: July could be a very shaky month the market indicators will be confusing and many fake setups. So handle with care.

+ Silver : It is not going to run parallel to Gold most probably but its own course. Pl see comments section.
+ Gold : I see a huge burst of Gold price next week but I cant confirm it as yet as it can be in any direction. It is possible that there is a bounce and then bust.

+ Pl see comments section for latest input or ideas. Will be posting a fresh blog later on this weekend. This weekend will be very important time for markets and its watchers.

Week June 21 - 25 - how to decipher and what to trade

2010-06-18T14:34:00.006-05:00

If you are an active trader or position investor you must very carefully focus on the coming week and the week after. The week after start 28 June to 2nd July may have slightly different tone and we can analyze it probably next week. Just keep in mind that during that week I see 2/3 slightly positive days but it possible that in a bigger picture they may be minor spikes.

Reading this week :
If you see the daily SPX is giving confusion signals in other words dont know which direction to go. It is however sitting on a certain good support or momentum but this can turn to any side any time. If you see weekly spx shows rising and with upward moment for past 2 weeks.
Technically if SPX crosses 1120 area it can have a bigger potential.

Having said that looking at non-traditional analysis, I clearly see much weakness mostly that will not give much direction except 21st and 23/24th show some weak strength but from past experience such strength is very temporary or rather momentary and dont aggregate to any new momentum.

The eclipse of 26th falls on a Saturday but its impact may not be very solid on the markets as much as the next one of July.

In brief the overall market may be quite weak and one may choose a direction either today or on 21st Monday with some selective assets going with a credit or debit spread put perhaps or some other strategy with more negative bias.

From historical perspective there is a signal that broad market may go up from later part of Monday and rally till Tuesday and or Wednesday and then drop. If you are not interested in extreme risk you could wait for early next week.

If you are seeking a long term plan you could go short on some assets that you follow either today, next week 23rd or on 2nd July. There is going to be pretty negative environment overall. But there are always miracles and sudden shocks so there could be some rally day but overall picture for now is not very bright. I usually have a very upward and positive approach but despite all my optimism when I see negativity or gray areas more or rather lesser light I usually see that markets do not go to any direction. A weak market can be slightly dangerous to work.
We are talking here broader market perspective.

If you have some particular stocks or key stocks of any particular sub-sector/sector please post or comment and I can review them. Usually my reading on individual asset is closer to reality, upon which I am constantly working trying to find correlations.

There are no real crystal balls or ways to see into future except genuine research and non stop comparative studies of past patterns which are necessary to project future.
Yes through certain psychic means we can visualize certain hint of future but in market analysis we can not rely on those kind of faint hints. I do not believe in all that as its a waste.
We need real time clear indicators and these indicators work well on intermediate terms.
The only thing one can do is real research and constantly improving upon the methods and techniques. That is what I have been doing and I find amazing possibilities.

Many commodities are going to reverse coming Monday so be watchful on agri commodities.

+ JUNE 21 2010

Please see comments section for vital comments on trading day/s at the bottom of this blog.

+ Today is going as expected and I wonder how many people will be trapped by the Bullish sentiment. Today evening later things will begin to change and those who buy will be reconsidering their positions but would wait till Tuesday.

+ As suggested if you would like to search for key assets that you know it will be a good day to do so but suggest that you go for downward direction that has more chances. If not wait till 23rd. or July first week. It is wiser not to go long in this period on broad markets.

+ Pl do not hesitate to write on specific assets as things change every day. Since I write mainly on broader markets unless we discuss a specific market, asset or commodity it is hard to pinpoint.
The objective of this blog is that we share quality info that makes sense for all of us. If you win we all win. I just wish to contribute positively and please remind me always as I am stuck with so many things always.

Markets potential for the remaining month and years

2010-06-17T13:52:00.003-05:00

June : If you see my blog of June 15 I suggested to cover any longs before 17th/18th. The market non the less was supposed to do slightly well this morning and then go into hybernation but it is possible that todays misactions or actions can have a retarded effect Friday or later at close. From 18th to 29th the markets will behave very strange. The major reversal can happen between 21st and 23th. July and August may pose a totally unexpected scenario!

I am going to study on micro level and will post if anyone interested.
I am also studying major components or key assets to get a mean or average instead of just studying broader indexes. Because the drivers of indexes are these key assets or stocks.
It is important to not focus on broader indexes except to keep a watch on the trends. To make any real profits it is important to focus on individual assets. You will notice I repeated this many times lately but it has a deep meaning.

Long term impact
Jupiter the most important planet that favors traders, investors and all banking & finance related professionals will be extremely affected for a time to come as Jupiter had a massive explosion on 3rd June, whereby a huge meteor like object plunged on its surface. It is a major impact on the planet. If it was on Earth it will shatter massive parts of our planet. Jupiter is like a super planet whereby our poor planet is just a little babe.

Our planet could not even sustain a minor blow that hit million year ago where we have now Grand canyon range from North Mountain going to North Mexico.
Jupiter has extremely large sphere of energy and more moons than all close planets that affect our Earthial ring. The great activity at Jupiterian sphere will cause major setbacks and changes for our world. These moons are extremely active, friendly and very very beneficial to Jupiter and all planets of our galaxy. A few of them are also being in major transition.

Major changes

You will notice extreme changes in Financial and all markets from now on not only for months to come but forever. Some major changes that are coming will change the way we live, think and work but that would be seen gradually over the coming months and next 3 years. To start with we have entered a period of massive change and anything will happen.

It is a time when many fortunes will be made and many existing fortunes will be shattered forever or lost into oblivion. People who amassed wealth by crooked means or with sins will lose it. People with good and noble karmic past will see better results. In brief, wealth or whatever we call to the liquid energy will change hands as always but this pattern is shifting after 12600 years literally. The motors of change have just ignited. The change on our planet has begun. The literal impact on our trade, industry, financial markets, money or capital fluid and all our human activities will have extreme changes over next 3 years from this and coming few week.

You can mark these words and keep them for future reference. Besides the extreme activity at Jupiter there are some interactions that will cause major and subtle changes which will be sudden, shocking yet perhaps necessary for our evolution.

16th June the day after - Trading in challenging times

2010-06-16T09:50:00.000-05:00

I noted yesterday that to project this month one could compare with second half of April. Today is a difficult day for any one as projected, why because after too much of optimism or pessimism a reaction is obvious.

How to go in a difficult environment?
Any asset, commodity or stock require some knowledge of broad markets direction.
Once we know that more or less for one week, it is then good to select just one day to decide the direction for a swing trade. Then follow through that. When markets do not have much of a trend, volatility is caused by uncertainty the best approach is to go cash or if have some time to focus, decide the direction and go for max 2 days. I have found that an overnight or two days swing trade makes more sense.
If we know the direction of one whole month and more or less know where the markets are heading it is good to go with a week to two swing trade and keep a watch.

Going on long term that is 2 to 3 months is only good in exceptional cases where we know the seasonality, trend or some particular reason. If you notice the experienced traders are recommending not to go long term. When you are an institutional and you have other objectives you could have a different approach but lately you will notice even larger players are careful in speculating.

Please write your experience and ideas on the best way to trade.

Stocks, Options/Leaps or ETFs

Whether we do futures, index or any sector or stocks there are many options obviously.
In current environment choosing the mode or instrument is another challenge.
As per my experience and few other traders going mid term to long term options makes more sense.
If we do options some people only do calendar spreads and other do credit/debit spreads.
Whatever we decide if we do not know the timing or our direction or bias is wrong we could lose in any way. I have noticed that one could even lose in so called safe bets like iron condors if your timing is wrong.

After thinking and experiencing a great deal I concluded few months ago that the KEY to success in trading is timing and then secondary is choosing the right mechanism.

Please share your experience and opinion.

15th June Trading day for day traders

2010-06-15T08:25:00.003-05:00

Today could present a good opportunity to go on long side in some cases but only for the day.

General market reading

One vital factor one must keep in mind while making a bias for the day is that many times or most of the times the news, factors, events that were initiated day before but whose effect was not felt at that particular moment may appear as a retarded effect. This factor can cause an otherwise perfect direction day to turn to other side and when that happens you should know if the trend continues after lunch.

To give you a clue on longer term in brief consider these days of June as of April of this year. Even though we do not seem to have any direction there are more possibilities of a bullish side as many people are expecting it. Yes there would be few bullish days during next few days but focusing only on general market indexes can be risky. There are opportunities but good for day trades.
If you must go overnight keep a watch on positions on 17th and 18th and possibly a stop loss or tighter control. In my personal reading 18th can be a very volatile and risky day. We should reach a peak around that time or between 21 to 23 June.
There is an element of unexpected or anything-can-happen time from 18th to 25 June so go with caution and focus on a few assets that are familiar to you.

Frankly for a day trader focusing on day's energy is very important.

How to make real profits
Stocks: I am now studying selected individual stocks and focusing on them is much more interesting than just gambling or putting all your time on predicting general indexes trends. Real profits are not always possible by only doing indexes unless you are doing micro timing futures. To make it really consistent profits it is vital to specialize on a few stocks or sub-sectors that make sense to you.
I can help as I said before in giving an analysis that you wont ever find anywhere else. My analysis factors in some technical analysis too but if by your own tech
and or fundamental/basic analysis you have some assets post here and we could find key pivot dates in concrete. Of course general markets direction is important but real profits are made when we focus on few commodities that we specialize or sectors/sub-sectors of stocks that we understand.

Communication and feedback
I know blog writing is a passive business but some interactivity is essential or necessary as this blog is shared between us to exchange some views too. I do not believe in reading too much or too many channels, media, sites. I will even suggest to avoid reading common or very popular trading sites specially the views as they always confuse real traders mind.
Focus on methods that always give you consistent results. Read others just to clarify any doubts.
I believe in looking at news, views and bla bla to see what others think but all this must be filtered and keep the junk away to form a real pure opinion.
It is also important to plan in advance to succeed including for day trades.

I invite you to post your views, ideas or suggestions on specific assets and we will analyze them. My view can give you 70 to 90% of more probability thus adding some value. If I see confusion or doubts I say so.

Wishing the best for your success in trading. It is most important to keep your portfolio alive and in balance. Some losses are at times good because we prepare ourselves better. Idea is to not over trade but trade wisely.

BP: I still dont see much chance but 23rd June to 25th June can produce some change so watch out just before that.

Gold: Not yet.

Comments: Thank you Mbeider, Gin, Yushan and Reza for your positive thinking and good vibrations. Thank you for your encouragement and feedback.

+ Please ask inquire suggest or answer specific questions on the general aspects or specific assets. It will help you and a few others. When a few other people benefit from your suggestion you get a vibratory credit somewhere that ultimately helps you.

June 4th Friday Ride day and a view of the month

2010-06-04T08:41:00.011-05:00

Please know this month and coming months will be very connected to global events on geo-political scene involving critical time for some heads of states, countries and areas with great political upheaval, military action, violence and natural catastrophes. The markets will be mimicking to some extent these events which may keep popping up. the events will be focused on some particular areas but will be prominent in the areas where the troubles began on 7th of April. This is a very bad and negative period of the countries in trouble and crisis. Around 7th a few surprising events can decide the flow of markets.

If you read blog of past 3 days you see that we had talked about 4th being a very volatile day that will offer good intra day lows to hunt for bargains.

Yet for very short term trend June offers highly volatile but less volatile than May opportunities with risk. The best is to go with particular assets that one follows.

IN MOST CASES however going long on intermediate term poses extreme risks and one must as I said consider thinking of assessing particular assets or sectors that one has grip on. Best is to consult and check its technicals and then consider working on it.

DAY TRADING:

Trade with great caution. Intra day volatility will remain there.

+ There is an intra day trade opport on Silver at 1030 am EST and for Gold at 11 AM EST. Make a note and see your futures.

+ Gold did move as above at 11 PM EST and made a full 13 point move. This shows that somethings work.

+ Please know that micro moves are usually for very short duration and must be confirmed by technicals.

SHORT TERM SWINGS

Considering the hyper volatility that I see on a longer scale June may still pose risks so I will not be recommending any long positions for now for the overall market conditions are very risky.

THE reason I say that is that when you study individuals assets they have their own volatility but some assets and sectors always show better results than wider markets. When we study general market or major indicators like S&P or DJIA the indicators are not very encouraging. There are two kind of studies overall universal planetary conditions which is like fundamental analysis and then focused on some key assets which is highly focused analysis and then one can get a mean out of that. In brief June continues to be bad even though it wont be as sharp as May. Considering all above I suggest studying individual assets and go with the direction that is more likely irrespective of general markets. Hope this makes sense.

However we can study some individual assets which will do well in some brief time frames. It will be wiser to focus only on those.
Keep the above in mind before committing any longer swing trades.
Very short term swing trades on some sectors like High tech, Technology, defense, Metals, Steel, Clothing, Trading, selective retail may work for this month specially from 8th June onwards.

+ If you see my blogs of 1st June 2nd June you can see what I wrote. It has happened exactly as I mentioned. Two up days and two down days.
I also wrote on 1st when the market was drowning to COVER any longs on 2nd JUNE.
Because I foretold that 3rd was volatile n 4th was down.
If anyone had covered their longs on 2nd intra day high, today at this hour could be a great time again to reenter.

+ If you buy Gold or related stocks today for short term, stop loss on 8th and cover them or protect by 9th.

Critical trading days volatility

2010-06-03T08:15:00.001-05:00

Today, Friday and Monday are slightly critical and volatile days.
The market today may do well but there could be obstacles in the early hours.
As wrote yesterday it could be a huge spike or slide down or just very volatile.

Friday could be an interesting and volatile day to look for good buys.
Going long from this week could prove to be beneficial if you go with the right assets.
If there is no major event happening during the next days Monday onwards markets could lift up vigorously. 7th looked very negative initially but factoring the weekend it could be a great day.

Eur: Euro and few other currencies could turn around between 7th and 8th June.

+ As you can see the market is extremely volatile. But what I see is an up market from next week and unless there is an extreme case nothing could stop that. However this up trend will have a limited duration.

Questions, answers or opinions are welcome.

How to trade this week and the coming one - day trading on 2nd June 2010

2010-06-02T09:12:00.002-05:00

The rally that started in second week of February had no correction for literally till 4th week of April. In my unholy grail track I found that twice there was strong manipulation to jack up the markets. If they had let the Feb first week fall continue a very good natural energy would have lifted the stocks anyway by early March.
Whenever there is manipulation technical indicators will also defy the logic.
In March there were few days when there was hardly any move and it was all done by a few very large players. When we try to build a house without solid foundations it sustains only for a while. Now we are paying the consequences. Too much of rush and bullishness followed by excessive fear and panic.

The question many people are asking when this fear will mitigate or when the fresh enthusiasm will reappear?
Seeing the natural energy patterns it will be on 8th of June.
Before that all that happens is merely spikes and some over sold market reaction. Buyers coming in big numbers may not be likely but slowly the momentum will be built up and next week should see some new moves.

Frankly I am keeping a watch on daily and micro intra day moves but now I am focusing on an intermediate 2/3 months term view because real gains are only possible if we know the wider frame. Thinking of very long term like years in current environment is only good for larger hedge and secure funds.

If you are an independent trader or smaller fund manager, the best is to focus on a period of 3/4 months for maximum.

I am sorry I could not post my blog earlier on 31st but 1st June had a huge slide simply for the negative energy of 31st and also a long holiday weekend.

This week:

This is a rather unpredictable week but just seeing the energy today 2nd June should prove to be positive after all.

3rd could either be very steep fall or a big spike but frankly it is negative and 4th appears as very volatile day. These are ideal days for day traders.

4th could be an interesting day to hunt for bargains on some of sectors and stocks that you understand.
I will post later a few sectors I am studying that I think will have major move from this week on.

TODAY 2nd JUNE Day Trading Key hours

11.30 am EST / 10.30 am CST
1.00 pm est / 12.00 CST

2.45 pm est / 1.45 pm cst CAUTION
3.40 pm est / 2.40 pm cst interesting

+ If you want I can provide a view on any sector, commodity or stock for a swing trade.

Please be specific and give me your brief analysis or understanding and I will give you a view. If we plan properly we can win. Please do not ever forget that in the markets technical indicators are not always the best way to enter even though they are useful. The real factor is proper timing. If you time improperly chances to win are lesser.

+ Notice a few sectors that were oversold are bouncing back.

Will June be a reversal of May?

2010-06-01T09:20:00.001-05:00

Finally a new month starts with hope even though on a negative note.
June may not reverse all losses of May but it will be a much better month or rather could have a few good trading weeks despite many sharp conflicts causing spikes and slides.

This current week the markets will be up and down and 2 days would be very interesting and 2 very down days.

It would be better to cover any longs on 2nd somewhere.
You could explore Fri perhaps for view to 2nd week.

Today after 1030 AM EST or 930 am CST market may do some reversal.
Be careful at 1.30 PM EST or 12.30 PM CST.

CRITICAL TIME
+ Between 3rd and 7th there could be some military maneouver somewhere and or some sort of conflict which could cause everything to be in critical situation so be careful.

Shake out continues.. What to expect

2010-05-25T08:30:00.001-05:00

If you can handle these two days with care that is today 25th and 26th, you could do well. If you notice literally every single asset is down except the US Treasuries and USD. There is extreme fear in the environment.
The fall that began in last week of April will stop on 27th of May.

Trading Strategy?

The best one can do is focus on the assets that you are familiar with and watch for reversal signs during this week. Some assets will begin to pick up from 27th May.

Do not expect the first week of June as wonderful as yet but there are 2 very good days. For that you will have to trade with extreme care unless you plan to go for a short term to intermediate term.

In place of panic look for good assets that you understand.

Day Trading
Today and tomorrow are very negative as per suggested in blog of last week yet anything would be possible during the day so day trading can be very interesting.

May 25, 2010 8:51 AM CST
May 25, 2010 9:44 AM CST
May 25, 2010 11:15 AM CST

Commodities:

When you find any alerts or signals they must be confirmed by the real markets and the timing is crucial.

Is the bottom near? More surprises in May

2010-05-20T07:45:00.008-05:00

If you carefully see past blog posts you can see it was all projected.

This week and next week are weak and once weakened it weakens exponentially.
If you see I suggested not to go long for sometime except some day trading opportunities.

Yesterday at close the S&P and DJIA reached an important Fibo ratio level.
Today we may reach another further level which will trigger a reaction later on.
My system does not provide any quantification or I can not provide any numbers.

+ To help you give an idea, 19, 20 and 21st May would be exact pattern of 5, 6 and 7th May. Mark my words!!

It is going to be bumpy ride. Monday 24th is also bit unreliable and very volatile.
25th I continue to see some direction forming.
I see a big spike between 21 and 24 but I can not say the direction. It could be a reactive bounce or it could be a further slide.

You could research next week from 27/28th
the best possible entries but follow the technical from there on.

First week June will have amazing volatility. Will post some commodities and sectors that will perhaps be more prominent.
Meanwhile please take good care and look at long term.

In case you are stuck in some longs and you dint have any stops?
You may sustain for a week more if you could if technical of particular asset are showing some signs.

+Why it is not recommended to buy now?
It is like buying on 3rd of May? Great trap!

+ Day trading opportunities

It is an ideal time for day traders as there would be great opportunities for micro trading.
Today open will be very interesting
About 12.15 PM CST / 1.15 PM EST there could be some change.

Then sharp at 10 AM CST / 11 AM EST
10.55 Am cst / 11.55 est
1.41 pm cst / 2.41 est

FRI APR 21

Please see the blog post and comments.

+ If you want to be on a priv list for occasional alerts in advance pl send a request

+ I will try post a view for next week shortly.
It would be good to hear from you your views by blog comments here or by email.
If I receive any ideas or questions we can discuss that in next blog.
Next week is an extremely important week for quite some time to come.

If we take wrong decisions they can be costly.

I hope you were able to benefit from my warnings and alerts and now you saw what I meant. The worst is not yet over but we are nearing. We may enter into a consolidation for the next 2 big moves coming soon.

Market reaching a critical point? Where do we go from here?

2010-05-19T09:33:00.005-05:00

My long term view had been negative since my last blog on long term view in April.

On 7th April I had forewarned the coming major decline but at that time writing of a crash or decline was not in fashion. But I kept giving hints on the coming dwindling of empty boxes.

See what I posted on 15th April morning

Thursday, April 15, 2010
Projection for 15th and 16th and beyond
+ Those watching the markets know well that so much push by institutionals has crowded the top. The top is always very very thin edged and when too many at top, the fall is imminent.

You could see that from 16th April the fall has been exponential.

See on 27th April I posted:

+ GOLD : I see Gold being bullish for next few days.

+ REIT : We may be entering into a phase where many traders would be shorting the Real Estate ETFs for some time.

+ EUR : Eur should be sliding down more. After Greek debt's down rating, S&P down graded Spain's debt. This is not a good sign for EUROPE.
We should expect major problems with financial system in Europe.
This would have serious consequences in next few months.

> But few days ago I noted in a comment that one must cover any Gold positions.

General Market Reading for 19th - 27th May

We could expect some bounces but this is going to be without much momentum. Except a few intra day spikes I dont expect big sustainable trend. I wish I was wrong.

Key event of today could be at about 3.40 PM EST / 2.40 PM CST which could form a key Fibo ratio level.

It would be good to do some research during this and next week and search for good individual stocks or ETFs. I have some basic idea for some sectors that may shine in June and I will post in a blog and if technicals permit and show strength you could test them.

19th it will be a bumpy ride day
20th could present some opportunity
21st negative
24th overall down but can make some spike
25th some intra day move but still weak
26th negative
27th to 29th Negative but great time to search/analyze good buying opportunities
June will offer some great opportunities in some specific sectors. Keep cash and wait for the better times.

+ Commodities

- Cotton : I had posted it last week and despite when all commodities went down it kept up. Since then Cotton Futures made good gains. It is time now to put a stop loss or cover it.

- Gold : This week is not good to go long.
It may begin a new move from 24 mostly from 25th to 27th. 28th could be a down day.

+ Natural Gas : If you have been long you may very well bear few more days. Despite its continual slide for months NG showed some life recently in Mid May. It shows some move from 20th May to 26h/27th and at that point add some cover or max on 29th. It may show some life again from 5th to 15th June.

+ Your comments

Please post your comments freely preferably on the latest blog post.
You could post any questions, answers or comments. You are free to review my reading and criticize but if we are constructive and build up a collective view based on consensus we can do much better.

I do not recommend reading too many opinions or views because they only confuse us. Just focus on your own personal readings that you rely. If you always hit wrong like buying at top or selling at bottom just reverse your strategy.
If you follow any blogs or newsletters please share your opinion even if it is contradictory. We could review and create a better understanding.

We are in a very delicate and critical period and many people would be losing their portfolios if they are incorrectly positioned.
Apply all caution and dont be tempted by the false signals.

18th May Green day - what is hot

2010-05-18T08:54:00.001-05:00

Today's futures show a reversal of yesterday. Almost all indices and commodities show up except those which were up Monday morning.
Everything seems to be hot today. We projected most of todays outcome in comments section yesterday.
Except the USD index and Japanese Yen and Gold almost all should be up.

If you follow this blog and read the comments section we already discussed the outcome of Tuesday.
The potential rally of today entails some risks.

19th may be slightly negative and 20th somewhat positive.
If you are looking to cover your longs it may be a good day today.

+I had calculated these hours months before based primarily on Geocentric Central time. However since Eastern time is not exactly one hour difference so one should see few minutes usually 10/12 minutes -+ on these hours.

Despite very positive day today unfortunately I personally dont see much in the market as far as going long is concerned for some days till end next week/

We will have a real bull but precipitating and buying early with "hope" wont pay.

16th May Futures and this week

2010-05-16T23:58:00.002-05:00

It is literally mid night and all futures are very down and getting down more.
Nikkei, DAX and almost all other futures are going to be down with the date 16th May. Totally opposite of 9th Sunday when all futures were up in the sky.
Crude oil June futures are touching 70$.

As per my blog Fri Cotton is the only future that is floating well along with Gold and Silver.

I am trying to study if Gold is going inverse to the general markets.
However when there is general panic even Gold goes down.
Yet the only thing that goes up in these gloomy hours is Treasuries and precious metals that are essentially traded like currencies.

Euro is literally sinking currently at 122.90 but I think it may do some improvement shortly.
USD Index is pretty high that shows that US currency is an important refuge besides Gold and Silver. Japanese Yen is also up for technical reasons.

I have some interesting work going on researching certain hidden aspects of the markets.

17th was a down day in my reading but I hope it changes during the day on 17th morning even though I am not sure despite that I had calculated that the positive energy that I had for 18th may advance on 17th:)
I have found the answer somewhat to my one day mistake and am working to polish my work.

I hope 17th May trading brings some positive news. British Petroleum has covered partly its spill and pray that they can cover the rest too. Even though unfortunately after studying the natal chart of British Petroleum I saw that their real problem began on 13th night / 14th April they must have kept it hidden till the rig actually broke down and sank. There was the worst possible combination of over 16 aspects that are enough to bring all bad and disasters to an entity. The worst aspect happening on 24th April literally made this crisis worse. Even though BP has positive time but from 24/25th/26th May their problems will reappear unfortunately, if they do not take some extreme actions and hopefully they are already doing that.

I have done some comprehensive studies on some major entities and corporations and I can help them advancing their disasters but believe or not few people are interested in believing the esoteric sciences. I wrote a mail from BP site 2 weeks ago but they never even cared to reply. The pinpointd research I did on BP and Trans Ocean spoke loudly the potential disaster.
I can advance the worst case scenarios one year in advance or more but most business people are arrogant and poorly informed on alternative sources of forecasting.

Non the less we pray that We all can save this planet and financial markets do not drown like the BP Rig. Good news is that soon things will shine again.

+ Please see the comments section for further opinions and projections for the week.

Friday 14th May Trading day

2010-05-14T08:27:00.006-05:00

Literally all world markets have been down on Friday. Despite a few good news everything looks so dark and shady.
It is a new Moon day today and the time of this writing Moon is entering into Gemini. So today will be a crucial day.

We projected it as a positive day.
We have to see how it goes
If the start does not go great scene may change at about 1030 am est
But anything is possible on a new Moon day.

955 am est
1050 am
230 pm est
should be interesting hours.

I will try to post more intra day hours in a short while

Cotton and Gold futures should do well today. Cotton may continue do well on Tuesday too. Cotton ETN is BAL. It is a probable trade but subject to broad market and other factors.

+ USD and JY are only ones with strength this morning.

+It seems it is going to be a big sell off session. It is happening for the investigation at some major banks of NY.
It turned out to be a negative day today.

+ Please see the comments section for more details and discussions on the market projections.

+ There may be a move at about 230 pm cst or 330 PM Est today that can have some strength.

13th May Thursday key day trading hours

2010-05-13T08:14:00.007-05:00

I found a very important timing difference that I was using Central time as my base.
CST is good for Futures and Commodities but the bulk of action of stocks and other assets happens
in NY so from now on I would mainly focus on the NYC. The time of our clocks, of any zone is not really real.
It is merely done as per geo locations but the real time from geo-cosmic point of view is totally different.
Anyway I seem to have found my main flaw or bug in my work and I feel quite elated yet at the same time a bit
sad for having wasted so much time in miscalculating. Even if PST EST or CST have one or 3 hour difference on our clock real geo-cosmic time is not one or 3 hours. But anyway you need not worry. From now will focus not on CST any longer but EST. Even EST time varies geo-cosmically e.g. if you live in NY area or FL
it is a different story. The difference is only of few minutes but in the day trading one minute can cost a few thousand to millions of dollars.
Most people do not realize the timing factor. Since the market action happens in NY time zone we can simply follow that time and then adjust time wherever we are.

~ If the timing is correct day may start positive and later turn negative or around mid day. Todays key hours are done from a different perspective. I am testing a few different angles and precise timing that really applies in practice to the market. At times the key timing is aproxi or near a pivot point.

Key points / potential hours to consider
9.19 am EST
1030 am EST
1142 am est
1253 pm est to 1 pm est
2.04 pm EST
3.15 pm est
3.31 pm est

Since I would be re-doing all my projections I would post shortly some of the potential changes or adjustments.
For now on short/intermediate term our projections should be as per blogs of past days.
I also found the secret of First week of May deciphered. Nothing ever happens for "errors" It was prewritten,
but now I read it in clearer language. I posted a picture on 5th of the coming crash which many people did not understand
that day but clearly got the message later on 6th. Right at 1 PM CST the event began its ticking.
If I have some more active participants I can give more ideas.

~ Direction for today and Friday.
The overall combined energy for two days is strong despite today being a weak day.
But since I wrote yesterday my timing was bit displaced today could turn out to be rather positive.

+ As we talked about the direction last week and few days ago, Thursday may be a weak day but may go positive but Fri is supposed to be a strong day.
So considering the day's action you could perhaps go long later on.
As per my previous projection today should be negative.
Monday is more or less hard to say but Tuesday is a strong day.
So if you want to go long think from today to Fri or Tuesday.

~ Trading decisions
Please know that indicators or hints provided are mostly subject to confirmation by the market as they are mere projections.
Most of the time they are for intra-day futures trades for people with instant quotes access. These are meant for professional or expert traders usually.
At times if the play is slightly longer, one can think of doing an ETF or related stock but that should be confirmed with the technicals of the market.

~ Many of our stocks that are mentioned are for very short term. If you want to consult for a longer term [like swing or a few months] please post your comment.
Despite all any projections must be first confirmed and one has to use some logic and reasonable basis to enter a trade.
If in doubt dont go for it or first seek some advice.

Will write more later on for potential strategies for next days.

+ If you notice our projection is pretty close except the error in few hours which left many projections preceded or retarded by a day.
Trying to tune this up and get a better handle.

Your feedback helps to get better as its a collective work.

Market gyrations on March 12th Wednesday

2010-05-12T08:20:00.006-05:00

The market today may remain sluggish to slightly positive. So handle with care.
The chances of having an up day would be because of the commodities that as projected earlier are having a green day so far in futures.

Overall it may remain positive.

Be watchful at middle of the day 12 CST time or 13.00 PM EST
Then at about 1.30 pm cst / 2.30 pm est another reversal potential

Will get with more news and projection shortly.
Commodities upside push may help the markets.

+ I think the comment posting is enabled now. It was an error from Google.

+ From here to where?

Today at 11.15 AM CST some change and then at 12 and 1.30 pm

As per my other posts I continue to see that May 13 be a very unique day, it could be a very steep fall or very steep rise because of extreme negative and positive polarities meeting.
Overall it may be a negative day. Best is to get a cover.

Friday looks very positive as per energy patterns but I am afraid this could have another bust day potential. If all energy patterns are to be believed next week may turn up as a peak if 14th is not a peak which appears possible for now.
The best is to get some puts by Friday or Monday and cover longs.

+ Today, Friday and coming Tuesday could be high day. In my calculations I see 14th or 18th as a peak day.

+ I am seeking the UNHOLY GRAIL to the market because people say holy grail is a joke. I need to work harder on micro scale to get this better.
It is pretty easy to forecast on long term which I have been doing but I must find a way to fix this daily grind. I think I am close to it.

Smoke and Mirror week and next week to come

2010-05-11T11:16:00.008-05:00

Market may turn around in mid morning and stay afloat.
I guess the market may have different tone from tonight's futures and Asia. But if my calculations are right we are nearing a short term top again in next few days. We should be technically up till 14th and from 17th or 18th the market either may drop or remain in a suspension.
13th of this month may remain sluggish or not very positive.

Alternative Projection
Another projection which looks very probable is that [This is because my earlier projection of 11th advanced one day] there could be a peak formed on 14th but the Monday futures may be extremely down. If that happens any longs of this week will lose big time. I am still confused on this particular timing.

+ If we go simply by energy patterns it is all even more difficult to forecast. From another pure energy angle, the peak could happen from 17th to around 19/20th.
I will try to post more on this. However if we go realistically the above first projections seems more likely.

In any case I see a clear down trend from next Monday or Tuesday. It may not be substantial but markets may remain in suspension for bout 10 days before they turn around.

Gold has three attributes. It is a currency, it is a precious metal and it is a hedge. So it has three kind of investors.
Gold Silver Copper and Crude are really key commodities these days that run on parallel of markets. Just go technical for very short term trades. Will get back shortly.

Opportunities to trade
+ Various currencies

+ Look carefully at about 11.30 AM CST or 12.30 CST for Platinum Futures for a good opportunity. If you dont have access to futures PL 0N July Platinum, look at ETF/ETN > PGM
The platinum move may not be substantial today because it already saturated for the day:{ It may remain bullish if it crossed a few points.

+ Day trading or positioning

Today at about 2 PM CST or 3 PM EST
Market may turn around again! Be watchful.

+ CRUDE OIL PROJECTION

Crude oil is at its low and may remain negative.
It may do a rally from 12th to 14th May extending to 17/18th probably.
If technicals allow put a stop loss asap.
It could be a great trade if you follow it correctly.
It has to drop later for 10 days after this spike.
You have to wait for the evening or later night for the futures to turn around or enter at the close if going for some related ETF. Look at technicals always and be sure of what you do.

+ Pl be aware that the above projection is subject to certain factors. If we see technicals oil does not have much chance for this week but this is what I have read so far in my alternate analysis. If you see the setup go for it if not just ignore.
More later

Weekend to Monday Futures Rally - Is it a Fat Finger error?

2010-05-10T04:30:00.002-05:00

Literally every single asset that went down last week is up on Sunday Night in NY and early morning in Europe. At this writing S&P Is literally 53 points up, Dow Jones 400 points up and Nasdaq Futures are up 85 points.

Japanese Nikkei 224 shows +500 points up and Dow Jones Euro Stoxx futures are up more than 215 points.

Crude oil is up almost 3 $ on June and July Futures. Of course Heating Oil, Natural Gas and Gasoline futures are green too.
All Agri commodities except coffee are up.
Naturally USD index is down 1.32 points and Gold, Silver substantially down.
Literally all that went up last week Gold, Silver, USD, Japanese Yen are in decline today.

This hyper bounce is a reaction to the news from Europe of a One Trillion Dollar rescue package to save the Euro currency from any fall as the speculators have been betting that Euro was literally in danger of a complete fall. This multi Government support line has been supported by the US Fed as they agreed for credit swaps and unlimited support and supply of liquidity etc.

Euro Currency futures are up 300 points from 1.2750 to 1.3050 at about 11 AM European time.

Will this hyper reaction to the news on futures be sustained at NY open can not be said. But it may create a major rally in almost all commodities and stocks.

I had seen for days a large positive energy emanation on 11th of May but not on 10th May. I am bit surprised but at the same time wonder if this is sustainable.

+ Commodities : May begin a projected rally from Monday to Next Monday with Wednesday slightly down or if rally of Monday continues then Tuesday could be a down day. Whatever the outcome Commodities may remain pretty strong for the week and then a slide down from early next week. Stocks may follow the path of commodities.

As per my calculated projections we may have this week as positive [ I had seen two very positive days and one neutral] with either 17th or 18th or both and then a slide. I had repeatedly suggested on Thursday and Friday to put a stop loss on Gold positions. For now Gold June Futures are down 20 points.

Will add more later but I happened to witness this rally while the US markets are closed but the futures are over active.
Rough Rice is up .18 points, Corn +5, Cocoa +76, Wheat +2, Soybeans +6

crude oil, natural gas, platinum, coppper, ES, Spy, NQ, QQQQ, TF, IWM, RUT, YM, DIA, EC, FXE, AD,FXA, Cd,FXC, SF,FXF, Commodities, Rough rice, corn, cocoa, wheat, soybeans, soybean meal,

+ I am still shocked at miscalculating by a day. This spike was supposed to happen on Monday evening onwards and spread to Tuesday but this can actually happen a day earlier shows that energy patterns shift. Well now on as I said we could detect the micro trends and factor one or two earlier days. The biggest problem I face is the weekend as mostly one ignores its energy but I guess we should also count the weekend for projecting a week.

So that means that for Tuesday we could continue with this up trend to go bust again. Wish there was some more feedback and thus by interacting in advance we can reach to finer precision.

How small investors and traders are being robbed each day : capital market scams

2010-05-09T13:11:00.001-05:00

The real function of capital markets is to provide capital and liquidity for industries, companies, small business and individuals to run the economies. BUT the capital markets here are not doing that basic job but looting and robbing with both hands.

All these websites, media, newspapers and information is owned by vested interests whose only interest is to help institutional huge capital robbers. It is one huge ponzi scam designed as a huge virtual casino, where innocent and people without vision and knowledge contribute all their hard earned savings so that bigger fat bastards can rob them within totally legal limits.

If you do not know the inside and outside of these markets, and you are a small investor or a newbie with little experience in analyzing and you just trade or invest by reading all these stupid magazines and Newspapers or follow this kind of websites you will be fooled and parted with your money and you will lose literally all your savings sooner or later. Greed creates an illusion and illusions are sold each day in name of a staged and planned market scheme where some big ones eat small ones.

The real function of capital markets is to provide capital and liquidity for industries, companies, small business and individuals to run the economies. BUT the capital markets here are not doing that basic job but looting and robbing with both hands.

Before you invest a penny seek wisdom, advise from some professionals or someone experienced before all this information avalanche put forward by Bloomberg, CNBC, News corp,. WSJ, Barrons and all other sites including seekingalpha.com, marketwatch.com and literally thousand others and all nonsense create an illusion of making it big playing on the wall street.

Save your portfolio if you have any left and keep it in a safe currency or cash.

Friday 7th May After the Joy Ride Day

2010-05-07T08:21:00.003-05:00

Today is a day anyone can prognosticate. Today the lost wayfarer should return home from a stromy journey and it would be a time to count the belongings.
Moon entering in Pisces early this morning we should reach at the bottom of a 3 week cycle for now.

Despite being a potentially interesting day, it may be good for day traders but it still may not be great idea to go long on longer term.
Next week would be potentially the only week when some good out of mostly negative month may happen.

The weakness of this week was supposed to be happening in the last 10 days of April but due to technical factors and certain momentum it kept piling up and like a pent up energy in individuals who burst out at the wrong time, the market had to do some bursting.
In place of trying to be smart predictor we posted on 5th May an image that literally showed the day ahead on 6th May.
Please know the forecaster's business is not to interfere with the real action as that is unethical so we should warn well ahead in time however to protect our portfolios. Many people who are absolutely believers of technical and fundanmental analysis reject 3rd type of analysis as mere speculatory psychos-psychic nonsense. It is not.
We must know that the analysis presented in this blog already factors all the basics, fundamentals and technicals.
Our main objective is to mitigate any losses, protect the portfolio and only hit when the opportunity arises and not engage in constant speculation and nervous trading. Nervous and miscalculated trades end up in losses.

Speaking of next week going long today can be treacherous a bit. Monday does not look very great day from our calculations even though later in the evenings things may change.

I also think Gold positions should have a stop loss at this point. I pointed this out yesterday at the peak. If I am wrong and Gold makes another move fine but if it does not you save your position if any.

Hope to post more on next week and this month during today and the weekend hopefully.

You may like to check the comment section always and updates at times on blog posts for more direction.

+ Market may behave very strange and negative between 940 AM CST to 10.30 AM CST.
There is a very negative aspect around this time.
At about 11.08 AM CSTthere is some positive energy.

+ While there is surely weakness in the market as is natural after a prolonged bullish cycle yet if you notice there is some disorder and a hint of chaos in the system.

I have a feeling that there are some vested interests on the street that are offended and angry at the new laws discussed and passed this week on the status of big banks.

They are now manipulating and destroying the order of the market to get even and they believe that by creating chaos they can win.

This assumption is actually almost real but you could do some research and you will find its true.

Review of this week

2010-04-30T18:49:00.002-05:00

This week

As you can see our reading was quite correct with 3 full down days and one doji/confused/neutral day and another reactive positive day but on the whole the week was negative as projected.

Anyway we should be over the correction for now except few down days and then the big peak of this rally.

I invite your feedback and many people do not track the comments where we post regularly updates.

Hope you all have a good weekend and hope the month of May brings good opportunities for all.

Is the current correction over? April 29th trading day key hours

2010-04-29T07:57:00.004-05:00

The Key Asian markets were down, while Japanese markets on a long holiday.
European markets turned green.
So is this correction over?
As per my analysis 29th was to be a neutral day but the there are many exciting news and
the impact of Full Moon on the near sky will perhaps continue with the enthusiasm that emanated
yesterday, which at least kept the market to not have a sell off.
This morning the energy is essentially negative but since there are a few positive aspects and the markets
are in a bullish tone on intermediate term, for now the market may do good and may even make a rally.

It is possible that the negativity of today is reflected on 30th but it is possible that tomorrow may
turn out to be slightly confusing day. So handle with care.

The most surprising is that Eur Currency which made its low of 1.31 strengthened yesterday and today
after being perhaps too oversold.
As I said unless you are working on slightly swing or long term working on overnight broad indexes
can be risky.
It would be great to start today with some individual stocks and ETFs or sectors that fully know.
By Monday 3rd May we may even forget the correction and continue with our current main trend punctuating
with a few down days.
I plan to study some individual commodities and stocks and focus on them.

Thank you friend Greg to giving a few favorite stocks that he shared yesterday.

If you have any favorite stocks please share and we can do further analysis and share ideas to do it together.

Currencies may do better as USD index is slightly resting today but things
could change at a later hour or tonight.

Wednesday 28th April trading day - Continuing with correction

2010-04-27T20:14:00.007-05:00

Many indicators would tell us that after a big red day of sell off, it is natural to have a reversal the next day. Yes it is true.
It could be possible. But over all we are still in a decline mode.

In my books I do see the Wednesday and Thursday as negative. Even though it is possible to have some reactive reversal but this may not yet be the end of the current correction.

A few markets may open high but they may not be very durable.
I would try to post some key hours that I see as interesting for day trades.

I still see most Agri. commodities down.

Replying to Friend Greg's comment on timing, please know that I am trying to refine my work to maximum precision. I may have few hours or a day here and there but we can read into the major changes.
Will add more shortly.

+ GOLD : I see Gold being bullish for next few days.

+ REIT : We may be entering into a phase where many traders would be shorting the Real Estate ETFs for some time.

+ Suggestion: Suggest that you share your position in the comment section time to time. One might get other opinions.

Key Hours where trading sessions may reverse:
Today is not a day to go long for sure.

11 AM cst / 12 am est

11.40 am cst / 12.40 pm est

12.35 pm cst / 13.35 pm est

1.20 pm cst / 2.20 pm est

Around 2.00 PM cst market may enter into some positive mood.

+ I had projected a few weeks ago to be careful on the tech stocks. As you can see Nasdaq has been performing worse than Standard & Poor 500 index.

+ We add quick analysis on many sectors, commodities and currencies time to time. Many people benefit from these quick notes. It would be nice to hear from you to add more value to this blog.

+ EUR : Eur should be sliding down more. After Greek debt's down rating, S&P down graded Spain's debt. This is not a good sign for EUROPE.
We should expect major problems with financial system in Europe.
This would have serious consequences in next few months.

A note on my blogs of this week

2010-04-23T15:21:00.000-05:00

What I mean here is that we may be forming at a top where anything is possible.

It is only advisable to go long or short if one knows a particular asset has a direction.

Any buying or agreements precaution was given because after 19th when Mercury retrogrades in full swing literally anything we do may have a chance to fail at a later stage or perhaps a need to renegotiate. I can relate you dozens of failed projects, businesses, transactions, charter parties and marriages go failed as they were executed at wrong time like this one.

It applies to the trading in a certain context because what is implied here is bit hard to explain but in plain language it means whatever we "BUY" or trade may have some negative consequences at a later stage.

I also wrote that sometimes the negative energy can also turn towards bullish bias. When we have negative angles it generally means to apply real caution to avoid sudden changes. My main goal is to warn my friends who work on slightly long term perspective.

I have been saying it for past 3 weeks not to go bearish till there is a final confirmation. I agree 100% with you. If you read my blog posts you will find that we only had 2 days when going bear was all right but with a stop loss.

I frankly only believe in very careful moves based only on a few assets that we understand. I never believe in kind of "betting" against the wide scale market. Like having a firm bearish bias on S&P or Nasdaq etc. as that only works in some specific cases.

I have been suggesting to take positions on very selective stocks that are moving essentially the markets.
Some stocks and commodities will even be very interesting to trade wherever the market in broad sense goes.

When I write about negative or positive energy it is about a few particular time periods which are difficult to hour because the influence of particular patterns only show at times in a retarded manner.

So all this negative energy that has been seen since 16th is merely part of a minor correction that perhaps will intensify next week. If nothing happens next week we should forget the bearishness for quite some time to come. By nature I am very bullish but I have learned to use brakes when I see danger ahead.

I warn because many people just dont realize that sudden turn arounds can be lethal. But thats again a view on broader market.

My main focus as you can see and notice is to be totally concentrated on one single day and do it well. But mastering day trading is a very subtle art. Swing trading is the best tool considering the current scene.

A note for Razensakya
This blog is a general view of the overall global financial markets that include key commodities, currencies and stocks.

I would add a note on precious metals each week once or more often.
I would reply to your question in a separate blog post. You ask something to quantify and offer clear buy sell setups. We can do that but it is very risky as not all readers may take it what we are implying. What we can offer is a clear view of how we view the market at a particular timing. This can then create a clearer picture on what positions to take. However will post more on your idea surely during the weekend.

Trading day key timing for Friday

2010-04-23T08:20:00.006-05:00

The one and perhaps only main advantage of day trading or very short term trading is that one could avoid any major shifts and get out or in quickly. Despite that common idea, traders do get burned when the expected does not occur or when many people are expecting the same outcome.

Well there is a lot to talk about and much to to be added. I may add some new blog posts during the weekend or later today. I have repeated many times that it is wiser to be flat or cash when in doubt.
Over speculation is one cause of major loss to short term trader.
Just go with the flow.

NEXT WEEK ?
Next week appears to be mostly negative with at least 3 very negative days and one neutral and one slightly positive based on various factors. If it was a natural market where all participants had some proportional bias it was easily
predictable the outcome with exact numbers but that is not the case many times, especially when special interests
or very large traders drive the market [which usually is the case anyway but it becomes acute a few particular times]

Technically coming Monday will turn up negative despite having lot of bullish air and Tuesday may remain neutral or positive to some extent as it is all subject how or which direction or intensity of the flow of Monday goes.
Whatever the case later part of the week appears very negative specially from Wednesday.

So plan your week very carefully. It would be very tempting to go long but this would imply a really very risky proposition because these markets that appear to be on fire actually could catch fire by over heating.

As suggested 2 weeks ago it was worthy to consider focus on few stocks that one is fully familiar with.

Despite today's energy being very negative anything is possible
Today you must be careful as 930 to 11 appears very negative.
11.30 AM cst onwards things may appear to change. 12.30 again negative and
then 1 pm another change. The end part appears to be very negative.
930 am
10.05 am
10.35 am
11.40 am
12.30 pm
12.55 pm

Please check the comments section always as we provide many tips and ideas and invite friends to post their opinions and current positions.
A few times when time allows I post some tips on stocktalks of seeking alpha.
This blog is copied and seen on about dozen sites now but if you are interested to interact please post the comments at http://astralguide.blogspot.com
On seekingalpha blog posts are posted irregularly.

+ GDX Gold miners etf could be an interesting swing play.

+ Gold may become good play soon. Will write the exact time and date next week. Today its just playing the market but it may follow the overall weak market next week but the real move may begin in about a week. If you can sustain risk it could be a good play now on but next week it may be down after a new high. I will think of it by end part of next week.

Will markets really correct ?

2010-04-21T23:48:00.002-05:00

We have written enough that the human 'will' always interferes with the natural flow of energy. In reality all energy is nature too but human mind has its own complex nature and we as collectives create different energy patterns.

All markets and business flows are driven by these two parallel energies.
Whatever is happening must happen and with what happens today will have a sequence next days. But the basic natural energy pattern is always prewritten to some extent and we customize it with our own created energy on collective level.

Thursday 22nd and 23rd would be very difficult days for traders.
Asian markets appear to have opened all in red and most European markets except a few may open in red.
You make your own decisions.
Next week could be even more steep.
We desperately need a healthy correction to the never ending bullish trend.
Will that happen? But what many traders or pros want or wish has nothing to do with what really happens or would happen!

Well frankly this would be a minor correction and we will continue on the same trend. The real intense correction is due later on.
For now let us focus on the day trading of some assets.

Please read the comments where we keep adding some updates. You are welcome to add your comments, views on any asset or timing.

Key potential hours for day traders:

9.55 am cst
10.30 am cst
12.40 pm cst
2.00 pm cst

There would be always some opportunities.

+ The intraday highs could create an illusion but I still see very weak market overall for Friday.
Next week should be much more weak than this current week.
I see that Nasdaq stocks could be very affected next week.
If you have any positions in mind please post your ideas and we can discuss and check. This correction is very difficult and not so clear. Technically you will notice strange signs on top.
I see next week very negative unfortunately looking at broad market, despite that there are some very powerful stocks and a few commodities that will perfom well.

+ This market is very amazing because there are certain very big players who are doing all they can to lift up the market defying natural energy pattern. But this is the most exciting part and which also clears that when too many people tilt and hope towards one direction, market goes the other direction:) You saw from so low to so high there is a lot of fire and lot of cooking:)

Trading markets on Wednesday April 21st - Entering Risky waters

2010-04-20T23:45:00.001-05:00

As predicted few times we projected 21st April as a high energy day for all markets. This is a good day to day trade but going LONG unless you are technically very sure and fundamentally knowledgable for longer than a day can be extreme risk. When we warn about some timing just consider this as red flag and
you may save your portfolio by not playing the frenzy and not believing what looks so promising. If you are impulsive and believe what you see and fall in the trap it would be hard to get you out.

We will inform you the best time to go long again but we are entering into very risky waters literally like the marshy hinterlands of Florida where Crocs the size of titanic can eat up even a dinosaurus:) You know what is implied here.
What will be appearing as a sunny weekend today may actually be only a surreal movie. Hope our scaring you should suffice here:)

The day's energizing pattern also preceded on 20th which was an extremely weak market yet sustainable for "few large" market makers, you probably know who, to promote their falling value and face:)

Jacking up the crude oil as many times we wrote is one secret way to harness profits for some vested interests who are actually behind the futures of Oils as hinted previously. Whenever you see these interests jacking up Crude oil futures do not trust easily that markets specially when the fundamentals are crying for
a corrective mode. When this happens some other commodities appear to be bullish too.
This is a very very confusing [weak] week and I feel the next week may follow this same confusion.
You will notice only a few commodities are moving and few very selective stocks or sectors will make strategic moves while general markets would be crawling.

So for April 21 as we wrote last week mark the timing and be very very careful and if you are desperately long put stop losses by mid day trading. I warn you that by 2 PM CST / 3 PM EST the scene may change drastically.

JUST FOR YOUR benefit I want to inform that 22 should be a key day when things will form a new direction and you know well what I mean if you are following the market closely. If you are flat or cash it wont harm that much then going crazily long and then losing the frock and shirt. Hey! How dissimulating yet so useful.

Some selective stocks may remain strong but those will be few and please check their sustainability for the 10 day period unless you are in for a longer time frame. We "should be" having a correction now but if the artificial
jacking up by "vested interests" continue they could sustain the trend artificially for few days BUT NOT FOR VERY LONG.

I see 22 onwards mostly "negative" energy and I will not even suggest you to trade at all unless you know what you are doing.
Any buying or contracts or agreements could fail even general business you conduct. Be careful from 21st evening. If you are in for any kind of contractual business please postpone it for at least 15/16 days. You will thank me profusely for this free advice. Please know all good things come free but our advice is provided because we want you to increase your portfolio and not lose it.

Asia and Europe : Most markets should remain strong on 21st. The US markets may open strongly too.
KEY hours CST
8 AM
9 AM
930 AM
1.30 PM onwards apply caution

I would be able to give some good plays on Wednesday if you want. There are few good day trades to play.

+
Today at between 2 to 3 pm specially after 2.30 pm cst check Platinum futures. Just for the day. July Futures PL 0N

19th to 23rd April week for the markets

2010-04-19T14:21:00.003-05:00

We had already projected this week many days back.
If you check the earlier blog post you will see what I wrote and you will notice it is happening as we projected.
The events that reversed the market on Friday will continue to impact the world markets to some extent.

The current week will remain weak and there are many assets and stocks that will remain weak and we could say two thirds of stocks may remain weak.
I had written clearly that 19th will have contrasts, moves and market will move up and down. It may end rather neutral.
20th Tuesday as far as my reading is going to remain weak or rather very weak.
21st Wednesday is an interesting day driven by some news or some event that will catapult the market up.
Rest of the week I dont see the markets up but rather neutral to down.

The next big move will not begin till at least 10 days.
As per last weeks post Sugar may remain strong till today or 20th.
Most commodities, except Platinum and few other precious metals may remain week.
I am not writing about Gold, Silver and Platinum for I have no view as yet.

Considering the overall markets it is probable that most currencies against the USD and Crude Oil may remain weak for the week.
I will try to post few more comments either on the blog post here or on comments section.

Please check the comment sections of most blog post for more clues and any new information.

Day traders must apply real caution because the market gyrations can be treacherous. You could try studying some Short bias ETFs that may work well in the current scene.

We are almost at the end of the trading day while writing this blog there is no big move is possible. In next few minutes the market may drop its gains.

Hope to hear your comments and ideas and we can discuss particular assets.

President has decided to fix the Financial system

2010-04-16T13:04:00.000-05:00

This is directly from one of the most informed presidents of the world, a constitutional lawyer and a teacher, leader and great thinker. I think we all should support his stand and clean the dirty mess created by some extremely greedy elements in the financial system. Of course this system boasts of some of the most genius of the world but we have many crooked elements entered and have been abusing this system. It is time to fix it once and for all. Here is a note from a wonderful human being and the President of the United States. Please join this noble cause and let us do our best to bring about overhaul and changes required to fix this system for a better future for all.
"
Barack Obama

Friend --

It has now been well over a year since the near collapse of our entire financial system that cost the nation more than 8 million jobs. To this day, hard-working families struggle to make ends meet.

We've made strides -- businesses are starting to hire, Americans are finding jobs, and neighbors who had given up looking are returning to the job market with new hope. But the flaws in our financial system that led to this crisis remain unresolved.

Wall Street titans still recklessly speculate with borrowed money. Big banks and credit card companies stack the deck to earn millions while far too many middle-class families, who have done everything right, can barely pay their bills or save for a better future.

We cannot delay action any longer. It is time to hold the big banks accountable to the people they serve, establish the strongest consumer protections in our nation's history -- and ensure that taxpayers will never again be forced to bail out big banks because they are "too big to fail."

That is what Wall Street reform will achieve, why I am so committed to making it happen, and why I'm asking for your help today.

Please stand with me to show your support for Wall Street reform.

We know that without enforceable, commonsense rules to check abuse and protect families, markets are not truly free. Wall Street reform will foster a strong and vibrant financial sector so that businesses can get loans; families can afford mortgages; entrepreneurs can find the capital to start a new company, sell a new product, or offer a new service.

Consumer financial protections are currently spread across seven different government agencies. Wall Street reform will create one single Consumer Financial Protection Agency -- tasked with preventing predatory practices and making sure you get the clear information, not fine print, needed to avoid ballooning mortgage payments or credit card rate hikes.

Reform will provide crucial new oversight, give shareholders a say on salaries and bonuses, and create new tools to break up failing financial firms so that taxpayers aren't forced into another unfair bailout. And reform will keep our economy secure by ensuring that no single firm can bring down the whole financial system.

With so much at stake, it is not surprising that allies of the big banks and Wall Street lenders have already launched a multi-million-dollar ad campaign to fight these changes. Arm-twisting lobbyists are already storming Capitol Hill, seeking to undermine the strong bipartisan foundation of reform with loopholes and exemptions for the most egregious abusers of consumers.

I won't accept anything short of the full protection that our citizens deserve and our economy needs. It's a fight worth having, and it is a fight we can win -- if we stand up and speak out together.

So I'm asking you to join me, starting today, by adding your name as a strong supporter of Wall Street reform:

http://my.barackobama.com/StandForWallStreetReform

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

Projection for 15th and 16th and beyond

2010-04-15T08:48:00.001-05:00

+ Those watching the markets know well that so much push by institutionals has crowded the top. The top is always very very thin edged and when too many at top, the fall is imminent.
This idea gives some traders enough fuel to go short and in this process many times they lose it all.
Now the problem is when markets go "naturally" the corrections are predictable and even a technical analyst with basic knowledge can smell the aroma!
But when the volume is dominated by very large few they can manage the top without dwindling the boxes. However we all know that all tops have some resistance and a roof to handle. This correction would be short lived but could be strong because most corrections are super fast. That is why speculating or trying to divine the tops by technical analysis or even by Moon cycle is naive and impractical.
There are many factors and variables to consider.
In my projections I not only include fundamentals and technical but also many other views which are too complex to explain. I keep harnessing my skills and certain "psychic" peeps into the markets because I am trying to co-relate the human will and the energy of natural forces.
Coming back to our current study of next 2 weeks, I do see big attraction right now on the bull side for right reasons but some big fish have different plans obviously.

I see 16th up as I stated many times and then 19th is a day of contrasts when there will be many buyers and equal number of sellers. 20th is a very negative day and perhaps some major event could happen around that time. 21st could be a feverish rally day, even though this energy could be used to sell so thats where I am trying to refine my work. 21st is the catalyst day and not the 19th in reality.
What happens after 22nd to 30th could be interesting.

+ Please read the blog of 14th and you will get a picture of 15th and 16th more.
The market may appear weak today but it will not drop much. It will add a few points probably even though some stocks may not do very well.
Friday is another rally day with surprises and spikes.
19th is another bullish day but with extremes and gains will be lost.
Now the big surprise is that real tone of bearish correction may only start by 22nd.

I will elaborate more shortly.
Today is the dead line for tax filing in the States.

For day trading be careful because of lower volumes or lesser liquidity in some assets.

I had predicted Sugar and Soy rise few days back. Sugar will continue to be strong till 20th April.

Will get back with more stuff later on perhaps but trade with caution.
I do not see clear signals to go short but if you are a risk taker you could engage in bit of risk.
I have postponed going short for few days.

Gold : My reading for Gold for today is not very great as it shows a move but I cant see direction. It may actually drop or rise and then fall.

Reposting the blog because I made a mistake in hurry and wrote 23rd Apr but I meant 22nd Apr. Will write more on this in a short while..

More to come

Markets to come on Wednesday April 14 2010

2010-04-14T08:16:00.007-05:00

Travels : Fairly good
Trades : Overall very positive may have high volatility

Today begins another positive day for the markets in general.
If you notice this blog regularly and follow it you will see that we mentioned
that some stocks were very important and prominent and it was somewhat better to go with equities than any other commodity or asset.
Today 14th April the market should be doing very well and if nothing untoward happens 15th should be very positive too.
We must add here that there could be a strange move and surprise and there could be a sudden drop.

As we discussed these days are kind of forming the top of an orb/ring for now as I see it. The technology stocks would be prominent for few days.

16th and 19th would be the right side of the top of the ring keeping the markets still up somewhat but with lesser energy.
The real major move should follow.
However to continue my intermediate view of the market which I posted last week please know that this correction, if any:) would be still a minor one and may not be as big as expected by some market analysts
and forecasters. It may be a moderate to high correction.
Because on intermediate level we are in a bullish upward move and this correction may be needed to go further.
We will post the timing to go long on short term.
Past month and half has killed many a portfolio of people who shorted before time.
So please apply caution before taking your decisions.
To give you a hint some particular Asian markets would be going down first that includes Pacific Asia and the rest will follow. Some Asian markets are sitting on an explosive and weak trend and their decline is imminent.
The largest of Asia Pacific and one of the largest of the world is Tokyo.
In Europe you probably already know it. The weakest market has been Spain but it has just begun to improve.
If all goes fine we will try to post individual analysis of each market separately at seeking alpha and
http://worldmarketpulse.blogspot.com

The volatility would be similar to yesterday.

Key reversals for day traders:
8.45 AM CST 9.45 AM EST
1.45 PM CST 2.45 PM EST
2.15 PM CST 3.15 PM EST

Gold : may make more moves next week. Will try to post more on it later.

Will also try to post more on few other commodities later.

NB: Pl know that today and tomorrow are shaky days despite remaining with high spikes. After about 11 AM CST or 12 PM EST market may make more steady moves.

+
I have done another study of a few major market indexes and unfortunately I do not see any significant decline even in April as the few days of correction may not be that great.

I am going to re-plan my strategy to go short because the interest of market makers is to take the DOW JONES at 11250 and S&P500 at 1250 and they would like to do that before end of this month.

Even if natural flow shows a decline from next week it may not really happen. Just beware of this potential.

+ For now I see Thurs and Fri strong and weakness begins on Monday sometime mid day. I will post more on my reading for the next week. But my recommendation is that going short too early or without confirmation may not be very good idea despite clear signals I receive for the coming weakness.

Can markets be maninpulated ? April the 13th Tuesday and beyond

2010-04-13T10:51:00.004-05:00

All markets are manipulated because they are run by human beings. Human beings behave with all their sentiments, feelings, biases and view points. Stronger ones can impose their sentiments or view points on others and passively large, who either dont have power or simply follow the lead. It is like the war of vowels and consonants. Vowels are just few but they make the consonants shape into words and create a language. Similarly market forces that are usually, not so obvious shape up the market trends.

Sometimes there are no rains and there is a dry spell and sometimes the rains are so persistent that one becomes bored to see so much water. This rally is like that persistent rain. I was studying on larger frame and I found that most of the times markets like human conduct behave as per the nature's natural course, like a river's natural course; yet at times, due to strong will of a group; sometimes the natural course appears to be forced or altered, like using scientific processes to make the clouds or rains etc. for example. This year so far there was one tweaking with nature in January and then second time in March. Believe or not a there were two events when the markets course was altered artificially. This does not affect day traders or long term investors mostly. But it does affect short to medium term traders who rely on technical charts to trade.

If you notice today is Tuesday and 13th, some people in the Americas consider this combination as negative even though Mars may not necessarily be involved on each Tuesday even though Tuesday represents Mars. In parts of Europe some people believe Friday on 13th day is a negative day. This superstition or whatever we may call it does influence some people and they are driven by these ideas. They do that because some times the history does repeat!!

Well now coming back to our market today the scene is already more or less projected or predicted. We are forming this week the top of a ring which means we still have 14th, 15th and 16th April. The peak should be on these 3 days for short term. I am looking for right timing but the best day could be either 15th or 16th I need to refine that.

As already posted several times even though we are driven naturally for a correction which is imminent from 19th because my reading for 20th to 28th is so clearly negative yet because of manipulative intervention we can never know that a falling kite can re-fly. It is like a bird shot by an [evil] shooter that starts re-flying. Sounds so good or may be it was the soul that started flying yet the physical aspect fell on ground. Yes that is the reason you saw anomalies in January and March for few days and many dead birds were seen flying.
If that analogy is used our sky is full of many large dead birds literally falling but lo and behold they start flying again. What a miracle:)

Find, research and share the best vehicles you could short.
I wont short some commodities for now because they would be receiving some of the capital out of sell off of general equities. We could discuss those.
Currencies are also forming a breaking point.

On 13th at 2 AM and 6 AM CST there were two negative angles that propelled markets to be down or some dead birds falling really.
Then at 9.45 AM there was a minor negative aspect involving Moon with Neptune causing depressive mood.

However the scene will change from middle of the day especially after 11 am and 1230 CST hence this late blog, because I knew day traders would be shorting the market today.

So watch out the second half part of the market and watch 11, 12 and last hour carefully.

Share if you are going to short on 14th, 15th or 16th or 19th?
If the natural course is followed we should be down big way next week on and it will continue for the rest of the month and spilling over to early May.

Going long on sugar and soybeans can be very exciting today.

Your comments, questions, answer and views are welcome.

NB:
+ Today at 7 PM CST check Platinum Futures. If I am not wrong there could be an interest reversal of the earlier session.

NOTE at 7.42 PM CST: As per above prediction the Platinum futures made 13 points move. People who cared to listen on my stocktalks brief at seekingalpha and this blog may have made good gain. If you still dont believe your choice.

+ The markets in Asia may open positive today and turn slightly negative after 12.45 AM CST onwards.

+ The futures of certain indexes and commodities may turn bullish this evening from 7.45 PM CST Onwards.

Monday 12th April - Starting another hot week of trading

2010-04-12T08:19:00.007-05:00

If you noticed Sunday evening as an earlier blog post forecast was all green across the board.
Monday an hour before open at about pre-market the enthusiasm over night declined and a few
European Indexes became red. Despite that day should pick up after the open but may remain
gloomy for few hours as the day may be news driven.
We had posted an intermediate forecast with some projections which still remains effective however
you may recall we repeatedly suggested not to short the broader market as yet.
This week important testing of broader indexes resistance etc. may happen.
This week will also be a catalyst for major commodities and currencies.
If you are long on some individual stocks keep a tab on your charts and you may even keep them
till 15th, 16th or 19th. But again I am for individual stocks right now.
Market should remain positive mostly whole week unless some very powerful events reverse the trend.
19th will be the catalyst and an interesting day.
Today day traders can have very good plays in the market in currencies, commodities and some
new hot stocks and some forever hot ones.
We still standby our offer to give clues on individual stocks but before requests are made please click
the follow link on right side. It is necessary to establish a link between two parties before offering
vital information.

Key reversal hours that may be useful to note:

9.00 and 9.25 am cst / 10.00 and 10.25 am est
10 am cst / 11 am est
10:30 AM cst to 11.30 / 11.30 AM est to 12.30 pm est Caution
1.30 pm cst / 2.30 pm est

Will add more information later on this blog. Your comments and feedback are welcome.

Sometimes I add new information or quick briefs on comment section.
Feel free to post. If you want my response you will get it.

+ Would you like a projection on Gold? We will be posting a view shortly. There would be a short term reversal of Gold commodity and obviously its ETF and stocks follow the course. Read comments.

+ Some stocks and assets would be peaking around 14th or 15th of April so be watchful and put stop loss or sell around that time if you are not comfortable. Some stocks would remain strong on 16th and 19th too.
To play safe best is to consult technicals of each asset and be very careful on above two dates.

+ Some of the hot assets labels are for swing of a 2 days or an overnight idea. Trading involves right buy time for each asset. Never enter a trade when charts are fuzzy.

+When you comment you could post your positions if you wish and direction if necessary and also your time zone. It is just an idea.

Market week to come and 9th April trading

2010-04-09T12:47:00.000-05:00

At times I get carried away by the wide spread opinion and start believing the perception we can call popular. But the popular perception is merely a perception and it does not translate to reality.
Why does that happen?
Because what we perceive may not be the real sentiment or feeling in our deep core.

Hence you may have seen that when you should have gone long you go short and when just one indicator shows an inkling you go short without looking at wider frames.
This divergence of perception and sentiment is very important to understand.
That is the cause of most of the failed trades or trades gone out of hand.
I could discuss that and write more on this on another occasion which I will write because that cleared and understood your trades will never go out of hand.
Now how does that apply to me in current perspective.
Well I see, technicals and then see fundamentals of certain assets and I perceive something but the sentiment inside are saying or rather yelling a different tone.

I go crazy. But in place of taking action I take a hot tea and calm and engage in research. My research shows me the real picture and I get shocked. How can that be? Well whenever I follow my research I win in trading. When I am divergent and foolishly believe the crowd I lose.

Please do this analysis in your mind in an idle moment and you will notice something similar.

My research shows some divergence from today to 19th April.
I already wrote my intermediate view few days ago and that is valid.
Now to focus on this week to come, I will try to post more precisely during the weekend. If you see my posts of past few days, you will notice that I repeatedly wrote NOT TO short this market in general but work on specific stocks or assets.

Why because broader market is now confused and entered into a consolidation.
This can trigger weird spikes that you may not believe so either you get out of the broad market speculation for some time or just focus on a few assets that you understand more.
Today I see two possibilities : One today 9th APRIL will be forming a critical top and second we will have a top on 14th.
To get me out of that confusion I will perhaps wait for few more days before I go short. I rather wait than get in front of a running train.
After the opex day things will sure turn around but there is a possibility that some key assets begin to lose ground this SUNDAY. This Sunday is more critical than Monday because Asia opens when we have Sunday evening.

I am studying some key assets and stocks and some other stuff to make a decision.
Now if you can sustain risk and go short today on broad market you may not lose much but you will have to wait till week starting 19th for any real impact.

Today as you could see market is hot. USD Index caused that key commodities and currencies made a big move and this propelled some stocks to be heated again in Asia and Europe and what we have in NY and Chicago is a reflection of that despite collective mood to expect a correction that is due.

For the rest of hours today apply caution and expect some changes or moves
between 2 PM to 2.35 CST or 3 pm to 335 pm EST.
Then just before the close the scene will change substantially.

Despite all my efforts I could not post earlier.

What to trade when the markets turn around

2010-04-08T09:50:00.003-05:00

As you could see there are always some stocks, Exchange traded funds or related Bonds and a few futures and currency pairs always fair better when the broad markets are down.

If you go to http://worldmarketpulse.blogspot.com we could post a few hot trades for the day or swing positions for trades that could make sense.

Obviously most people think in terms of shorting the markets in confusion but I think that is too premature to do. Consolidation or the first steps to correction do not mean that shorting can mean instant profits. There are risks involved the same ones that are in the market that is beginning to go bullish after a long red period.

In this blog I would hint the best times to go long or short with confidence.

Markets today :
As posted yesterday the first hours yesterday were still hot because of institutional buying but then the news dropped a big bucket of water and as predicted markets shook and the minor market quake continues to tremor.
There is energy but most of it is negative so it wont help the bulls today mostly.

If you are day trading keep these hours today in mind for potential reversals
9.55 AM CST 10.55 AM EST

10.05 AM CST 11.05 AM EST

2.07 PM CST 3.07 PM EDT

2.35 PM CST 3.35 PM EST > STRONG

You may like to study the posted labels below the posts.

PS: Note at 12 EST
It is about Mid day in NY and there is heavy buying by institutional buyers. The hedge fund 50 that I track shows amazing bullishness.

Some of it is also day trading but overall understand that when the big guys sell they do it in such crazy fashion that retail and even larger traders lose their shirt.
It is still not time to short because Fri is another difficult day. Next week's pattern is also mostly consolidation at top. So we still have 7 more trading days for the significant move.

An intermediate term projection - Very important for position traders & speculators

2010-04-07T11:51:00.000-05:00

In good faith and for the benefit of all my friends I want you to keep an eye on any long positions from now on because the energy surely is high but the volatility in next days may not aggregate much. So taking a chance on long positions may be a huge risk.

My projections may be 24 to 48 hours here and there due to lack of time in going into mathematical details but I would be posting day's projections hopefully too on my regular blog at http://astralguide.blogspot.com

This projection is based on my own research and I know lots of people just put up any guesses or ideas based on large number of esoteric and bizarre indicators and of course some so called doom gloom types just speculate sensing fear.
This is all a bull. If you are a real trader putting his/her own money in the game read this message carefully.

Since my system is back tested I do rely on it and I do not consider any other system because after testing for many years they all failed unfortunately.
I lost big time on other people's advice, wonderful graphs, charts and colorful commentaries. 97% of all those forecasters are nothing but pinheads with something to chit chat but in the process of believing them majority of people lose big time, mostly small retail traders with limited capital.

I am refining my system and I cant say it is perfect but so far it works for me. It may work for you. I also notice that most of my readers are passive and they do not feel any necessity to provide feed back but that is fine! I am posting this for general public so anyone can benefit from this projection.

Today 7th April would be a start of a volatile week as we already posted and this would form a critical top over next days.

If you are long you may like to put stop loss or liquidate on 9th of April for the correction would start from 11th/12th April approximately.
8th April may be very volatile and may end up negative.
9th April would create an impression of very bullish market and its outcome would be rather very bizarre. I would write more on this later in another blog.

Frankly my personal mathematical calculations show bullish days for 12, 13 and 14th for now BUT you must know that Human will can alter the natural energy at times and hence the writing for first 3 days of next week is still fluid or rather on watery marshy surface.

Having said that if you are not very strong hearted and you do not wish to risk you may sell off your longs during any of these days as per your positioning as it all is subject to individual assets.
My overall reading is that we begin the correction next week any day.
Next to next week 19 to 23 I only see one up day and another as a high volatility day and rest down. That is fine for day based speculative ideas but not for swings or intermediate term.

I would hopefully be posting another long term projection later on one day.

One thing you must recall always that MARKETS can empty all pockets. Markets can become so hot and burning that they force you to remove all your covers or markets can be so cold and icy that they you seek cover and can not find it. Before that unpleasant state, best is to get out and stay on as a spectator.
My contention is that if you stay in cash you can still plan some trade later, but if you are gambling and lost it will take a long time to get a good trade and you may go back to square one. Do not believe the marketing literature and these make-rich newsletters ALWAYS. Use your own analysis. Yes it is ok to follow some wise people but only to know what they perceive. The final decision to trade must not be based on others viewpoint because their reality can be totally different than yours.

Believe or not 90% yes OVER 90% of day traders and general traders lose money and they go without capital for long time. I am writing this blog to save these traders their hard earned capital. You would do a great favor to yourself by sending this blog message to all your trading friends if you have any and also make a print out of this one for you and one day you will be grateful for this advice.

I am writing all above for me and a few friends but if you understand the markets you will seek some cover and take care. Individual stocks that you know well and have some technical edge may be good plays for this and next week. ALL rest is going to remain shaky.
I would welcome any of your comments. You are free to bash me as I deserve a good beating always for saying the truth.

Day trading made easy

2010-04-07T09:20:00.001-05:00

We are entering into the most volatile period from today till next Wednesday so this week is ideal for day traders and demand caution for position traders.
The volatility is not bad if you know how to measure it and use the energy of swings.
No we are not at the peak yet. As said yesterday there is still fire in it.

I do not like to offer guesses or speculation. Today will have many positive aspects like I wrote in comments section yesterday. Tomorrow is going to be a difficult day but let us focus for today's key hours that could help you trade:

7.35 am cst was a very good hour as despite gloomy news futures did go up.

9.25 AM CST / 10.25 EST
11.05 to 11.30 CST / 12.05 to 12.30 PM EST
1.00 pm CST / 2.00 PM EST
2.31 pm cst / 3/.31 pm EST

If you follow this blog and write your views in comments we can make this blog better.

Interesting day for day trading

2010-04-06T09:26:00.000-05:00

Hope you are trading already. I had some problem in accessing the blog and Google yesterday and this morning due to an error in local providers network so I was not able to post in time. As you can see the overall mood among traders is a wait to see the market correction. Today onwards there may be a few hints of the coming correction due to weak energy market today but there is still fire in the market.

Nontheless day traders always can find some opportunities by looking at technical indicators which do help while scanning or looking at minute to minute moves.
Today at 8.40 am cst / 9.42 est there was good energy but than an opposition came at about 9 AM cst / 10 est
It would turn out a low volume day due to lesser energy overall.
You will notice some particular stocks will make new reversals and moves.
Overall indices may not be that active.
Key reversal hours that may be of help

12.09 PM CST / 1.09 PM EST
1.25 PM CST / 2.25 PM EST

It would be interesting to watch Gold futures and stocks because from tomorrow there can be a beginning of a trend change.

Talking of Stocks you will notice that despite the trend of macro indices some sectors or sub-sectors/segments do better than most stocks. If you focus only on those trendy sectors or sub-sectors for the day or a 2/3 days swing period you could still win irrespective of the broader market.

More later.

April 5th Market moves for Day Traders

2010-04-05T08:18:00.001-05:00

Hope you had a good weekend. While we do focus on daily moves which are vital for day trading sessions, it is important to keep a watch on the longer term moves from 1 day to 3 and 7 days to 30 days, that is on daily and weekly moves.
If you follow this blog you will surely get a clear signal of larger macro market reversal.

For now as already reported March's energy continues to spill over April and would be prominent for next week and half, with typical ups and downs and waves.
I would be gradually offering very specific signals with exact dates and hours on certain stocks, commodities, futures and major currency spots or futures.
You may track this blog or one at http://worldmarketpulse.blogspot.com for clues.
You may suggest some particular asset and if you are following the blog you will get a very quick response. See comment section for any buy/sell setups.

April 5th is an interesting day of contrasts. Starting off with a very positive good energy, expect a mid day reversal at about 11 AM CST or 12 Noon EST.

The key hours to watch:

11 AM CST > 12 PM EST > 5 PM GMT
2.35 PM CST > 3.35 PM EST > 8.35 PM GMT
3.00 PM CST > 4.00 PM EST > 9.00 PM GMT

I would be posting a new blog probably for 6th of APRIL for Asian and European Markets and would be adding more shortly. Happy trading!

April Fools day can be pretty good if you trade with caution

2010-04-01T08:15:00.002-05:00

Trading day: Unexpected surprises, not that positive as it may appear
Travels : Use caution, Not very positive. Good for Fri and weekend but use caution Saturday or the day of Saturn.

A large number of traders are expecting for long time, [Long time in Financial markets can mean a day or few hours] the markets to drop their buying and go into a correction, which apparently did start last week but the persistent buyers may keep the short term top for some time so before going short study more and dont be impulsive.

One very sure thing where most traders lose big time is reading from multiple sources and get convinced by some very smart looking images and words and ruin them selves by taking premature positions.

The real winners and losers both miss on timing but the real winners have an edge and that is that they know when to time their entry at the right time. This refinement is the name of the game and if you have been missing this edge you need to read this blog carefully and short list the sources of information and analysis
which must be studied, followed by your own regular analysis that you know well and that has been time tested.

Traders who rely on their decisions usually succeed more than those who work on mere tips. The tips can be scary, horrible and outright fantasy of someone.

We started this blog to provide an edge to some day traders and I would share some of my analysis that is based not only on traditional readings but also on various alternative studies that actually work.

As any blog or interactive site or exchange of information relies on readers feedback if I dont have feedback I dont feel motivated to do much.
Nontheless I would help some friends who may be thankless or uncommunicative but I still would do my best to mitigate their losses and help them gain more.

I posted my quick view on the month of April and May recently and in time I would give you more concrete info
if there is any request.
The energy that started yesterday evening was positive.
Todays reversals that can help you trade

Market on Collision course - a lite projection for friends

2010-03-29T13:44:00.002-05:00

Technically all major market charts show a great top. But do not be deceived.
April month may still have some heat left from March and it may continue even though all indicators currently show we are just about a top.

I have no positions right now but if you are excessively bearish just be careful.
It can be treacherous and dangerous.
I may be wrong but April may remain strong till about 16/20 April where it should form a top. April 3rd week to Mid May the markets will remain very bearish.

I am posting this so that some of my friends who are overly bearish just because technical indicators in these days are clearly showing a top and a wedge, may protect themselves!!
I hate to project long term on a blog but I am doing it because I do see a strong market for first 2/3 weeks in April.
I will post more precise daily briefs if there is any interest.

GOLD: Review carefully your positions on Gold around/after 6th/7th April.

Currencies : Dont be extremely bearish on USD as yet.

I know you may be thinking that I am crazy to be so optimistic but I rather be realistic in informing. It is wiser to do day trades only on clear days.

In days when the market interests are colliding it is better to stay quiet and in cash. I would be posting clearer and more focused micro market timings in next days so watch out. There are opportunities for day traders at least 3 to 4 times a week. However on clouded days stay on the sideline.

PS: I would be posting my daily report for market timing asap.

An alternative analytical & predictive mechanism

2010-03-25T18:14:00.000-05:00

Despite the manipulative and slightly artificial markets at time, there are ways to foresee and predict the markets flow.

First of all we can not expect markets to follow the technical analysis tools, traditional predictive methodologies and natural readings of pattern formations including Fibonacci ratios and waves.

Second we should first look at larger picture, then the smaller pictures that fit in the larger one and gradually we can pinpoint to a microscopic point.

I do include all above obviously but also factor market sentiment, obvious even though at times fictitious or doctored "news" and of course some proprietary custom built techniques that throw the light on the darkened and shaded future to come.

I do not believe in posting on this blog my long term forecast for a variety of reasons. However I would be able to give orientation on next few days in some cases. Frankly it is very difficult to deal with anonymous and unknown readers. So when I have sufficient number of readers and to people whom my information can be of utility I will post valuable information.

Meanwhile I am testing on general market timing, Specific markets, sectors, futures and other assets including individual stocks and I may post sporadically on some of the potential trade setups.
So far I have been satisfied with some of the results that I have seen in my back testing and I would be pleased to share with some real people but there are not enough real people so far so I do not post for now.

Briefly I want to say that it is possible to foresee into short term of hours and few days with some precision. As I already posted that it is rather much easier to forecast on larger time frames but working on extremely short or micro timing is very arduous task. Henceforth I have been focusing only on short term timing.

Please go with care and this year as I said before will have two very sharp cycles and some very powerful surprises are waiting to happen.

The hidden forces of Markets and short term trading losses

2010-03-23T12:10:00.000-05:00

Please read this if you are a very short term and micro trading "Human" market operator.

If you are a regular market watcher and analyze it by assessing the economic indicators, volumes of trades and overall Economy or read it technically looking at turns, twists, support, resistance or decipher the repeating patterns, and you still can not translate the scene, on shorter term, it is because there are hidden forces that drive markets having variety of interests. It is much more difficult to know the micro trends than macro trends because of speed, sudden news, time bending events etc. Believe or not it is easier to foresee and see the larger picture than the micro moves that can take away your portfolio's portions slowly and many times suddenly. The results can be worse if you trade options and futures.

What are these hidden forces many people talk about.
The reality of the market remains as real as the time on your clock. More than 80% of traders are not really making any real money and if they do make some gains they are depleted with quicker speed than they were achieved. Only very long term traders or investors on the right side remain in the game for a longer time. Majority of short term traders, (more so those who do options and futures), are thrown out of market as if they were foreign objects on a busy freeway.

This is a reality which most people do not want to accept and this living in denial only ends when the portfolio is reduced to a fraction.

There are two factors :

Programmed Trading : There are hundreds or thousands of large size computer clusters that are working overspeed churning numbers that analyze the volumes, technicals and fundamentals interpreted into numerical results and the results are not even necessarily seen by real time human beings. This very large size computing power actually is nothing but an artificial intelligence, that is also known as robotics that take decisions for their masters and they decide when to get into a particular asset and when to get out.

This may obviously be factored on very short term technicals.
Despite that most managers working on micro levels notice that their plans or even basic perception of market trend gets clouded. The sudden spikes can put many traders and managers out of their stops or those with mental stops see their gains lose quickly.
The sudden actions of multiple computers run by about 4 to 5 dozen very large institutions bring havoc to the markets on short term and many many traders get ruined or get out of place.
Computing intelligence buys large chunks of a currency or index when another set of certain currency or index is up and vice versa. Few times some sectors assets are sold off instantly when certain factors are translated as imminent "danger". This is so fast, nimble and quick that even the smart traders sitting on edges can not handle and they are thrown out of markets.

Institutionals : There are two kind of institutional interests. Those who are based in the United States and are represented by private and many times disguised interests. There are others who are based in Non-USA markets but they have interests with special intent.

There are two type of manipulations done on very large scales that can turn a market up or down quickly. The first kind are simply Casino operator like underwriters and grabbers of all possible gains who use all possible tactics to book the maximum which is like extracting juice of any recently ripen fruit and the rest of the pulp is thrown to markets, which smarter traders try to exploit.

The rest what is remaining is like a fresh dry bone which is thrown to common traders who chew on it for some time, excited over the technical indicators and charming, alarming or "interesting" news. All this is a facade, a show, a staged dramatics that is done each day to make some "very large" interests richer. 30 to 40% of market actions is generated by this group. Much of the news is also fabricated, fake and manipulated.

The other type of interest that are based in foreign shores have deep seated secret interests and they work in slow motion but intensify at particular points, to culminate the action.
These interests jack up or drop a market by manipulation a large number of futures, indices and stocks in a very systematic way which common market watchers can not even remotely fathom. These interests can take a few "commodities" or currencies up and down as per their interest is. Over 30 percent to at times 70% of the market action is done by these secretive, hidden interests who manipulate the markets to maintain their own very large vested interests.
Many currencies, commodities and stocks are moved by these people in a perfect harmonious fashion like an orchestra. It is hard to detect these actions unless you are an insider.

Considering all this any fundamental analysis and even technical analysis can fail and you will be thrown out of the markets because the usual patterns fail.
This may sound fantasy or conspiracy theory to some but most professionals know this reality and they are fully aware of its modus.

The type of analysis I have been developing does take into consideration these hidden and occult factors. Now the question arises, if astral movements impact and influence the above secretive portion of the real markets? Yes it does but it is not easily detected by the common astronomical/extra-terrestrial aspects that are formed. That is why you will notice that people relying on positive aspects find that the market is behaving negative and vice versa. The polarity can change and it does change constantly but without prior information.
The Plutonian and Martian influence is so devilish or rather sudden and extreme that people are blinded by self interests, greed and extreme obssession and this can imbalance the NATURAL energy flow of the markets and our lives. The radical, the extreme and strange produces surprises.

If you want to remain in the markets, do not be fooled by technical charts Only, or fundamental factors only or simply the traditional macro-economic news and indicators. All this is helpful only about 50 % of the times.

Tuesday March 16th Crucial Trading hours

2010-03-15T23:04:00.001-05:00

Travels : Fairly good, happy return
Trades : Tumultous and abnormal sessions. High risk.

The energy that usually drives the micro trends is dissolved; very weak yet when there is extreme manipulation by larger players, exceptions and anomalies can happen like this week. Markets run in short and long term cycles but when there is an unnatural intense trend, usually the outcome is also similar e.i. usually intense. Anything can be expected.
This is a period between two very strong short cycles and
it is difficult to plan or project for any direction and the best one can do is sit and watch.

Trading day key times of March 16th for Asia Europe and USA

There is a strong energy at 2:35 AM CST which means 7.35 AM GMT and little bit late for the Asian markets. Then there is another burst of energy at 4 AM cst or 9 AM GMT.
Then at about 5 AM CST 10 AM GMT it could turn negative.

The next key moves that are possible on 16th Morning

8:20 am CST > 9.20 AM est 1:20 pm GMT
9.00 am CST > 10.00 AM est 2.00 pm GMT
10.30 am cst > 11.30 AM est 3.30 pm gmt
11.45 am cst > 12.45 pm est 4.45 pm gmt Mostly negative

If you notice the retarded effect that is happening for quite some time whereby the real impact is seen after a prolonged lapse. This does happen in my opinion like a ball effect, which I am studying for more clarity and correlation with past. I find that this is slightly random because human will on collective level at times is very motivated and it is like we dont know where the ball will actually fall back yet in a known area.
The patterns that are formed usually do repeat but there are always exceptions, like the exceptions we see in weather patterns. That happens because of wider background shifts.

Non the less coming back to our markets, let us hope that the coming days can give some time for the shorts to get a cover and bulls can have some respite enjoying their gains. So we have a balance of sort that can favor all:)

March 15 2010 Key day trading hours

2010-03-15T08:34:00.003-05:00

Travels : Not very friendly Need to be careful
Trades : Not so strong nor good

The new Moon is not the best day to begin a journey!
What goes up must come down but when at top there is always resistance that holds., it takes time to break the resistance or accept the reality.
There is strong push to make a weak market to make it appear as a strong bull market. Technically and seeing the energy flow, the market should fall to a decent level.

Key hours that can be very useful for the day

Mar 15, 2010 12:09 PM CST > 1.09 PM EST > 5.09 PM gmt
Mar 15, 2010 12:35 PM CST > 1.35 PM EST > 5.35 PM gmt
Mar 15, 2010 1:20 PM CST > 2.20 PM EST > 6.20 PM gmt

Subdued but interesting

Mar 15, 2010 8:35 AM CST > 9.35 est
Mar 15, 2010 9:46 AM CST > 10.46 est

NB: I would be posting the next day's projection one day in advance or at least night or many hours before. This may also include projections for Asian and European markets.
Hope that works for everyone.

Launching World market Pulse blog

2010-03-12T12:47:00.002-06:00

We did not have any new post for Friday the 12th March for there is no change really to what we posted on Thursday.
Please be oriented that be cautious on your current positions. Markets are trying to emulate the 2009 pattern but that can work for some time but not for long.
As you can see US Dollar index is weak currently and most currencies against it are bullish. Copper is merely up for the new jolt in Chile, one of the larger copper producers.
For now we are not posting any forecasting or prognosis but as posted few days ago and yesterday Fri and early next week is "slightly" weak energy.

The flow that started on 28th February was so strong that it spilled for literally 2 weeks. This is fading for now but its fire will rekindle again next week however at the end of week probably.

Whatever the case just be careful with your positions, short or long or whichever asset.

Wednesday March 10th Intra day trading timing

2010-03-10T08:26:00.001-06:00

Travels : Fair use caution Not negative but very forceful day
Trades : Subject to skill, not very positive as per our indicators despite so much bullishness. Somewhat positive and somewhat negative intra day activity.

Despite very powerful energy around there is lot of heat and this can cause force.
When too much force is gyrating fast more heat is generated that can cause overheating.
Errors made in haste, speaking too forcefully, sharp words spoken on impulse, or accidents occurring due to restlessness and impatience are all possible at this time

Please know this is an attempt to offer key and pivot hours with some precision to help the day and position traders in general on all markets. Later Asian and European hours would be available. For now let us focus on the current Center of the Financial universe which is the belt between Chicago to New York.

Key hours to watch

11:00 AM CST > 12:00 PM EST > 5:00 PM GMT caution
12:55 PM CST > 1:55 PM EST > 6:55 PM GMT
2:10 PM CST > 3:10 PM EST > 8:10 PM GMT
4.00 PM CST > 5:00 PM EST > 10:00 PM GMT
5:40 to 630 PM CST > 6:40 pm to 730 pm EST > 11:40 pm to 12:30 am GMT

The timing is for initial guidance however one must rely on technical indicators and personal exprience and wisdom to trade.
Have a good trading day friends!

9th March 2010 not what you see

2010-03-09T08:12:00.002-06:00

Travels : Worrisome Critical moments not as expected
Trades : Critical and deceptive day for traders

What you see may not always be what you get.
What appears so positive may not be so.
Yet one does not have to be negative even when much negative passivity is in view, but be prepared for activity at an appropriate time.
One thing which many analysts and even some of my friends looking
at skies seeking harmonies on the Earth's material world, forget is that the confluence of a day at times may not be very strong yet the pent up energies of past days can be concentrating and then hit on the unexpected day. This happened during first few days of Jan this year and then to give you a recent example on March 5.
The rally on Friday should have been on Wed or Thursday but the energy concentrated in late afternoon on Thursday of which we informed emphatically and this
spilled over to the morning of Friday despite being a rather quiet neutral day.
The influence of positive or negative energies at times take time to create a critical mass to demonstrate its apparition so be very careful.

Astral event of Tuesday early hours at about 3:30 AM EST are not so harmonic so its energy will spill over to the trading day in NY.
Today like each day willl produce some opportunities for day traders and those who are very nimble and quick to read can benefit however it is not a recommended to go long or buy big time as this is a deceptive
day.

March 8 2010 Slow Dance of Mars

2010-03-08T08:20:00.001-06:00

Travels : Be very careful slightly negative
Trades : Roller Coaster day

If you notice anything you started around or after 20th Dec something has been stalling or slowing down. This should impact more if you are an Aries or Scorpio or have Mars in Leo than you feel something more. The impact can dry or clog the blood, cause earth quakes and people feel impulsive, impatient and one feels depletion of energy, extreme highs or lows and similar.
This is caused by Mars mainly. Even though the red planet stations on March 10th it takes about 2 months to neutralize its influence. So From now to May you may find violent surprises and implosions/explosions in minds, hearts, markets and life.
The polarities can switch or change.
From this week to May should be a tumultous time with new polarities and one can go crazy fathoming highs and lows. If you bought anything from Dec 20 to Now it would be better to evaluate and sell it.

NOTE: Anything bought from 6 AM to 11.15 CST may go hayware so better stay quiet or watch and plan. Day traders should keep an eye on the direction.

Friday March 5th 2010 Day of hot hair

2010-03-05T07:57:00.005-06:00

Realistic projection of the trading day at http://astralguide.blogspot.com

Travels : Challenging, Keep caution
Trades : Not so positive as it may appear. Any rally could be short lived so use extreme caution today and Monday.

This blog is to help the day trader to provide a few indicators on timing and the direction to some extent. This also helps position traders to enter/exit or plan their positions.

Sometimes natural forces are going to one side and direction and the human forces and their collective energy is going on opposite direction, this causes a strange stormy condition like you see in SouthWest Texas where warm winds of Gulf merge with Chill coming from North and this creates sudden hot or cold conditions. When that happens in the markets anything is possible but that warm day can be changed suddenly by cold chill and at times that can cause rain.
This should be the case today and Monday so go with caution.

Despite all there are key hours

March 4 2010 an interesting trading day

2010-03-04T07:37:00.005-06:00

Travels : Good
Trades : Beneficial yet a slighly challenging day for Day traders
There should be some kind of momentum forming around CST 9.15 am [10.15 am est]
There are opportunities each day and today should be no exception.
It could be a slightly quiet day despite confusion yet more enthusiasm than tumultous wednesday. Be alert for trading opportunities, there would be quite a few.

Around 9 AM CST -/+ 15 min there could be some triggers

Futures: Watch Gold Silver copper platinum palladium, Sugar Rice Soybeans Corn today
We would discuss some equities sectors and particular stocks or ETFs in a later blog.
We should be posting more in advance shortly.

When you notice our watch list or hints you decide the direction as per your own analysis, unless a clear positive or negative is given. When mentioned negatives that could be an opportunity for shorts.
Most of our indicators are meant for day traders in principle. We are refining the work to throw some more light on swing and short term projections. Please keep in touch as blog is updated regularly. Idea is to share realistic and worthy info that can make sense and profit. When you comment you may write your biases, opinions or thoughts too. We are working hard to provide a clearer picture each day and shortly for whole week.

Days to come?
I want to inform my friends that today at the end of the day there MIGHT be some action at the last hour.
From my analysis of various indicators Friday may be a down day continuing slightly to Monday. Tuesday there will be some positive action which will spill into Wednesday. So prepare your positions and if questions please post.

Shortly we should be able to write in advance about the coming day for selective Asian and European markets and some overnight Futures markets for the EU/US based traders.

NB: If you are really interested to make real profits, please follow this blog as we will show you some research work for a few of the ETFs, Stocks and in some cases some commodities. It is hard to talk to anonymous or an invisible person than a real warm one:)

Trading and knowing before the BIG moves

2010-03-02T13:00:00.003-06:00

All timings that were posted on http://astralguide.blogspot.com in past 7 trading days have been 99.5 % accurate.
We advised last week to buy on Thursday or Friday and sell on Tuesday Wednesday this week. Few dozen traders who followed have reported me that they have made huge gains. People have also made huge gains on Copper, Gold and silver as per our suggestion.
We suggested Cotton and Coffee futures yesterday and some people have made a huge gain.
We also suggested yesterday SLB Schlumberger stock and it has proved to be well too.
If you are really a serious real time trader join this blog and rest is your choice.

Is it only the Moon that plays the market?
Moon surely influences the nerves of all beings. But there are larger planetary bodies smaller and bigger than ours and these have their repulsion or gravitation and they drive all living forces on our poor planet. The same is reflected on all of us and consequently to the market. The problem is not that. Problem is how do we read into all this cryptic darkness. I have been a serious researcher not for years but for a few decades and I have devised a mechanism that can give a projection. I am now working on refining some major stocks and so far my testing is working well. We can project successfully, and believe or not 70 to 90% works. Of course we must consult the other aspects too like news of the stock or technical which is better.
E.g. I was studying C Citi and I find that it will make a major move from now to the end of this month. I have the exact dates when we can buy and then sell or keep. I am going to do some more tests. I will share few of them on my blog.

Of course we do not recommend or suggest it is merely a reading and you can act only with your work to back up. We can not be held responsible because there is no claim to make nor we are saying we are going to be always accurate. Nobody can do that. It is all a game of probability yet it is better than the game of dices that most people use to buy or sell.
I find that hilarious and then they lose big time and sulk, suffer and swear. We can not trade UNLESS we can make an intelligent decision. Buy or sell on impulse is naive and is like a lottery.
If you have any particular stock post your comment and we can discuss that.

NB: I request that you please follow this blog even though anonymously, as it is completely safe and your identity or email is never visible. We will disable the anon posting shortly. One must know with whom one is communicating. It is very essential as we will reply to friends who FOLLOW just for the records.
Hope you understand. We will be posting some of the requests on blogs too.

Tuesday March two day crucial trading hours

2010-03-02T08:10:00.004-06:00

Travels : Caution

Trades : Ok. Subject to your personal luck and skill market will provide opportunities.

It Can be a day of interesting surprises. Everything is possible.

All times CST Central Time

9 AM Turning point
11 to 11:13 AM Interesting
12 PM Turning point
1:38 PM Harmony
2:15 PM Balance

Sorry I have been confused with timings and from Tomorrow I will post with more precision as I have had some conflicts with GMT EST and CST and day light hours.

PS: As you may note we can post times for certain specific markets if possible.
For Nasdaq + NQ + QQQQ I should have posted 12.13 12.53 AM 2.38 3.15 pm
and for Futures tonight 9.20/9.30 and 10.12 PM and 710 AM for Wed all CST.

Please know that we can not succeed with assumptions. Perceptions formed based on experience are more useful than what we hear or read or believe. Planetary influences can be very treacherous and that is why the treacherous moves in the markets, that are presented each day or hour.
What you were thinking may not be true!! So always keep a contrarian argument to harmonize the perception.
A retrograde or direct planet can reverse all what others have been calculating.
For example, Mars turns direct on March 10th but its impact may be due after 2/3 days.

PS: Position of SLB has come out to be as it was showing yesterday. People who listened carefully last week have made very good gains today so you can not complain:)

I will post from tomorrow TIMING for Nasdaq, Dow Jones and in some cases S&P as that could make more sense. I have been posting timing of general market and this has to be adjusted as per the needs and can vary 20 to 30 minutes -+.
More later...

How to separate the gold from dust

2010-03-01T13:59:00.001-06:00

There are so many views, so many patterns to study and so much to digest for an average trader or manager. It would be much easier if we focused on certain sectors, commodities and some stocks to make it work. I am working on some specific areas now as that could be useful for many friends. If you have any suggestions for any stocks, commodities, futures or fx, please comment and I would surely give you a reading and quick analysis based on my proprietary mechanics that I use to project further.

One sure thing we all must know is that we must absorb and digest all input from all yet decision to trade must be refined and rethought many times by us.
I am just focusing on today for now but I have been given an idea as to study individual commodities and stocks that we could play besides the wide covering indices etc.

Long term plays can only be sustained by well off and well healed and for traders with budget we should be focusing on one day at a time and max a week to come of course it does not hurt to project a month to have clarity.

The idea is to make some gains if we can not do that all talk is just nice talk.

How do we foresee into future? - dissoloving the myths of capital markets

2010-02-26T15:02:00.000-06:00

As all experienced traders and investors know that it is literally impossible for anyone to really predict the market course minute to minute. It is not possible and if anyone claims that he or she is hallucinating or a good sales person!!

Fundamental : Please know that all the fundamental analysis, news, information and piles of books, newspapers, sites are useless if you do not specialize. The generic information is nothing but fluff and of not of much use to real traders and investors. IF that was true all great readers would be excellent investors.

Technical : Technical analysis is pretty good because it already factors the above and including the sentiments of the markets. However it takes a long time before one can actually device or perfect a system that really works or results in reliable indicators. Technical readings or any other reading into market is done with our biases and we conclude and judge by our knowledge. Knowledge must be equaled by experience. I know many technical analysts who know nothing about markets and their readings or million line stories are nothing but a maze of junk. You can forget it because you can not make a decision simply by these long stories.
The only way is to do it yourself slowly and gradually and apply it yourself as per your needs.

Feelings : Many people just work by their gut feeling and their absorbed knowledge, info and together we can call it the sentiment; that one has about a particular market or asset. If we rely only on this factor we are doomed. When entire or majority of the market relies on FEELINGS we are doomed for sure and the course is predictable.

Waves and Mathematics : Yes it is all part of nature because we are nature. Yet waves and mathematics, Fibonacci ratios do not really predict a market. They can give us an idea for some clues and some support or resistance etc. picture.
However just relying on these may not be very wise because these are just factors that we may consider. They do not make or break or drive a market.

Esoteric ideas : Many people have funny ideas. I see them using their cat, dog, a sand jar, tea leaves, Indian, Chinese, Mayan and other holy crap and balls etc. All this is as good as the water that is drained in your kitchen sink.
All this does not work in reality. It is just our own subconscious that drives all this mumbo jumbo and nonsense. Most of it is entertainment.

Astrology : 99% of astrologers that you read are actually merely copying someone's ideas or basing psychic kind of ideas that do not make any sense. 99% of astrological readings that you find on the common web sites, magazines or even commercial books is nothing but funny literature for gullible people with little brain of their own. YOU KNOW WHY? Because it is not serious nor the astrologers are serious. They are mostly doing it to pass time or get by to manage a living out of it. Most of it is fictional.

Then what is it that works?
There is a very minor segment of esoteric astrologers and seers who know deeply about the false layers of materialistic smoke that is out there in form of currencies, economies and systems. Most of these systems are man made just to run lives so that some people who are very clever can enrich, live a good life to fulfill their egos and rest of them just are used as fodder.
Out of this minority there are just a few people who really KNOW the secrets of the universe and they can see into past, present and future like a common driver can see the road ahead.

This segment is popularly known as Financial and Mundane astrology but frankly it is much abused too. Most of the moronic stuff you find is unrealistic.
I can tell you that 99% of the very expensive and 10k an hour guys are nothing but clever business people who are abusing others for their personal benefits because they just speculate.

Yet there are some seers who can see through the veil of unreal and real.
There is a way to see into future. This can not be explained in plain words BUT it does work. We use an inexplicable yet real system that is based on eternal knowledge which is neither ancient nor modern because it is timeless.

There is a way to know the basics of our man made world and the real natural universe. This digging and seeing is a very delicate art and science. It is a science because it is based upon real LAWS. These laws are not made by moronic individuals but by higher creative forces which ordinary human beings can not fathom.

We will elaborate on this issue in a later session. Till then we must calm down, not be greedy and shed all fears. That is the only way to live! Once you can live normally you can always win, not only the markets but your life's achievements in a single shot. One has to first close the eyes and dissolve the junk!!

Friday 26th Feb Trading day to come

2010-02-26T08:02:00.000-06:00

Travel : Get back home safely but overall not that bad
Trades : Not THAT bad.
Similar forecast as travels. Could be worse but thank for whatever in hand even though a bit of shocks and surprises.

It is repeated that this blog post is an orientation for friends who day trade futures, currencies and equities. However we will have some indications for future. We do not recommend buying or selling any particular asset or market.

The most important thing for a day trader is to know the TIMING.
The right timing can be the most important element in most cases because whatever the technical charts say, things can be totally different than expected.

Time factor alongwith a hint of direction is enough however it is vital to have in foreground a good knowledge of the market, observed through fundamental or technical analysis or both. At times any of the analysis provides no clues or even a remote hint. Serious astrology can offer a window into good timing.

The KEY hours :

9 AM CST Important to watch

11 AM CST Negative

12 AM CST Few spikes around Noon CST

2 PM CST Very interesting

4 PM CST Interesting. Closing hours are more interesting than opening hours.

March will be a month of great surprises. Just prepare well!!

Markets to come on Thursday

2010-02-25T08:15:00.002-06:00

Travels : Good day
Trades : Not SO bad afterall

When we post here please consider the entire day of 24 hours.
When everything is dark, even a minor spark appears so visible. Everything is down but green returns after red and brown.

Treasuries, USD index, Jap Yen, Platinum is up.
Today is another day of minor surprises.
Not a good idea to suggest when and what to buy/sell as that is subject to your own personal choices and situations and familiarity with a sector, commodity, indice or area of speciality. I strongly suggest to check blog as we can add more information at later hours, and also click on Follow.
Your feedback is very important. Readers energy should be felt to offer more details.
Once known what readers wish will post more specific.

KEY hours crucial for day/position trades. Be careful. Could be a good time to buy - Today and Friday - for the next week.

9.18 am CST. 20 minutes -/+
2 PM cst - 45 minutes -/+
Other interesting hours :
11:50 AM
1230 PM

18:00 PM

Metals like Silver, Gold, Copper will be volatile and low to highs and may offer good opportunity to position for scalper, daytrader and swings.

Additional : Know that we are not in any real trend. It is all volatile and subject to so many variables. The energy is dispersed and not together.
We are entering into a very major direction change or reversal on intermediate term yet we must watch each day carefully and in this environment trading for the day or maximum a swing of 2/3 days is wiser.
My indicators are for the day mostly that also covers evenings and early hours. But if enough people are there I can post for swing.

Do Ben and Barak have answers to the Economy?

2010-02-24T08:33:00.005-06:00

Travels : Not good really
Trades : Very bad for most. If you are nimble and can make quick decisions yet today is a neutral day or rather negative to neutral. Any short lived rally is not real.
The real buying time may begin tomorrow even though not as good as on Fri. I will share with you timing for Thurs and Fri.
KEY HOURS: CST
9 AM somewhat Positive 30 min -+
1.30 to 2.15 PM 20 min -+
A small window between 12.30 to 1.15 pm some moves

Sorry I am late today because I have been awake much of the night, doing lots of research into past recessions, market crashes of past centuries and I find that neither Ben Bernanke has an answer nor the President of a country. The economies are moved by sheer invisible forces that reside in the collective subconscious that are governed by dormant forces which drive the inner impulses.

Commodities : I do see some real good moves on few agri commodities for next days.
If there is any interest I will post for your benefit.

FOREX : There is a long setup for 2 currencies.

Will be adding more later

Moon Mars play this morning

2010-02-23T09:48:00.000-06:00

If you read news you see the consumer confidence index and if you are a Forex trader you see that the dollar index is high, but if you are an astrologer you see the Moon and Mars play like kids at 9 am CST and this means extreme volatility and bi polar swings.

The market today and tomorrow is going to be very shaky and a rough ride!!

At 1 PM cst today there will be conflict.
At 2 pm there is some harmony. So make your decisions.

You could buy some dips with stop losses.

Stocks on 23rd Feb

2010-02-23T08:03:00.002-06:00

Travels : good day
Trades : Not very bright

Markets in general equities and commodities will remain weak or rather not very trendy yet there would be 2 main spikes for the day.
Early Morning markets will be gloomy.
The first hour will have some spikes around 9 am and then at 2pm.
I am not going to post more specifics for now.

I can post more specifically later on some Commodities and Futures if someone asks me.

Copper Futures

2010-02-23T07:51:00.000-06:00

I was watching Copper market Monday and I did take a realtime futures position during the day. Unless you have something at stake you dont feel the market. However keep in mind that we can only gain or lose as per our own personal chart or emotional karmic setup. As I said despite you knowing in advance you may still lose. It happened to me as I had my position without any stop whole day and evening and at 11.40 PM I had to put a stop loss to prepare to close and at 11.42 I was stopped loss and a min after that Copper made a sharp 6 point move. Monday had to be a day of loss for most people.
The market had 4 up cycles despite being in decline overall since the European session had already been down.
As per I had posted the market did make moves sharpt at 11 PM CST.
If you want to see the copper moves, you will see that sharply at 11 pm CST on 22nd Feb Copper made a huge move from 328 to 334. Then at around 5 am 23rd Feb another big move from lower to higher.

Today there will be a move around 9 AM and 2 pm.

Copper Futures Monday

2010-02-22T12:56:00.001-06:00

I had my astro clock bit confusing because it seems I was not sure of day light hour difference. I fixed it now. Currently looking at Copper.
It had a decline around 9 am cst.
1o to 11 AM was favorable but at 12 mercury saturn conflict so bit confusing and again at 2 pm Moon against mer/sat.
March Futures fell from 335 to 329.
Copper has some favorable move tonight at 11 to 5 am which means Asian market may pull it up on 23rd Morning.

When uncertainty hits the markets

2010-02-22T10:28:00.002-06:00

I was aghast and shocked last night when looking at conflicting planetary moves for coming day, yet futures that were all into greens. I thought it was because of USD indexd that most was green but my planetary numbers were telling me that Monday is a down day. I do doubt many times a day if the astrology or any other predictive science can actually do foretell what is to come? At times technical or fundamental analysis of any asset will tell us the clear route to future.

YET despite all, all that is expected sometimes as per our "wishes" or desires or will does not seem to happen.
Today was one such day. I was resisting to post today but I did. I will post my readings frequently for the benefit of many of my friends. It is geared for traders and investors who believe in a second opinion, and who prefer to mitigate any potential losses because in my opinion all that is not lost is actually a premium.
Yet losses do happen. Even when when we know the course of the market. Even when we are in a clear trend. We can still lose!! I will write on that again because this is the question many of my friends have asked me time and again.

I will post my readings. Read them with skepticism or with belief you still must make your own decisions based on your own system. No system in this world can be as good as your own.

NB: If you are a micro time trader and you have any special commodity or sector of equities that you want to work, please let me know. I try to post general trends for now based on S&P 500, Gold and few other major commodities. I will try to read into some key sectors too.

Market on Monday Feb 22

2010-02-22T08:54:00.000-06:00

Monday : Negative for trade and travels

The Chinese new year began with a Tiger like run. Each cyclic move is going to be pretty tigerish, aggressive and unpredictable at times this year.

Monday will be a day of uncertainty, fear and shocks.
The expected by many may not be there.
All times CST.

10 AM CST will provide some respite for a short time.
There would be a window of respite again at 12 noon.
Respite for Bulls here that is.
Around 11 AM CST a minor Gold move and then later this evening in Gold futures.
Monday would be a negative day for travel and trades.

Be careful and trade with caution
Expect positive changes today at 8 and 11 pm and then Tues morning 1 AM 5 AM.

Jay the Wizard and use of occult sciences to predict the markets

2010-02-19T17:19:00.000-06:00

Friend Jay Strauss is a wizard for sure. He has developed his own system that includes real practical experience. Geared for the day traders, his blog is populated always with friendly people.

I have decided to post frequently on various markets some of my analysis for the benefit of hard working traders. I will be frankly using astrology to write a prognosis without any biases or other noise.

So far in my experience of working with few very large clients I have found that if we use Financial Astrology in concordance with some technical with fundamental picture in the foreground, we can form some knowledge that can be used to guide us in the darkness. In reality Astrology in Greek means the science of Light.
Obviously some innocent people who do not understand it they ridicule it but we are driven by the influence of not only Earthly gravity but also by the powerful magnetic force of other stars and planetary bodies around our Sun and Earth.

I would be posting some brief hints herewith for broad market and some key commodity markets including the Currencies.

Over 50.000 million dollars lost by Smart traders at large firms. How to speculate and destroy individual or an institutional portfolio?

2010-01-29T20:50:00.000-06:00

There is a fine line between gambling and trading. Gambling is based on an intuitive idea that by betting on an uncertain outcome, winning ultimately is possible.
To take a risk in the hope of gaining an advantage is also gambling but so is trading if you really observe. Fear or Greed or guilt can make a trader into a gambler. The gamblers are losers in 99% of cases. Unfortunately traders who have clues but not the complete knowledge are also the losers in most cases; for example most novice day traders do lose most of their portfolio and almost 85 to 90 percent of derivatives or option traders do lose most of their portfolios.

Over 50 billion dollars is lost, in very recent past, by some of these so called Savvy [ignorant], Professional, smart Traders [Gamblers] at large firms which could have been saved if they had some real professional guidance or serious supervision. Of course these firms spend large budgets for teams of analysts, both technical and fundamental analysts and dozens of professionals who watch the markets they trade in. Despite all rule books, controls and supervision, BILLIONS [that is 1000 million] are lost by single traders.

It is hard to find the difference between a casino and these large mostly public firms that can lose thousands of millions of dollars. Are you being guided by a Gambler or a gambling inclined analyst or a trader? Are you employing any advisor or trader that tends to work on mere intuition secretively. Before you or your firm lose all their assets please review how and whom you trust for trading advise.

There are so many visible and invisible forces that guide the TRADER for good or bad. I have seen in my life no matter how many piles of information, analysis and how much budget for trading decisions, yet people who execute or are responsible for large sums of money, do lose.
We could save millions and billions by having secretive, hidden knowledge in different time frames. It is time to incorporate OTHER sources of knowledge in addition to the typical tradtional sources of knowledge to make the RIGHT trading decisions that result in gains.
Obviously if you are destined to lose due to your karmic and checkered past, deeds and actions or uncontrollable emotions, no amount of analysis or forecasting can save you. But those who are sensitive, intelligent, deep and intuitive they make sure that each trading decision must be evaluated before each execution.
If you are a self directed trader at home, part time trader, trader working for a large bank, firm, institution or anyone who makes decisions, please THINK that each dollar lost in bad trading decisions is capital lost. It is surely agreeable to allow some legitimate small losses while trading but losing to such a point where you destroy yourself financially or your company forever is unpardonable. Please understand that in most cases thousands of lives of families, individuals are at stake for each trading decision. So before executing be wise, look around. It sounds like the crossing of a busy highway or a very trafficked traffic signal by a pedestrian where just minor overlooking can kill or maim the pedestrian forever.Trading decisions at times are like that.

See here the list of very large trading losses that have occured in just recent past.
These are perhaps only tips of the bigger icebergs that we could never find or read about. I am sure many large firms incur major losses but they find some crafty way to offset or hide them.
In many of these cases, it is mostly a single individual found to be involved in the loss making trades, which shows that the management was either no aware or the supervising individual or team was dormant or non existing.

and of course thousands of Madoffs and Ponzi schemers which are in thousands, in every city, every neighborhood in any country who allure people for their savings. I do not understand who are bigger gamblers the small ponzi schemers or big traders with gambling instincts who lose it all and destroy themselves and their employers.

An argument for Financial Astrology

2010-01-29T19:26:00.001-06:00

There are many charlatans, fake and superficial people who profess to practice Financial astrology but their studies and analysis is not necessarily verified or really authentic but there are some good and really knowledgable masters who do know what they are talking about. Their hints, indications and at times cryptic messages can mean a lot for the interested parties. I have been studying astrology since I was a kid and it is more than 30 years that astrology has helped me not only knowing myself but people around me, the world around me, my own past, present and future and of course the various markets I have consulted, traded and worked in. CAN WE REALLY BLINDLY trust an astrologer or what he is saying? The trust and faith only occurs when we do interpret the sayings of an astrologer correctly for our benefit. I have seen that even after knowing some predictions quite in advance, people still can lose money simply for lack of knowledge of technical or fundamental foreground knowledge or simply for poor execution.

It is not an astrologer who can misguide anyone but it is the reader who must know how to use the provided information.

Does it really work?
It does and that is why the famous saying popular in the 4 hottest capital markets, goes : Millionaires do not employ Astrologers but the Billionaires yes they do...

If you really are informed you may note that most big crashes of the markets had been predicted much in advance but most people or the crowd usually do not heed such things as these are rejected as nonsense. But the serious few who are serious to make money on day to day basis as professionals or who are open minded in all respects not only follow astrology but any other discipline that helps them achieve their goal.

Financial astrology (also known as business astrology, economic astrology, and or astro-economics) is the practice of relating the movements of celestial bodies to events in financial markets. The use of astrology in financial markets is not consistent with standard economic or financial theory, but might be considered heterodox economics. The scientific community considers astrology to be a pseudoscience.

Financial astrology is sometimes applied in the following ways:

+ Predicting major economic trends as they relate to certain cycles, specifically on the cycles of outer planets
+ Helping an investor find the best industry to be in for a particular period of time based on major planetary configurations
+ Identifying the best stocks to own during a particular time period
+ Identifying the best date and time to buy or sell a stock, asset or market
+ Correlating the Astrological aspect to the movement of stock market in day trading.
+ The practice carries the implicit "belief" that astrology is valid and influences human behavior. Although astrology is generally regarded in mainstream Western thought as having no logical basis, advocates of the efficient market hypothesis would also make the same claim with respect to most forms of technical analysis.

Evangeline Adams was one well known practitioner of financial astrology. In 1929 she predicted that the stock market would continue to rise in price. On Labor Day, September 2, she told a reporter for radio station WJZ that "the Dow Jones could climb to heaven." The next day the Dow Jones reached a record high that was not reached again until November 1954

And who on the Wall Street hired the noted astrologer Evangeline Adams? None other than J.P. Morgan. You may not know but some of the top Fund managers and other people related to capital markets do consult with a few astrologers.

WD Gann had said that Astrology was the natural law in the markets.
William Delbert Gann (6 June, 1878 – 14 June, 1955 - also known as W. D. Gann), was a finance trader who developed the technical analysis tool known as Gann angles. Gann market forecasting methods are based on geometry, astrology, and ancient mathematics.
Opinions are sharply divided on the value and relevance of his work. Gann wrote a number of books on trading that continue to help people who have some depth in this science.

L.J. Jensen, one of the founding fathers of BUSINESS WEEK, Now Bloomberg BusinessWeek, was a noted astrologer.
I can name many big names here and many noted astrologers and their amazing works, to which they dedicated their lives.

Financial astrologers who understand the markets have big customers in Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai and few other top Asian markets.
