Eurex EUROStoxx Futures- DIZZY

Technically the MKT has produced a major positive signal into the upper extreme and will need to hold structure if it is going to avoid a drop back into a digestive trade. Key off the 2741.0 Inflection Pivot for an indication of the session tone. If the MKT is going to hold structure it will maintain a trade above here. If not the contract is vulnerable to a retreat down to 2695.0, if not 2603. Notable resistance at 2787.0 will gauge any new strength.

On the SELL side UP FADE signals are valid but REVERSAL strategies are a better option. Have resting limit orders off support inflections and use aggressive position management to lock in any unrealized gains on any REVERSAL trade. DIR and DP BREAKOUT strategies are aggressive but do have the potential to profit from a quick negative move out of the extreme. Use tight position management for these strategies as any unrealized profits can be erased quickly by the underlying positive momentum.

On the BUY side accept DP FADE signals after confirmation. The MKT is extended and may search for stops before it resumes its Bull move. REVERSAL strategies are a better option. The sharper the break, the better for an entry with the expectations that the MKT is going to revisit the recent move high. BUY DIR and UP BREAKOUT strategies may need to be "worked" as the MKT is extended and has the potential to produce some starts and stops.

EuroSTOXX - NEUTRAL POSITIVE SHIFT

Technically the MKT is in a NEUTRAL DIGESTIVE position with a positive bias above 2856.0 Inflection Pivot. The MKT has produced a positive signal and if it is going to influence today's session the MKT will maintain a trade above this price point.

On the SELL side BREAKOUT strategies below 2856.0 are aggressive and but do have potential to sharply turn sentiment back to the opposing digestive extreme. Expectations should be for the MKT to make its move early in the session and not look back, holding structure most of the day. If the MKT digests prior to making a negative move, it is more likely a squeeze on the longs to FADE. SELL FADE strategies against 2890. are aggressive as well and if they are going to work, should do so on the initial test of resistance. Repeated tests or "confirmation" are more likely to give way to a higher trade. SELL REVERSAL strategies are recommended off the session initial major resistance levels only as the MKT potential for positive trend shift. The probability is to the upside today so don't get stubborn selling strength.

On the BUY side accept FADE, BREAKOUT and REVERSAL strategies off major inflection points. BUY BREAKOUT strategies above the 2890.0 resistance pivot should just "go" and not look back, so keep risk parameters tight. FADE strategies off the 2873.0 Directional after positive breakout signals are good opportunities as well but expectation should be for the MKT to quickly move back above violated resistance. If the trade just "hangs around", it is likely a signal that more digestive action is coming and a retest of support should be expected. Be more aggressive with FADE and REVERSAL strategies at the 2856.0 Inflection Pivot, targeting the opposing digestive resistance. Below this price point wait for 2nd or 3rd test before entering off support rather than stepping in front.

Note: The MKT is in neutral so "sloppy" conditions with "false signals" should be anticipated. Have a plan for any squeeze. Don't get stubborn, however, if the MKT starts to hold structure and gets into trend mode as the contract may just be expanding its digestive parameters producing a one way trade into the close and new extreme.

EuroStoxx 50 Index - Trying to Make a Difference

Trading below 2844.0 puts the MKT back in a soft digestive trade down to 2817. Keep it tight. If the underlying positive momentum is going to resume it will do so from here. If not sentiment turns negative targeting 2763.0 on any negative turn of events.

EuroStoxx H'10 - BULL TREND ACCELERATION

** BULL TREND ACCELERATION **

Technically the MKT is in a BULL TREND ACCELERATION posture and has produced a big positive signal. The MKT should maitain a trade above the 2883 Inflection Pivot and "run" to a new level if the signal is valid.

On the SELL side REVERSAL strategies can be executed at the 2971 and 3076 resistance levels following an exhaustive signal. Expectations should be for an immediate exhaustive turn with the MKT quickly moving away from the area. A gradual decline following a reversal signal and it is more likely just a pause before another round of buying, so lock in any unrealized gains. SELL FADE strategies against 2953 and 2971 have potential but wait for repeated tests, with the best opportunity not violating the resistance level. Consider rolling long on any stops with this strategy. SELL BREAKOUT strategies below 2883 are not recommended but can be used as a signal for a FADE against Directional resistance.

On the BUY side accept FADE, REVERSAL and BREAKOUT strategies above the 2883 Inflection Pivot. BREAKOUT strategies above 2953 early in the session may have issues holding structure, so respect any break in momentum. BUY FADE strategies off 2883 are recommended over REVERSAL strategies as the MKT is expected to hold higher structure and any failure should be considered a potential negative corrective shift. The MKT is aggressively bid which should keep pace throughout the session if the TREND ACCELERATION forecast is going to play out.

Note: The worst-case scenario for a MKT in this technical position is to go higher early in the session and then break all day. Be alert and recognize this. If you have > 3 loser long trades, consider taking the next sell signal, anticipating a corrective turn. Remember in this technical position if the MKT is going higher, it should just go. If not, there is the potential for a corrective break or digestive trading environment.

BULL TREND CORRECTION SIGNAL for SP, DOW, MidCap400, 5yr, 30yr, BOBL, BUND, DAX, EuroStoxx and FTSE

The Strategy Based Trading approach is the focus on the applied strategy over a specific market. Define a strategy that you are comfortable with and apply that strategy in MKTs whose technical state is in line with your strategy criteria.

Today we are going to focus on MKTs that have produced a negative signal against an underlying positive trend or a BULL TREND CORRECTION signal state. The question, is this negative signal going to follow through or is this just a 1 day event and the underlying positive momentum is going to resume. The price point that answers this question and determines this "sentiment shift" is the session Inflection Pivot. This is the price point that defines the technical state from being a negative "corrective"posture below that price point to a positive BULL TREND position above that price point.

Trading below the session Inflection Pivot or what JS Services calls its REVERSAL LEVEL or R Level is negative keeping the CORRECTIVE SELL signal in play and the MKT vulnerable. Trading above this price point is an indication that the negative vulnerability of the MKT is reduced and there is a better chance that the underlying positive momentum is going to resume.

For OCTOBER 22, 2009 below are the MKTs that are in a BULL TREND CORRECTIVE state and the Inflection Pivot that determines the contiuation of the sell signal or a reversion to the underlying positive trend.

EQUITY FUTURES [DEC09]

SP500 1083.75
Dow Fut 9927
MidCap400 701.90
DAX 5785
EuroStoxx 2880
FTSE100 5230


INTEREST RATE FUTURES [DEC09]

US 30YR T-BOND 120-25
US 5YR T-NOTE 106-057
BUND 12183
BOBL 11528

Draw a line on your intra-day chart at these levels. Look for opporunty in the direction of the price bias. Executing at or near these price points will provide the best risk / reward. SELL FADE and BUY BREAKOUT should be considered as entry strategies at these levels.

Good Trading.

EuroStoxx U'09 - Weaker than the Rest

The Sep'09 EuroStoxx took a tumble and will need to sustain a trade below the 2733 Inflection Pivot to keep an edge. If so expectations are for further losses down to 2683. Be patient. This is the low point for any false negative. Jump on any positive REVERSAL signals off this support inflection. A held break under 2683 is a sign of weakness that puts the 2587 target in play. 2481 is the current extreme.

A rise above 2733 puts the negative signal in question for a test of the 2779 resistance pivot. Keep it tight. If the enthusiasm is going to wane it will fizzle here. If so expectations are for the sessions range to contain the MKT into Friday. A breach of 2779 is a fresh positive bringing back the buyers for a charge up to 2864. 2966 is the upper extreme.
