Whipsaw's Account Talk

[Whipsaw]

Holding through the Inauguration [ ] at this point, hedging against the historical weakness associated with that. If this sideways action continues, will look for a quick hit, ala Big John and Burro, before the end of the month. Will be away from my workstation the next three weeks, so will have to make any IFT decisions in the evenings :-/

Whipsaw,

Send me email address and I'll send you the spreadsheet. It's to big for an attachment.

The training course is going well... though I don't like being out of the loop during the day. Saw the weakness this morning, wasn't counting on the afternoon strength. Trump is going gang busters on his agenda, wondering what the market impact will be? Aren't the fed types still skulking about? Futures are a little whacky right now, can't get any idea from that. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

 

[Whipsaw]

Jumped in today, I should have move in with RF, cest la vie! I didn't see DBA move in, its good to see she's on the tracker now. At any rate, now the DOW is through 20K, should act as support right? Futures look good right now. I'm down in the 700s! D: RF is killing it at 13!

S&P just broke above 2300 but no trumpets or confetti! :smile:

 

[Whipsaw]

OK, now I'm in, post pop... will have to hold at least 'till February hits for trade preservation purposes (and to catch RF), looking for some consolidation for a day or two then more strength... We shall see.

Good luck WS. I'll be rooting for you from the sidelines. The pundits I follow say weakness through the end of the month and into the first few days of February. Hopefully it will just be sideways action and not the dreaded drop. Now go out there and kick some butt!!!

 

[Whipsaw]

Yep, there's a little bit of weakness alright; last year same time there was another leg higher then a healthy drop, followed by a big climb. Sticky pants deployed at this point.

 

[Whipsaw]

Not a good time to be on the road :-/ Looked like things were turning around with the regulations actions today, now futures are pointing straight down in alignment with Asia... will likely have to eat this trade tomorrow. Not a good way to start the year.

This is Whipsaw! ITF 100% G COB, in the blind! I hate flying blind... maybe an up day for the exit? I think the market is in the storming phase of the forming, storming, norming, perorming group dynamics continuum...

 

[ravensfan]

Tough pill to swallow WS, but you will recover. Keep your chin up!!!

 

[Whipsaw]

No worries RF, took a 1% haircut, could have been worse. I think I was in the 1100s with a negative YTD yesterday! =:-o Glad to get a little back at the end of the day and positive YTD again.

 

[Whipsaw]

Nice pop today, jobs up, unemployment down; now how will the executive order for financial deregulation figure in? Happy Super Bowl Weekend everyone!

 

[Whipsaw]

Still cooling my heels in the G fund, looking for an entry point; some weakness in seasonality these next two days and then later in the month. Some of the charting vids Nnuut posted reflect longer term strength in the trends beyond the day to day noise. May deploy on upcoming weakness for a longer term methinks.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Good idea! Me likes the way you think!!!!!
I am waiting for Slow Stochastic to hit below 20. Might be a little longer but it will get there. Just watching day-to-day for that entry point. Of course I also look at the EMAs, EMA slopes and crossovers, Bollinger bands, and MACD (weekly and daily).

I also like to listen to Ira Epstein daily but I really like to hear Chris Ciovacco on the Friday evening post that Nnuut posts. Chris has indicated that Long term is definitely looking good; but I am such a short trader I really must keep an eye on the daily prices. But Chris C keeps me balanced with his analysis and longer term outlook.

Hope you have a Great DAY!!!! Best Wishes to You and Everyone on Their Investments!!!!!!! :smile:

Not a good week to be out of the office. Wanted to move in two days ago, now its another pop to the top. Now what?! D:

 

[ravensfan]

Well we took out the Jan high in both the S&P500 (C fund) and DWCPF (S fund). Does that mean we chase profits or wait for a better entry? :blink:

 

[Whipsaw]

Tempting entry with the move up again today, missed the cut off today, so this week is a wash for Whipsaw. Will be checking out some vids and taking a fresh look come monday, it'll be alright. Have a great weekend everyone!

You as well my brother...Monday is the start of a brand new week and new opportunities...

 

[ravensfan]

So Whipsaw is it time to stop fighting the trend and get in to this thing or are we going to wait for a pullback?
