Posted by DigiNomad on 14th of May 2024 at 11:06 am

I guess market got my memo yesterday.. played out exactly as described for a hot print. One more to go...

A hot PPI makes a weak CPI potentially a double negative. Makes more sense if you think of CPI as revenue and PPI as COGS even though it's not a perfect analogy.. Ideal investor environment is when COGS are not growing and you're able to raise prices (CPI). The result is earnings expansion without needing to increase quantity of sales.  Things get trickier with hot PPI. A weak CPI would now suggest that inflation pressures are intense but it's harder to pass costs on to consumers.

Posted by DigiNomad on 13th of May 2024 at 04:14 pm

VWAP - maybe stupid question, but aren't 100% of VWAP's "anchored"?  People throw out VWAP and anchored VWAP like they are different things....but how is the math for VWAP possible without an anchor somewhere in time? 

VWAP is static and resets

Posted by mkwalsh on 13th of May 2024 at 05:58 pm

VWAP is static and resets daily. An "anchored" VWAP is dynamic and can be recalculated from any point in time you choose (the anchor).

Meme Stocks  - these tend to be late cycle so I feel like a good pullback is in order. That being said, I will take the spy entry with the system with a very tight stop. 

Yep, the problem is that

Posted by DigiNomad on 13th of May 2024 at 03:58 pm

Yep, the problem is that if you look at a longer term chart, we've been late cycle for a LONG time in a bull market that started with QE in 2009.  Turns out that if you print enough money you can effectively tamp down volatility and destroy the business cycle.  There are some very negative effects, but it looks rad on long term charts.

SPY and ES mean reversion systems

Posted by matt on 13th of May 2024 at 03:15 pm

So I guess on Friday the ES breakout system went long - the problem with TS being a Friday it didn't show up until I rebooted on weekend

Currently price is basically at the same price it went long

I'm not super in love with it here, if a deeper 4th wave pullback occurs it may take some heat or get stopped out (remember the breakout uses Stops. But is what it is and that's the thing about systems, you can second guess every trade, so I'll go ahead and issue it 

The breakout can have a maximum only of 2 entries before it stops out

i will make it 1/2

CPI print - back to

Posted by DigiNomad on 13th of May 2024 at 02:48 pm

CPI print - back to the same ole question. What is a "good" CPI print for the market (e.g. what print will cause it to go up)?

Once again, I think it plays out as follows (2 out of 3 options lead to market higher): 

- if CPI is hot, the market likely does a quick headfake lower and then screams higher (maybe same day but definitely within a couple of days to a week).
- if CPI is flat / inline, the market will likely move higher but not with the same conviction as option 1 (next catalyst for face ripper rally is NVDA). 
- if CPI misses on the downside, especially if by more than .1, the market will most likely gap higher and then drop. The bigger the miss (lower than expected inflation), the bigger the drop.

I've been nailing these for a while now, but  does anyone have a different take? 

Your synopsis sounds good to

Posted by keyhole7 on 13th of May 2024 at 03:00 pm

Your synopsis sounds good to me Digi. I hope the first option plays out.

I think a downside miss

Posted by DigiNomad on 13th of May 2024 at 03:20 pm

I think a downside miss on CPI would provide a doozy of a "game on - hold my beer" moment for Janet.  Essentially, they're likely waiting to print big into any inflation weakness.  Also, the Feb is back to the cusp of outright QE now (they only have "not QE" running at the moment) and a weak print would give them cover to cross the rubicon once more.  Interesting, but also kind of obvious playbook when recessions are simply not allowed to happen....at least not until after November. 

The whisper number I've been

Posted by DigiNomad on 13th of May 2024 at 03:00 pm

The whisper number I've been hearing is essentially to expect a "good" print - meaning weaker inflation than the forecast. I think these rumours might be keeping a bit of a fundamental lid on an otherwise bullish technical setup.

BAND on the run.  

I really like the risk reward setups on quite a few of the timeframes right now.  There are sell cycles on a few of the longer time frames, but my guess is that price will eventually break through those to confirm a wave 3 move.

On second thought - this could be wave B (bear flag). Funny how different types of charts give different looks.  I'm leaning towards wave B now...but it's already gone up about 1% since my initial call, so maybe win win. haha
