MARKET MECHANIC BIG PICTURE REPORT, BROUGHT TO YOU BY ODYSSEY TRADING GROUP FOR 01/16 2013

Welcome to theMarket Mechanic daily blog

TODAYS TALLY: $ 900.00 +       

TODAYS ACTION: The market opens lower but the lower opening proved to be a buying opportunity the software and system generated the first profitable buy signal at 9:10AM then generated 5 additional profitable buy signals as the market grinded higher. The rally put the market into overbought territory and our software and system generated 2 profitable sell signals as earlier gains were digested and the market drifted lower.

The tally is determined is by taking the trade at the closing price of the 5 minute bar when the software and system generates a trading signal. We will trade 3 contracts per signal with the profit goal of 4 ticks or 1 point per trade. This profit goal is a minimum.  The system will employ a 4 point disaster stop or a loss can be booked when the software and system generates a trade that would reverse our outstanding position. There will be times when the software and system generates what can best be called overlapping trading signals, in this case there will be only one trade booked.

Subsequent low: 1465.25.

AFTER THE CLOSE : The late afternoon sell off put the DTI’s on all time frames into negative territory. Only the 5 minute TIndex went negative with the afternoon sell off all other time frames remained positive. The DTI’ breaking to the negative towards the close leads us to believe that some of the recent overall market gains need to be consolidated with a selloff. But the Macro picture for the market is bullish. So, any selloff could give us a good buying opportunity. The software and system will let us know where and when.

ABOUT THE MARKET MECHANIC :

The Market Mechanic has developed 3 proprietary indexes and oscillators: the Trend Index Aggressive (TI agg), the Delta Trend Index (DTI) and the Trend Index (TIndex).  These 3 proprietary indicators combined with the Directional Movement Index (DMI), the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) give us over thirty, high probability set ups that are used to day trade the emini S&P market. These indexes and oscillators are applied on time frames from 5 minutes to 60 minutes (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60) and these set ups are traded on all time frames. The final product of the combination of these proprietary and non proprietary oscillators and indexes is a mechanical system and methodology for identifying entry points into the market that completely sidelines emotion and allows its user to concentrate on the money management part of the trading equation.

The philosophy of the Market Mechanic is not to predict the market but to anticipate likely market scenarios that the market will produce on a daily basis and the best way to exploit these opportunities. These set ups are designed to profitably and consistently exploit these market scenarios.

Markets are opportunity generating machines; our software and methodology strive to take advantage of these opportunities as they arise and provide its users a consistent and reliable profit making trading set ups.
