MARA List
Market Summary
MARKET MOOD: Yellow
The summary below is my interpretation of the data in the ‘Market Mood Log’ above:
The indices are showing an upward bias: Across the board the indices improved vs last week. Down trends on the Russell shifted to sideways. Sideways negative on the NYSE and NASDAQ shifted to a more neutral to positive state. Same on The S&P 500 and Dow. See the current ‘market mood log’ above or via the playbook spreadsheet you received.
New Highs vs New Lows back in positive territory: New highs started outpacing new lows on the NYSE on Tuesday and built momentum throughout the week. The NASDAQ saw similar action and shifted into positive territory on Friday.
Distribution stabilized. The S&P 500 picked up a distribution day but dropped 1. The Dow dropped a distribution day.
There are 36 stocks total on the trade ideas list. Breadth is expanding. The majority of setups are still in the C level area. Only 1 idea I’d consider ‘B’ level right now is DFH. See the current ‘Focus List’ for details.
Open Trades: I’m in cash right now. Had a quick gain in SIMO last week.
HOW I’M PLAYING THIS HAND: With seeing market conditions improve and more trade ideas move into positive territory last week (80% of trade ideas finished positive on the week), I’m cautiously optimistic. I’d like to see a few more high quality setups emerge. If the market does get going, this feels like we’re still early. I’m going to ease in an place an order for DFH to start the week.

DISCLAIMER: Futures, stocks, and options trading involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of futures, stocks, and options may fluctuate, and, as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. The highly leveraged nature of futures trading means that small market movements will have a great impact on your trading account and this can work against you, leading to large losses, or can work for you, leading to large gains. If the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the amount you deposited into your account. You are responsible for all the risks and financial resources you use and for the chosen trading system.
