May 14, 2015 - MDT - Midday Missive

While the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader focuses on investment over a one week to six-month time frame, Mad Day Trader, provided by Jim Parker, 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.

The DAX looks to have bottomed for a bit.

HEDJ... has rejected yesterday's negative technical pattern.

This should go up and test 65.60 if it's good. Closing over 66.20 should be considered a resumption of the trend.

?Metals & Miners...?

Silver is leading by holding it's 200 DMA @ 17.12.

17.70 is today's resistance and upside momentum level.

GDXJ, FCX & BHP will be on the list of potential longs today into tomorrow with confirming price action in the Silver.

Currency traders...USD/ZAR should be monitored for a potential trade. The rally started on the ESKOM privitization.

The South African Rand should see continued?strength?if the metals rally is for real.

VIX...looks like I was at least a day early on this trade. I'm not crazy about the UVXY failing early at 9.50, last week's close.

This needs price action and a close over this level for me to stick with the trade.

CBI...pattern buy stops are @ 52.15 ( the monthly ORH #). Closes over 53.10 should lead to another 10% rally.
