Weekly  Stock Market and Trading Strategies Report Week of October 14th

Results and Notes:  Adding positions, China Talks helping out!

Up to 4 positions now from just 1 going into this past week, as the market looks to hopefully get out of this range bound trading pattern. When you have those headwinds of the broader markets and macro issues, it’s hard to be a successful swing trader and sometimes its best to sit on your hands and wait for the weather to change a bit.  All of our 4 open positions are looking good technically coming into this week.

Short Term and Long Term Elliott Wave Views for the SP 500 Index

Short Term: We did end up holding the 2865 SPX area this past week and then obviously rallied with optimism on China Trade talks late in the week.  Lets see if this is now a Wave 3 up from this past weeks lows and we take a shot at all time highs.

Long Term:   (Wave  3 of Intermediate 3 of Major 3).  The long term Primary Wave 5 up from Feb 2016 lows continues, we are in Major Wave 3 up from the 2345 lows of Major 2 in Dec 2018.  Updated chart this week shows a sideways consolidation but we should be watching for a big breakout out of this range if in fact this is a Wave 3 up.

Long Term View:  Int 3 of Major 3 underway to over 3000 made up of 5 waves

Recently decline pretty steep from 3022 area, if that was a Wave 2 of 5… then we are in early stages of 3 up here of Int 3 of Major 3.  Still watching 3022 to get taken out, suspect will see that in the coming weeks barring a major setback in trade talks.

Short Term View: Wave 3 up

We did take out 2960 late in the week which was our discussion point last Weekend in this section. Lets see if Wave 3 can really take hold ahead and move past 3022.

Market Notes and Indicator Charts:

• IWM (ETF) displayed this weekend showing relative underperformance of small caps
• 7 wave rooftop pattern for Russell 2000, we MAY have bottomed in wave 7 this past week- see chart
• LD Micro Cap index is off 26% from the 2018 highs, if you have been trying to make headwinds with microcap stocks you can stop beating yourself up, its been in a Bear Cycle!  That said, could outperform big in 2020!

IWM Chart: Wave 7 of a sideways base completed this past week, could be 9 or 11 waves before done, but typically 7 waves once completed does give an index or sector a change to then break to the upside. Updated chart

Weekly ideas and tips on Swing Trading Success:  Minding Mr. Market

In my work, I try to take my Macro views of the markets via a behavioral pattern perspective, and from that either step on or off the gas in terms of allocation strategy. When I sense a bottom pattern is completed, I will add more swing trade positions and when I think we are not yet done with a corrective pattern, I will step off the gas and reduce positions and raise cash.  If ever the market is going to break out of this range, its likely coming near term. So we are adding some positions and now up to 40% allocation to equities and 60% cash coming into this week. That said, its “Trust but verify” as they say, so lets see how the markets act this coming week for possible follow through. You must respect the overall market pattern or at least be aware of it when deploying capital, obviously there are individual stock situations that will cause losses you can’t avoid regardless of market conditions, but for sure Mr. Market should not be disrepected ever. The best time to deploy capital is the hardest time to do so, it’s when everyone is scared and fear readings are high.  The best time to reduce positions is when everyone is bullish, once again, easier said than done.
