S&P 500 Emini Futures

Our Tweet issued on the 28th finally triggered. Not a big move but predictable in the sense that it found support not once but twice at the 1395/196 Weekly Trading Zone.

High Frequency Trading - Should We Slow Down?

By 2010 high-frequency trading accounted for over 70% of equity trades in the US and is rapidly growing in popularity in Europe and Asia.

A July, 2011 report by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), an international body of securities regulators, concluded that while "algorithms and HFT technology have been used by market participants to manage their trading and risk, their usage was also a clearly a contributing factor in the flash crash event of May 6, 2010".

Emini Podcast For Tuesday August 28, 2012

And you thought Monday was quiet? The 1405/1406 Weekly Trading Zone has defined itself so far this week as support and now as the center of gravity. The low of the day came in the first few minutes down at 1403.50 and then quickly reversed to put in the high of the day up at 1412. That's a daily range of 8.5 points. After that it was flat, followed by more flat. If trader's are simply laying low and waiting for a big news surprise out of Jackson Hole they may be in for a surprise they aren't expecting. Even Draghi has decided not to show...

Jeff Miller over at Seeking Alpha summed it up quite nicely when he tied the following two headlines together -

Emini Podcast For Monday August 27, 2012

Today was another example of mediocre, directionless trade. We came within 1 point of teaching the 1417/1418 Weekly Trading Zone on the upside, and by midnight found support inside the 1405/1406 WTZ. Overall range for the day on the S&P 500 Emini Futures - 11 points.

The Week Ahead In Emini Futures

Friday the S&P 500 Emini Futures made a stunning recovery at our lowest Weekly Trading Zone as discussed in the Thursday night Partner's Meeting.

The Week Ahead In Emini Futures

Last week we discussed just how close we are to all time historic highs in the S&P 500. Friday's closing price of 1410.50 (inside a Weekly Trading Zone) puts us roughly 140 points away from the highest levels ever reached. Some would suggest that given the anemic economic conditions which currently exist world wide, something is a little off with this picture. 

We wrote an article Trading The Golden Cross earlier this year. It stated that from a historical perspective markets do rally in Presidential election years. Over the past 112 years (28 election years) the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has produced an average gain of 7.3%. Toss out 2008 when we were already in the midst of a recession and it jumps to 8.8%. Two-thirds of the periods were positive for the market, while election years with major losses were rare. Election years that showed double-digit gains outnumber those with double-digit losses by nearly 3:1 – and only one of those double-digit losses occurred after 1940.
