Went short crude at 9:30 DTO 64.20 and held to exit at 65.80. Crude should have rallied with the scare but did not. I don't want to go short until either the stock market decline begins (I1 peaks or DJI declines<10,710) or Brent crude declines beneath 78....
Stock market retested yesterday's low this afternoon. Bought DDM long dow at 47.50 and sold at 47.70 and 47.64 later. Will re-enter on the long side if SPX rallies past 1168.75. I1 is up through next Friday, which is a holiday. If DJI declines below 10,710 then I will short early. Since this level is near an important low 10,695 I will await a bounce for a 5% position. 10,710 is below the important high 10,730.
In case you haven't noticed I rely a lot on moving averages. Hardly a stochastic or RSI in my toolkit. Here is another on that I use when the stock market is in a congestion zone (like this afternoon). The red line plus .19% should indicate breakout:
I despise this market. It's just built on lies and when the stim runs out and the lies cannot cover up underlying conditions it will fall a ton. So, even though I expect U.S. stocks to rally from here in accord with I1 and critical resistance, I do not want to carry stocks over the weekend. I'll play the breakout Monday. I won't be comfortable with the stock market until the green line is exceed by .56%. That is way far away.
Currently I am short silver 1.5% ZSL. Maybe metals will rally on war scare, in which case it will not hurt much. Silver stop is beyond the 90-minute M/A which is 17.10 on a 90-minute close.
Flat crude, flat stocks pending breakout.
