Good Evening, The market continues to be in a wait and see mode with the regard to the China trade negotiations. Albeit, it did have a slightly positive bias again today thanks to benign inflation numbers that have investors feeling like the Fed won’t be in a hurry to increase rates. By and large stocks are in a trading range and moving within that range on a day to day basis in reaction to the latest headlines. Of course, China related news gets top billing…..

The days trading left us with the following results: Our TSP allotment posted a gain of +0.27%. For comparison, the Dow added +0.46%, the Nasdaq +0.08%, and the S&P 500 +0.30%. Praise God for another day in the green.

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Neutral, F-Neutral. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +5.01% on the year. Here are the latest posted results:

 Now lets take a look at the charts. All signals are annotated with green circles. If you click on the charts they will become larger.
C Fund:
S Fund:
I Fund:
F Fund: The F Fund generated an overall Neutral signal today when the PMO and MACD moved into negative configurations. Two or more negative signals or the 5 EMA below the 50 EMA or 200 EMA  or an SCTR below 40 generate a neutral signal. Any three indicators negative accompanied by both or either the 5 EMA below the 50 EMA or 200 EMA or an SCTR below 40 generate a sell signal. A buy signal is generated then the 5 EMA is above the 50 EMA and the 200 EMA, One or less indicators are negative, and the SCTR is higher than 40.
I’m happy with our allocation. Our task remains to monitor our chart for the S Fund and carefully observe how it reacts to the current trade news. That’s all for tonight. Have a great evening and may God continue to bless your trades!
God bless, Scott Sunglasses

    Good Afternoon, The sky is falling right??? Well…..that all depends on your point of view. One thing we can all agree on though. This is a difficult market. It is not a pleasant market to trade.

    Good Day, You can read about anything you want to read about the current market. If you have a certain point of view you can find an article to assuage your feelings. It’s nice to feel good, but that kind of feel good doesn’t necessarily make you money. Just because you can find someone who…

    Good Morning, I hate writing about things like this. Nobody really wants to hear it but it’s something that must be done. Are my message boards flooded? Oh yeah. You’ve got the combination of an unprecedented global event coupled with the fact that a lot of folks that are trading now never experienced a market…
