MDT Alert

While the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader focuses on investment over a one week to a six-month time frame, Mad Day Trader, provided by Bill Davis, will exploit money-making opportunities over a brief ten minute to three-day window. It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.

................................................................................

Yesterday, I suggested you close the short $4 call on MFA. This reduced the overall premium collected on this position to $0.95, but it allowed you to book the profit on the calls. It also frees the position up to sell more calls, which I will suggest on a bounce in the stock.

I also suggested a covered call on DXC. The alert suggested buying the stock and selling the $17 call that expires this Friday.

Yesterday, the market staged a reversal day. And the market stopped at the levels I outlined the Monday update.

For the day, the S & P 500 closed 25.28 points higher. Considering that the market opened with a bearish gap of 47.55 points, the turn around was rather impressive.

After the bearish gap, the S & P dropped to a low of 2,965.66. This was 28.10 points under the open. And the low of the day was put in at right after the open, at 9:34 EST.

From that point, the market staged its rally, hitting a high of 3,079.76. The high was hit exactly at 2:30 EST.

The range for the day was 114.10 points. This was 159% of the daily average true range, which is now 71.70 points.

And the day closed at 88% of the range of the bar. This suggests the high will be violated before the low.

The support area from yesterday's daily bar is around 3,030. Under that level is support around the 3,022 area.

Pre open, the S & P is trading about 60 points higher. This projects to an open around 3,126 or about 47 points above yesterday's high. So, the close percentage projection should be satisfied at the open.

The low yesterday tested the midband on both the daily chart and the 60 minute chart.

The midband on the daily chart is 2,999.72. Yesterday's low dropped about 35 points under the midband before the market recovered to close above it.

The midband on the 60 minute chart is 2,974. Yesterday's low of 2,965.66 dropped about 10 points under the midband before the rally began.

I point this out because we were looking for support at these levels. And the market complied.

Resistance from last week's weekly bar is in the 3,109 to 3,120 area. The market should open above the upper end of the weekly resistance level which would suggest it would now be support.

Earnings season is winding down and the most notable company reporting this week is ORCL. ORCL reports today after the close.
