October 1, 2014 - 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 qtrly Equity Index charts are pretty ugly.

I'm looking for 1875 +- a few in the Spu's & 3800 Nasd 100.

Closes over 1954 in the Spu is the only thing that will negate the targets.

USD/JPY....is trying to bottom for a bounce with a Risk off board. I'd need to see USD/JPY stay under 109 ( over 91.75 Futures) for follow through.

Not that it can't do it, it's just not happening yet with EUR/JPY trading just above it's 50 DMA @ 137.72.

My advice is not to create a trade until it shows itself. Investors still want to be in the Greenback.
