Strategy Based Trading - BULL TREND CORRECTION

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.

Starting the week of OCT 19, 2009 the Canadian Dolllar and 2yr T-Note futures and the FOREX AUDUSD major cross rate are in the BULL TREND CORRECTION technical state.

Canadian Dollar Dec'09 contract


Expectation today are that Friday's negative signal will weigh on the MKT below the 9663 Inflection Pivot, pressing support at 9606. If the currency is going to stabilize it will do so above here. A held failure and the MKT is vulnerable to further corrective action down to 9492 and 9406 on any negative follow thourhg.


A held trade above 9663 puts the negative signal in question and the contract in a neutral digestive position. Only above 9720 is the underlying BULL TREND back in gear targeting 9834 on any positive turn of events. 10062 is the upper extreme.





US 2yr T-Note Dec'09 contract

The 2YR T-NOTE is flirting with a underlying sentiment shift with all trading below the 108-180 Inflection Pivot. A held failure from 108-152 confirms Friday's "corrective" signal targeting 108-105 on any downside follow through. If the trade is going to remain "normal" the MKT will stabilize above here. A break under 108-105 and the contract is vulnerable to further losses down to 108-005.


A rise above 108-180 takes the edge off for more of a digestive trade up to 108-207. Be patient. This is the high point for any lackluster trade. A violation here and the underlying BULL TREND will trying to re-establish itself targeting 108-255. 109.035 is the upper extreme.



FOREX AUDUSD



The AUDUSD cross produced a negative signal that will remain in play with all trading below the 9182 Inflection Pivot. A break under 9129 is needed to confirm fresh losses targeting 9023 on any downside follow through. Be patient if the MKT is going to stabilize it will here. If not the potential to transition down to 8811 is real.


A held trade above 9182 puts the contract back into a digestive trade. Only above 9235 does the underlying positive momentum try to re-assert itself for a run at 9341. 9420 is the current upper extreme.




As you read through the different outlooks one thing is apparent. They are all basically the same. That is the point of the Strategy Based Trading Approach.
