Emini Futures | Trend Line Basics

The S&P500 Emini Futures continued to climb despite weak housing start numbers. How long will this trend stay intact? As with all trends... until it's broken.

Trend Line Basics

Trend lines are simple yet powerful tools. They are used to highlight the general direction of price movement for whatever time frame is currently being observed. Trend lines are based on the idea that price moves in trends either up or down. It is assumed by technical analysis and common sense that prices will continue in the direction of the trend until the trend is broken.

Emini Futures | Fibonacci Made Simple

Fibonacci made simple is akin to Jumbo Shrimp. In other words, "Is that really possible?" For the uninitiated, let's turn first to the man and then the math.

Who? - Fibonacci, or more correctly Leonardo da Pisa, was born in Pisa in 1175AD.

What? - Fibonacci is perhaps best known for a simple series of numbers, introduced in Liber abaci and later named the Fibonacci numbers in his honour.

The series begins with 0 and 1. After that, use the simple rule:

Emini Futures Quiet Ahead Of Fed 03/12/12

Trading was lackluster again today on Wall Street ahead of a Fed rate announcement which comes tomorrow, Tuesday March 13, 2012 at 2:15pm ET. The S&P500 Emini Futures spent the day session inside a 7 point range settling below 1368. Once the Asian markets opened we saw a 7 point move on Gloex in the first hour.

We've posed this question many times on the Radio and it seems to be one that simply isn't going to go away anytime soon. What happened to the engine that once drove the world's economy? Are we naive enough to believe that our economy and markets have become so stable there is simply no price fluctuation? Or is there something else at work? Something powerful enough to keep the markets in check despite the bullishness of buyers to drive it higher or the bearishness of sellers to knock it down?

Emini Futures Trading Range 03/09/12

The S&P500 Emini Futures spent the majority of today's session churning inside a 9 tick range. Not a 9 point range - 9 ticks. We are in the midst of rollover, there are solar storms raining down, Greece continues the default dance and Iran is playing hide and seek with enriched uranium. That should create a bit of volatility don't you think?

Is this the quiet before the storm? Are we putting in a top? Something bigger perhaps?

Emini Futures Rollover Into Solar Storm 03/08/12

US and European Markets staged a continued rally into tonight's solar storm. The storm is part of the sun’s normal 11-year cycle, which is supposed to reach a peak next year. Solar storms don’t harm people, but they do disrupt technology. And during the last peak around 2002, experts learned that GPS was vulnerable to solar outbursts.

There is also a theory that along with disrupting technology these solar storms can have a dramatic effect on the financial markets. The Atlanta Fed commissioned a study of this phenomena in 2003. According to the report stocks tend to underperform during the days following a solar storm.

Emini Futures Stage Recovery Rally 03/07/12

The S&P500 as well as the Dow Emini Futures both staged a very respectable recovery rally after suffering their single largest daily sell off of 2012 yesterday. With the exception of the second hour of today's Wall Street session, volatility has been visibly absent from the mix. Melt up might better describe the action than rally.
