Good Morning Stooltraders! Here are my intraday comments from last night's
Anals. I'll be back with more before the open. Gotta finish updating
Stoolwethers.
QUOTE
After rocketing to new highs in the first hour, the market topped
out around mid day and spent the afternoon ratcheting own to go out
on what should be a one day cycle low. The lows exceeded the
downside cmap of 949 on the SPX but came back to close there, and
just about met the 29.20 cmap on the QQQ before closing at 29.31.
The 1 day cycle was due to turn up at 3:00. It was at least a little
late, so it looks like 3-8 day cycles are turning down, as the
charts for those cycles indicate. Will it be a sideways down phase,
which would portend further gains after a few days of consolidation,
or will it be a hard down phase, ending the wild bull run we have
been witnesses to, if not participants in?
Tomorrow should give us the answer. Upside cmaps for all short
cycles have been hit. How high the AM up phase gets should be the
tell. A five hour cycle high is due between now and tomorrow in the
first half hour. A 1 day cycle high is due around 11 AM. If the
market is weak in the first 1-1/2 hours, it's a good bet that the
rally is over.

Good morning,
Cycle low today, so I expect a trade below yesterday's low at some point.
Let's don't forget the potential "Three drives to a low" pattern on the
15m chart. Other than that nothing else for today. I'll take it easy..
The intermediate top has to be in or it's coming next week. I spend a
considerable amount of time yesterday night reviewing my cyclical analysis
to see what the heck is going on. In order to understand what I mean
exactly, I'll tell you that at any given point, the market operates within
two pivots. A high and a low. For example...
Since October 10th 2002, the market was operating between that low and the
January 13th high. After it traded above the 1/13/03 high, the two key
pivots became the 10/10/02 low and the 12/2/02 high. When it traded above
the 12/2/02 high the pivots became the 10/10/02 low and the 8/22/02 high
and so on....
The high and low pivots apply time and price support and resistance levels
to the market.
All in all...
With everything I see so far. The intermediate cycle that picked the
12/2/02 high and the 3/12/03 low (with 2 days variance) was pointing to a
5/12 high. Although we find oursevles two weeks later trading higher, if
we look at the SPX on the which the cycle is based on, the index didn't
manage to close above the 5/12 close by more than 8 points. So in theory
that cycle is still in effect, although it feels worse than it actually is
Another cycle, of longer duration that the previous one, is pointing to a
6/3 high followed by a 7/22 low. This cycle is more bullish than the first
one. But it still points to a top now...
Now...what do I try to say.....As I said before the top is either in, or
it's coming early next week. What we need to avoid is getting trapped into
the "just a little bit more" game. In other words. If it doesn't stop at
950, it will be 965. If it's not 965 it will be 975. If not 975 it will be
1000. That's a trap that the mind plays to justify holdind losing
positions and on top of that, it prevents us from taking advantage of the
upswing.
So the plan goes like this. If the price doesn't top, the latest, by next
week, I personally won't look at the longer term cycles at all for now,
and I'll focus just on the price patterns, and the turn dates. Hopefully,
this way, I'll take better advantage of all the trading opportunities that
show up
Have a good trading day

I am looking for a 50%-62% retrace of the 5 waves down. 955-957.

Stocks for today
Time pivots: CAH, AMGN, KSS
Potential short candidates as long as they hold below yesterday's high:
AMGN, MXIM, SYMC, MEDI
Potential long candidates: IDPH, CEPH, BGEN, DNA ( all of these at
slightly lower levels than they currently are)
Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:22 AM
From the AM Anals-
This morning we have the futures higher. What else is new. We should look
for the 5 hr cycle high within the first few minutes, and failing that, a
one day cycle high around 10:45-11:15. Upside cmap on the basis of
overnight fucutures is, well I don't know what the hell it is from this
chart. But it could be 955. The 3 day cycle downside cmap was 947. That
was hit yesterday as was the 5 day cycle upside cmap of 959.
The SPY's opened on a gap up in the pre-market and are trading at 95.86,
which should be worth around 955.50 on the cash. the upside cmap looks
like around 96.05, worth about 957.50 cash. QQQ is at 29.53 with a target
of around 29.60. We'll look for those numbers this morning and see how the
market behaves in getting there. The PM should be weak.

Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 09:28 AM
Here is the potential "Three drives to a low" pattern
You can see the two "drives" or "spikes" and the divergence on the
oscillator. The expectation is a pullback towards the 20 EMA (that's the
reason of the gap up today) and if the market decides to complete the
pattern, it will push one more time lower, and the swing will be complete.
After three or fours "pushes" lower or higher expect a short term
reversal.... That will prevent you from entering at the end of the short
term move
Posted by: Wrecked Them May 30 2003, 09:31 AM
BB, I hear you loud and clear.
That mental gamesplaying - moving the line in the sand - is very
dangerous.
With regard to your previous 5/12 cycle high, I did notice that indicators
like RSI, ADX, etc are lower now than at the previous high. Until more
time passes and we can benefit from hindsight, we won't know for sure.
However, this negative divergence is important, at least for now.
By the way, I noticed your prognostications are taking on a life of their
own over on IDS:

Follow through on the potential "Three drives to a low" discussion.
Since the index traded above the prior pivot high (the high of the
pullback after the first low), the potential from the pattern development
are decreasing....

I received my first margin call since the summer of 2000. Bummer. I sure
underestimated this one. Such is life. I hear what you all are saying
about moving the line in the sand. It been very hard to reconcile the TA
for the last month with the actual action, nonetheless, I will cover only
what I have to as I agree that we are near or in the top and the turn
could be harsh and fast.
Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:51 AM
It's tricky here because the 3 day cycle is up, but the 5 and 8 still
appear to be topping.
Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:52 AM
Now the qqq upside cmap has pulled back down to 29.65. So that may have
been just another little distribution blowoff. I think the time frame is
the key. Up phase should be out of gas soon.

Followthrough on AMGN trade...
Why did I pick AMGN? Because of yesterday's reversal bar. New high above
the previous swing high from 4/24/03 and a close below the previous two
days closes. I like the probabilities of the trade, I know where my stop
is and if I had to guess I will say that it should target the 20 day EMA
at 62...That's the reason for my target. That's 1.7 points away, so I'm
looking for 1 to 1.5 (we have to leave some money of the table for the
next guy).
I might have gotten in sligthly early, there are potential that the stock
could trade up to 64.3-64.5 before it reverses to the downside. So I might
have to take some squeeze here
That's the plan...either it will trigger the stop and I'll move on or it
will give me the money...
Plan your trades, trade your plan..

Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:18 AM
Keep in mind,
The important thing is the level not the exact number.... 964 +/- 3. Also
that the date for the cycle top using the Square of nine, is a time window
from now till next week.
The cycle bottom for today is short term stuff...

Another cycle, of longer duration that the previous one, is pointing

than the first one. But it still points to a top now...
Interesting BB. If we top on 6/3 and subtract the number of days from the
Aug hi to Oct lo, we get 7/22. Out of curiousity, do you use a different
method to arrive at the same date? As I posted last night in Talking
Stool, it's possible that everything since 2/3 is a reverse mirror of the
action from the Oct lows to 2/3. Will this reverse mirroring continue once
(and if we top) (i.e. will the next wave mimic the selloff from 8/22 to
10/10 in reverse)?

No different method...
These cycles are based purely on Gann analysis. I try to find out which
year from the past repeats. The cycle that I mentioned before with the top
on 6/3 and the bottom 7/22 is 1963, a pre-election year, 40 years ago
(20*2). 20 year cycle is the most important cycle of all... Although Gann
didn't say it 100 back then because people could thought he was crazy, 20
years is the synodic Saturn/Jupiter cycle.
If that cycle repeats, then we should expect a 50% retracement of the
rally since March 12th, which brings us to 875. But the dates/time is more
important than the "length" of the move

tremendous amount of reading of the Gann methodology to understand where I
come from. Even I get confused at times
Belive me I do my best to pass to you what I see, right or wrong.
Hopefully along the process I'll be able to pass some of the stuff I

Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:56 AM
Everytime I was down on my swing positions I used to double-up and every
single time I will lose at the end. So the rule is.
NEVER ADD TO A LOSING POSITION
Good trades become profitable immediately. If a position takes you under
and you freeze and you don't close it, the worse thing you can do is add
to it.
Keep in mind, that the market will be here tomorrow, next year and 100
years from now. Take care of the losing position and then start fresh
again having in mind that (as someone said at a seminar I attended awhile
ago) "Your first loss, is your best loss"
This is not a race, it's a journey

Absolutely right. Averaging down into losing positions may work only if
there are no reversals but only corrections. That's why it's easy to trade
in secular bull markets.

a 3 hr wavelet low at 12:00. Then a 5 hr low at 12:00.

I took the liberty to compare the times for the two time periods Pico

bothered.

If the 1 day cycle is dominant, like yesterday, then the low will come
late, around 3:30. But the longer it goes sideways, the more likely
there's gonna be a late break to the upside. The problem is that cmaps
have been met for most cycles up to 8 days.

1:00 The market did as expected from a time standpoint, but was stronger
than expected price wise, this morning. As I write the one day cycle
appears to be turning down, but it's too early to tell if the down phase
will actually be down, or a swdp, a flat move while the ozzies correct.
This morning the SPX and QQQ retest upside cmaps for the 8 day cycle. This
should be the cycle high, but it depends on a down afternoon. the 5 hour
cycle low is due around 2:00 and the 1 day low around 3:30. If the down
phase is flat, there should be a push to higher highs in the late going.

Conversely, we have 5 hr cycle juxtaposed with a high due at 3:40. The
juxtapostion helps to explain the narrow range. Sometimes one cycle takes
charge. Other times they fight to a draw when juxtaposed. Best moves are
when they are in gear with a near simultaneous high or low. .

Looks like they'll close the SPX a couple of points above the line in the
sand. The Nas has blown way through its LITS. I'll have to see what the
implications are on the daily and weekly charts for your Weak End Anals.
For now here at the end of the day the juxtaposed 1 day and 5 hour cycles
fight to a draw. They've hit all the upside cmaps we deal with here in
Stooltrading. Ditto for the longer cycles covered in the Anals.
If ,like me, you don't like to trade from the long side, this has been one
of the most trying weeks any of us will go through. All we can do is try
and follow this trend, and, most of all, be patient. Wait for clear
evidence of a turn. Ditto if you're a neutral swinger who will play it
both ways. Follow the trend until there's clear evidence that it's over.
And congratulations if you have been long!
Since it's been so flat all day, I don't have much in the way of cmaps for
Monday. We'll get a clue once it breaks out of this range. I may have some
data in tonight's Anals. I'll have more in the pre-market here on Monday.
Many tanks for joining me! I look forward to seeing all of you next week.
If you think it has been worthwhile to be a part of this, spread the word!
Have a great weak end!
Stool Out!

Stoolies,
Have a great weakend. I hate what I'm going to say and I hope that I'm
wrong, as is typical, but here it is for FWIW, fearless forecast for next
weak :
DJX >9000-9200
NDX 1220-1240
COMPQ > 1625-1650
SPX > 975
Qs > 31
I expect that the posturing this weak was just preparation for a breakout
and runaway to new highs. After that, who knows ... but with current
environment, anything could happen; Up or Down 5-10% would not surprise
me.
I've taken a beating of late and if the fearless forecast above starts to
play out I will take off my Shorts (I hope that I know the stoolies on the
board well enuff to do that). I can't make myself take Long Postions so
will stand aside there and probably continue to trade short term until the
current lunacy subsides.

Good Morning Stooltraders! Here are my intraday comments from last night's
Anals. I'll be back with more before the open. Gotta finish updating
Stoolwethers.
QUOTE
After rocketing to new highs in the first hour, the market topped
out around mid day and spent the afternoon ratcheting own to go out
on what should be a one day cycle low. The lows exceeded the
downside cmap of 949 on the SPX but came back to close there, and
just about met the 29.20 cmap on the QQQ before closing at 29.31.
The 1 day cycle was due to turn up at 3:00. It was at least a little
late, so it looks like 3-8 day cycles are turning down, as the
charts for those cycles indicate. Will it be a sideways down phase,
which would portend further gains after a few days of consolidation,
or will it be a hard down phase, ending the wild bull run we have
been witnesses to, if not participants in?
Tomorrow should give us the answer. Upside cmaps for all short
cycles have been hit. How high the AM up phase gets should be the
tell. A five hour cycle high is due between now and tomorrow in the
first half hour. A 1 day cycle high is due around 11 AM. If the
market is weak in the first 1-1/2 hours, it's a good bet that the
rally is over.
Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 09:14 AM
Good morning,
Cycle low today, so I expect a trade below yesterday's low at some point.
Let's don't forget the potential "Three drives to a low" pattern on the
15m chart. Other than that nothing else for today. I'll take it easy..
The intermediate top has to be in or it's coming next week. I spend a
considerable amount of time yesterday night reviewing my cyclical analysis
to see what the heck is going on. In order to understand what I mean
exactly, I'll tell you that at any given point, the market operates within
two pivots. A high and a low. For example...
Since October 10th 2002, the market was operating between that low and the
January 13th high. After it traded above the 1/13/03 high, the two key
pivots became the 10/10/02 low and the 12/2/02 high. When it traded above
the 12/2/02 high the pivots became the 10/10/02 low and the 8/22/02 high
and so on....
The high and low pivots apply time and price support and resistance levels
to the market.
All in all...
With everything I see so far. The intermediate cycle that picked the
12/2/02 high and the 3/12/03 low (with 2 days variance) was pointing to a
5/12 high. Although we find oursevles two weeks later trading higher, if
we look at the SPX on the which the cycle is based on, the index didn't
manage to close above the 5/12 close by more than 8 points. So in theory
that cycle is still in effect, although it feels worse than it actually is
Another cycle, of longer duration that the previous one, is pointing to a
6/3 high followed by a 7/22 low. This cycle is more bullish than the first
one. But it still points to a top now...
Now...what do I try to say.....As I said before the top is either in, or
it's coming early next week. What we need to avoid is getting trapped into
the "just a little bit more" game. In other words. If it doesn't stop at
950, it will be 965. If it's not 965 it will be 975. If not 975 it will be
1000. That's a trap that the mind plays to justify holdind losing
positions and on top of that, it prevents us from taking advantage of the
upswing.
So the plan goes like this. If the price doesn't top, the latest, by next
week, I personally won't look at the longer term cycles at all for now,
and I'll focus just on the price patterns, and the turn dates. Hopefully,
this way, I'll take better advantage of all the trading opportunities that
show up
Have a good trading day

slightly lower levels than they currently are)
Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:22 AM
From the AM Anals-
This morning we have the futures higher. What else is new. We should look
for the 5 hr cycle high within the first few minutes, and failing that, a
one day cycle high around 10:45-11:15. Upside cmap on the basis of
overnight fucutures is, well I don't know what the hell it is from this
chart. But it could be 955. The 3 day cycle downside cmap was 947. That
was hit yesterday as was the 5 day cycle upside cmap of 959.
The SPY's opened on a gap up in the pre-market and are trading at 95.86,
which should be worth around 955.50 on the cash. the upside cmap looks
like around 96.05, worth about 957.50 cash. QQQ is at 29.53 with a target
of around 29.60. We'll look for those numbers this morning and see how the
market behaves in getting there. The PM should be weak.

Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 09:28 AM
Here is the potential "Three drives to a low" pattern
You can see the two "drives" or "spikes" and the divergence on the
oscillator. The expectation is a pullback towards the 20 EMA (that's the
reason of the gap up today) and if the market decides to complete the
pattern, it will push one more time lower, and the swing will be complete.
After three or fours "pushes" lower or higher expect a short term
reversal.... That will prevent you from entering at the end of the short
term move
Posted by: Wrecked Them May 30 2003, 09:31 AM
BB, I hear you loud and clear.
That mental gamesplaying - moving the line in the sand - is very
dangerous.
With regard to your previous 5/12 cycle high, I did notice that indicators
like RSI, ADX, etc are lower now than at the previous high. Until more
time passes and we can benefit from hindsight, we won't know for sure.
However, this negative divergence is important, at least for now.
By the way, I noticed your prognostications are taking on a life of their
own over on IDS:

are decreasing....

underestimated this one. Such is life. I hear what you all are saying
about moving the line in the sand. It been very hard to reconcile the TA

what I have to as I agree that we are near or in the top and the turn
could be harsh and fast.

Followthrough on AMGN trade...
Why did I pick AMGN? Because of yesterday's reversal bar. New high above
the previous swing high from 4/24/03 and a close below the previous two
days closes. I like the probabilities of the trade, I know where my stop
is and if I had to guess I will say that it should target the 20 day EMA
at 62...That's the reason for my target. That's 1.7 points away, so I'm
looking for 1 to 1.5 (we have to leave some money of the table for the
next guy).
I might have gotten in sligthly early, there are potential that the stock
could trade up to 64.3-64.5 before it reverses to the downside. So I might
have to take some squeeze here
That's the plan...either it will trigger the stop and I'll move on or it
will give me the money...
Plan your trades, trade your plan..

Interesting BB. If we top on 6/3 and subtract the number of days from the
Aug hi to Oct lo, we get 7/22. Out of curiousity, do you use a different
method to arrive at the same date? As I posted last night in Talking
Stool, it's possible that everything since 2/3 is a reverse mirror of the
action from the Oct lows to 2/3. Will this reverse mirroring continue once

No different method...
These cycles are based purely on Gann analysis. I try to find out which
year from the past repeats. The cycle that I mentioned before with the top
on 6/3 and the bottom 7/22 is 1963, a pre-election year, 40 years ago
(20*2). 20 year cycle is the most important cycle of all... Although Gann
didn't say it 100 back then because people could thought he was crazy, 20
years is the synodic Saturn/Jupiter cycle.
If that cycle repeats, then we should expect a 50% retracement of the
rally since March 12th, which brings us to 875. But the dates/time is more
important than the "length" of the move

Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:56 AM
Everytime I was down on my swing positions I used to double-up and every
single time I will lose at the end. So the rule is.
NEVER ADD TO A LOSING POSITION
Good trades become profitable immediately. If a position takes you under
and you freeze and you don't close it, the worse thing you can do is add
to it.
Keep in mind, that the market will be here tomorrow, next year and 100
years from now. Take care of the losing position and then start fresh
again having in mind that (as someone said at a seminar I attended awhile
ago) "Your first loss, is your best loss"

Everytime I was down on my swing positions I used to double-up and
every single time I will lose at the end. So the rule is.
NEVER ADD TO A LOSING POSITION
Good trades become profitable immediately. If a position takes you
under and you freeze and you don't close it, the worse thing you can
do is add to it.
Keep in mind, that the market will be here tomorrow, next year and
100 years from now. Take care of the losing position and then start
fresh again having in mind that (as someone said at a seminar I
attended awhile ago) "Your first loss, is your best loss"
This is not a race, it's a journey
Absolutely right. Averaging down into losing positions may work only if
there are no reversals but only corrections. That's why it's easy to trade
in secular bull markets.

If the 1 day cycle is dominant, like yesterday, then the low will come
late, around 3:30. But the longer it goes sideways, the more likely
there's gonna be a late break to the upside. The problem is that cmaps
have been met for most cycles up to 8 days.

Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 01:08 PM
1:00 The market did as expected from a time standpoint, but was stronger
than expected price wise, this morning. As I write the one day cycle
appears to be turning down, but it's too early to tell if the down phase
will actually be down, or a swdp, a flat move while the ozzies correct.
This morning the SPX and QQQ retest upside cmaps for the 8 day cycle. This
should be the cycle high, but it depends on a down afternoon. the 5 hour
cycle low is due around 2:00 and the 1 day low around 3:30. If the down
phase is flat, there should be a push to higher highs in the late going.

At the very end of any cycle there's typically at least a little price

Conversely, we have 5 hr cycle juxtaposed with a high due at 3:40. The
juxtapostion helps to explain the narrow range. Sometimes one cycle takes
charge. Other times they fight to a draw when juxtaposed. Best moves are
when they are in gear with a near simultaneous high or low. .

Looks like they'll close the SPX a couple of points above the line in the
sand. The Nas has blown way through its LITS. I'll have to see what the
implications are on the daily and weekly charts for your Weak End Anals.
For now here at the end of the day the juxtaposed 1 day and 5 hour cycles
fight to a draw. They've hit all the upside cmaps we deal with here in
Stooltrading. Ditto for the longer cycles covered in the Anals.
If ,like me, you don't like to trade from the long side, this has been one
of the most trying weeks any of us will go through. All we can do is try
and follow this trend, and, most of all, be patient. Wait for clear
evidence of a turn. Ditto if you're a neutral swinger who will play it
both ways. Follow the trend until there's clear evidence that it's over.
And congratulations if you have been long!
Since it's been so flat all day, I don't have much in the way of cmaps for
Monday. We'll get a clue once it breaks out of this range. I may have some
data in tonight's Anals. I'll have more in the pre-market here on Monday.
Many tanks for joining me! I look forward to seeing all of you next week.
If you think it has been worthwhile to be a part of this, spread the word!
Have a great weak end!
Stool Out!

Posted by: PyurAureo May 30 2003, 04:25 PM
Stoolies,
Have a great weakend. I hate what I'm going to say and I hope that I'm
wrong, as is typical, but here it is for FWIW, fearless forecast for next
weak :
DJX >9000-9200
NDX 1220-1240
COMPQ > 1625-1650
SPX > 975
Qs > 31
I expect that the posturing this weak was just preparation for a breakout
and runaway to new highs. After that, who knows ... but with current
environment, anything could happen; Up or Down 5-10% would not surprise
me.
I've taken a beating of late and if the fearless forecast above starts to
play out I will take off my Shorts (I hope that I know the stoolies on the
board well enuff to do that). I can't make myself take Long Postions so
will stand aside there and probably continue to trade short term until the
current lunacy subsides.

Good morning Stooltraders-
I'll start by posting a replay of Friday night's wrap up from the Weak End
Anals, and will be back with more as we approach the open.
QUOTE
The day started with the futures higher, what else is new, and the
market ran to a 5 hour cycle high around 11:00. A sideways down
phase followed until 1:45 then moved haltingly higher into the
close. That may have been the 5 hour cycle high. A 1 day cycle high
is due around 11:00 on Monday. The upside cmaps are 29.83 on the QQQ
and 965 on the SPX. Cmaps for the 3 day cycle high also due Monday
are 969 on the SPX and 30 on the QQQ. If they don't come on the
first push in the AM, they may make another try in the PM.
I'll just add that right now based onthe fucutures the cmap is 970.50.
Earlier this morning they hit 972.20, so 970.50 would be a lower high. Not
sure I'm reading the SPY's right, but they appear to have a cmap of 97.50,
which is where they are now. That's equivalent to 972 cash. That coincides
with the 3 day cycle cmap on the futures. The qqq appears to have a 1 day
cmap of 30.15 and 30.25 on the 3 day.

Nice pop in gold.
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 09:02 AM
Good morning,
Let me start by following through on my AMGN short trade from Friday.
Since the stop didn't trigger I carry it overnight and today, pre-market
AMGN is up almost two points. So, having a stop at 1.25 points above
entry, I have to cover at a 3 point loss. That's a four digit loss to
start the week...
The lesson is this.. When the stop triggers, we have to take it, even if
it's a lot higher from were we thought it will be.
On to business...
We are entering one of the most critical week's of the year. If you
haven't seen the weekly chart I post over the weekend, visit my site on
Stoolcitites here :
http://stoolcities.c...kbelt/index.htm
We could see an accelerated move to the upside for a day or two and then
reversal to the downside before the week ends. So the key here is to see,
how the week will end. Assuming the high comes this week, the next turn is
late July early August. According to my calculations that should be
another intermediate term low. I don't expect it to be "deep". 50%
retracement of the advance since the March lows is my preference. I'll
update if that changes, based on what the market will actually do.
For today, I'll focus on just a couple of stocks on the long side. My
calendar shows CEPH, BGEN and MMM as stocks with pivots. That's for
day-trading.
My weekly analysis showed the following stocks nearing completion of
bearish weekly patterns: C, JPM, GS, LEH, CAT, UTX, HDI (and possibly
YHOO...no pattern here but a strong time pivot) These will be the stocks
I'll be looking to take shorts on IF the market reverses.
Have a good trading day, week and month
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 09:07 AM
Re: DNA
Last week I posted that the drop (that day it was down 3 points) was an
opportunity to buy on any pullback towards the 20 EMA on the 240m chart. I
also said that most will look to short it, but that was the wrong play.
Today DNA is up 8 points. The fact that it didn't even pulled back towards
the EMA on the 240m timeframe is another sign of great strength.
Take a look at the chart and see the characteristics of this stock before
the gap up today. The same characteristics appear on many stocks over and
over again.

BB & Doc,
I read the BB's comment's over the weekend on M2M, however his final
comment was veeery disappointing and instead of posting on M2M on the
weekend and risk his work[charts] being riped off and posted on other
websites by lurkers, perhaps BB could consider posting on 'Talking Stool'
in 'BB Weekend Forum' {i know he posts otherwise to that forum}which is
available to hundreds of paying stoolies instead of THOUSANDS of lurkers
and users. On the new weekend talking stool he could still invite the many
responses he received this weekend ?
BB, I hope that is a better alternative than posting on the free M2M ?
Doc,
YOU HAVE TO PROMOTE TalkingStool a bit more as many stoolies never ever go
there. In fact I didnt even go their until months after I joined
capitalstool. I am sure the discussion between BB and the stoolies could
be just as good if the stoolies visit it on a regular basis.
Hope you both can work this out as it helps to get BB's medium-longterm
thoughts instead of just his charts with short comments on stoolcities and
then the followup comments from other stoolies.

Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 09:52 AM
If I were going to do something today, I'd look for a move up into the
expected 11:00 AM 5 hr cycle high and find a big cap name that appeared
due for a concurrent high heading for a cmap and short it for a day trade,
with a tight stop just above the cmap, allowing for an upside into a 1 day
cycle high around 12:00. Alternatively, I could wait for the 1 day cycle
high. Will update you on my thinking prior to those times.
Posted by: zman Jun 2 2003, 09:52 AM
just a reminder at 10am the supply management manufacturing index comes
out..Last number was 45.4 they are expecting 48...if this is exceeded I
look for another push possibly to 977.60..if in line then should head
lower..
Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 09:55 AM
Unfortunately, while writing my posts, I sometimes miss things, like oops,
the market just sold off.
But the plan is to look toward 11:00, so I'll stick to that.

5m charts indicate impulse move to the upside. The pullback will be bought
and a new high should follow. That matches Doc's 1 day cycle projection.

Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 10:07 AM
The SPX fell .40 shy of the 972 cmap. If the open was the high, I'm too
late on this move. So I'll wait for the next one. If the next cycle high
falls short, it suggests to me that I may be able to hold a short
overnight because the 3-8 day cycles might be rolling over. Too early to
know now, but these are the tings I will be looking for today as I look at
the Stooltrading charts.
Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 10:09 AM
OK, I have misspoke in a couple of posts. The expected 11:00 AM high is
for the 1 day cycle. The 5 hr high was at the open based on what I had
posted in the initial post. Mea culpa... Hopefully I'll get a second
chance around 11:00.

by MarketNeutral related to the 975 +/- number and the current
timeframe... very interesting.
The 973/975 area seems to be key resistance and very strong resistance at
that. I am watching carefully as I think a strong move above this range
means SPX 1000+ and a negation of the "neckline".
DOW is also running into heavy resistance. If it clears 9100 a mover
significatnly higher is possible.
Currently mostly long in my options portfolio (APC, CSCO, DELL G, JNPR,
LAB, NXTL, QQQ, SUNW, WDC) except for MSFT and CLS. Still stuck with puts
in DD and JPM that were profitable, but have been trapped in account
transfer limbo for 2+ weeks. Will likely take losses on those.
Calls are all in the money or close to it (APC added today). The exception
is SUNW. I am loading up on October 5 calls at $0.35 - 0.40. So far 30
contracts. I will probably buy another 20.

5 hr cycle low is due at 12:00. Once again we have juxtapostion. Either
one cycle takes control or they fight to a draw and go sideways. If the
5hr cycle is in control, they push up again with next high due at 3:00. If
they roll over then 1 day cycle is controlling and next low is targeted
for around the same. It's almost a perfect opposition with one cycle due
ot be up and one down over the next 3 hours. .

967 a new cycle is in process with the following targets:
978 - 90 degrees
992 - 180 degrees
1006 - 270 degrees
1021 - 360 degrees
These are main numbers, there are other in between these with the most
important of them 985 on the 135 degree mark

Anals mid-day update.
1:15 One day cycle highs appear to have been hit late, around 12:15. This
is usually a sign of a continuing uptrend. Upside cmaps were hit in the
976-980 range and around 30.18 on the QQQ. The cycle is in a down phase as
of 1:00. The low is due by 3:00. The down phase looks like it will be flat
or shallow. 3 day cycle cmaps now look like 986-990 on the SPX and 30.25
on the QQQ, barring a bit of a break to the downside over the next hour.

Second penetration of the 11/25/02 pivot high. The first time it failed to
hold that level (4/23/03). If the volume follows during this time it
should target 51 in the short term and 62 in the longer term. It should
not trade below 44 in the short term and especially below 42 in the longer
term

The problem with negative divergences in an uptrend is that they are
symptomatic of a sidewasy down phase and are bullish in that context. If
price moves down after a negative divergence, then it signals that bigger
cycles have turned down. That's when they're bearish. Divergences happen
all the time when a cycle phase runs countrer to the larger phcycle phase
or ternd. They are basically neutral indications until resolved either in
the direction of the trend or against it. It's the direction of the
resolution that matters.
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 02:09 PM
Today is the first time that the SPX is trading above the 9/21/01 close
after an intermediate term bottom. The price area from 6/25/02-7/9/02
should provide some kind of resistance. Also the breakout level around 938
(the close of 11/27/02) needs to be tested again, if that upswing is to
continue.
I will repeat that the bulls need to close the week above 965 and the
bears below it

Actually there is. It has to do with the rate of the upswing. Fast up/Fast
down. The SPX is still on the "green" and 14 Nasdaq points isn't a big
deal after the huge run up we had.
In my opinion, this isn't going to be a very easy to trade downswing till
the end of July. The trend should be up till the end of October, according
to my analysis, so there is going to be accumulation during this drop.
That leaves us with a time period of about 2 months with a lot of trading
on both sides.
That's how I see it

I said this morning I thought there would be an opportunity to take shorts
in some big cap names around 11:00 and mentioned MSFT and CSCO. These
would have been slightly profitable if take at that time. A little better
later when CSCO in particular got close to cmap of 17.25. I had the high
cmap on qqq at 30.18 all day. That would have been a good play as the high
was 30.20, and the 3 day cmap was 30.25.
At this point, the 1 day cycle low should be in, and we should expect a
rebound in the AM. However, the longer cycles appear to be turning over,
so I would not be adverse to holding overnight through an AM up phase to
see what happens after that. Depends on your time frames and comfort
zones.

All the recent corrections have been 2-3 days in length, which one would
expect when trending. One of the first confirmation we need to see is a
selloff greater than 2 days. If we can overbalance on the daily (which
would be 936), then I will start to look for short entries.

If the last couple days of the rally were nothing more than month end tape
painting, the whole thing will unravel with breathtaking speed. So, like I
said, if I had taken those shorts I talked about earlier today, I
personally would hold overnight.
But I must remind everyone that I am a horseshit trader. You should do
what is right for you.
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 03:56 PM
Some general thoughts
975 was the lenght for two equal length swings to the upside from the
October lows. Believe me, everyone and their sister knew about it. So
having those with long positions since the March lows, or those that
entered on the December breakout talking some profits, is natural.
Also revisit the inverted H&S I posted over the weekend that showed the
965 area as the target of the mini H&S. The traders who trade these
patterns take profits here and generate the selling. Also expected.
Now we have the timining pointing to this week. Till recently I hadn't
heard many talking about an early June high. Now I read quite a few posts
from people who "count" having this timeframe as a top. I don't like that
and altough I expect a down swing towards the end of July, I'll be very
cautious on the shorts I'll carry overnight.
On top of that, add a shitload of shorts that held all the way up since
March. These people are going to start covering on any dip they see trying
to break even. I don't think the shorts have been blown out. Maybe some
hedge funds that play with other people's money could have been blown out.
But the ma and pa shorts that learned the game last July are still
holding.
Cause it take nuts to take a loss and ma and pa traders don't have them

The nature of the trade is changing guys.. I was talking to a friend
earlier and we both realized that. Last year it was easy. One direction.
Do you remember how difficult is was to buy the dip after the March 2000
top? Who would have thought that the top was in.
I remember buying the dips and getting blown off intraday. I remember
buying EMLX only to see it gap down 20 points the next day. Same with
CIEN. I remember buying a gap down at 124 and I would sell it for a loss
at 100 the same day.
Now it's the opposite. I short the rally when the market is supposed to
reverse and it doesn't....
Does that say something...??? It does to me

Good morning Stooltraders-
I'll start by posting a replay of Friday night's wrap up from the Weak End
Anals, and will be back with more as we approach the open.
QUOTE
The day started with the futures higher, what else is new, and the
market ran to a 5 hour cycle high around 11:00. A sideways down
phase followed until 1:45 then moved haltingly higher into the
close. That may have been the 5 hour cycle high. A 1 day cycle high
is due around 11:00 on Monday. The upside cmaps are 29.83 on the QQQ
and 965 on the SPX. Cmaps for the 3 day cycle high also due Monday
are 969 on the SPX and 30 on the QQQ. If they don't come on the
first push in the AM, they may make another try in the PM.
I'll just add that right now based onthe fucutures the cmap is 970.50.
Earlier this morning they hit 972.20, so 970.50 would be a lower high. Not
sure I'm reading the SPY's right, but they appear to have a cmap of 97.50,
which is where they are now. That's equivalent to 972 cash. That coincides
with the 3 day cycle cmap on the futures. The qqq appears to have a 1 day
cmap of 30.15 and 30.25 on the 3 day.

Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 09:02 AM
Good morning,
Let me start by following through on my AMGN short trade from Friday.
Since the stop didn't trigger I carry it overnight and today, pre-market
AMGN is up almost two points. So, having a stop at 1.25 points above
entry, I have to cover at a 3 point loss. That's a four digit loss to
start the week...
The lesson is this.. When the stop triggers, we have to take it, even if
it's a lot higher from were we thought it will be.
On to business...
We are entering one of the most critical week's of the year. If you
haven't seen the weekly chart I post over the weekend, visit my site on
Stoolcitites here :
http://stoolcities.c...kbelt/index.htm
We could see an accelerated move to the upside for a day or two and then
reversal to the downside before the week ends. So the key here is to see,
how the week will end. Assuming the high comes this week, the next turn is
late July early August. According to my calculations that should be
another intermediate term low. I don't expect it to be "deep". 50%
retracement of the advance since the March lows is my preference. I'll
update if that changes, based on what the market will actually do.
For today, I'll focus on just a couple of stocks on the long side. My
calendar shows CEPH, BGEN and MMM as stocks with pivots. That's for
day-trading.
My weekly analysis showed the following stocks nearing completion of
bearish weekly patterns: C, JPM, GS, LEH, CAT, UTX, HDI (and possibly
YHOO...no pattern here but a strong time pivot) These will be the stocks
I'll be looking to take shorts on IF the market reverses.
Have a good trading day, week and month
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 09:07 AM
Re: DNA
Last week I posted that the drop (that day it was down 3 points) was an
opportunity to buy on any pullback towards the 20 EMA on the 240m chart. I
also said that most will look to short it, but that was the wrong play.
Today DNA is up 8 points. The fact that it didn't even pulled back towards
the EMA on the 240m timeframe is another sign of great strength.
Take a look at the chart and see the characteristics of this stock before
the gap up today. The same characteristics appear on many stocks over and
over again.

BB & Doc,
I read the BB's comment's over the weekend on M2M, however his final
comment was veeery disappointing and instead of posting on M2M on the
weekend and risk his work[charts] being riped off and posted on other
websites by lurkers, perhaps BB could consider posting on 'Talking Stool'
in 'BB Weekend Forum' {i know he posts otherwise to that forum}which is
available to hundreds of paying stoolies instead of THOUSANDS of lurkers
and users. On the new weekend talking stool he could still invite the many
responses he received this weekend ?
BB, I hope that is a better alternative than posting on the free M2M ?
Doc,
YOU HAVE TO PROMOTE TalkingStool a bit more as many stoolies never ever go
there. In fact I didnt even go their until months after I joined
capitalstool. I am sure the discussion between BB and the stoolies could
be just as good if the stoolies visit it on a regular basis.
Hope you both can work this out as it helps to get BB's medium-longterm
thoughts instead of just his charts with short comments on stoolcities and
then the followup comments from other stoolies.

Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 09:52 AM
If I were going to do something today, I'd look for a move up into the
expected 11:00 AM 5 hr cycle high and find a big cap name that appeared
due for a concurrent high heading for a cmap and short it for a day trade,
with a tight stop just above the cmap, allowing for an upside into a 1 day
cycle high around 12:00. Alternatively, I could wait for the 1 day cycle
high. Will update you on my thinking prior to those times.
Posted by: zman Jun 2 2003, 09:52 AM
just a reminder at 10am the supply management manufacturing index comes
out..Last number was 45.4 they are expecting 48...if this is exceeded I
look for another push possibly to 977.60..if in line then should head
lower..
Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 09:55 AM
Unfortunately, while writing my posts, I sometimes miss things, like oops,

But the plan is to look toward 11:00, so I'll stick to that.

5m charts indicate impulse move to the upside. The pullback will be bought
and a new high should follow. That matches Doc's 1 day cycle projection.
I'll be looking for pullbacks to the 20 EMA on the 5m charts on uptrending

Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 10:07 AM
The SPX fell .40 shy of the 972 cmap. If the open was the high, I'm too
late on this move. So I'll wait for the next one. If the next cycle high
falls short, it suggests to me that I may be able to hold a short
overnight because the 3-8 day cycles might be rolling over. Too early to
know now, but these are the tings I will be looking for today as I look at
the Stooltrading charts.
Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 10:09 AM
OK, I have misspoke in a couple of posts. The expected 11:00 AM high is
for the 1 day cycle. The 5 hr high was at the open based on what I had
posted in the initial post. Mea culpa... Hopefully I'll get a second
chance around 11:00.

The 973/975 area seems to be key resistance and very strong resistance at
that. I am watching carefully as I think a strong move above this range
means SPX 1000+ and a negation of the "neckline".
DOW is also running into heavy resistance. If it clears 9100 a mover
significatnly higher is possible.
Currently mostly long in my options portfolio (APC, CSCO, DELL G, JNPR,
LAB, NXTL, QQQ, SUNW, WDC) except for MSFT and CLS. Still stuck with puts
in DD and JPM that were profitable, but have been trapped in account
transfer limbo for 2+ weeks. Will likely take losses on those.
Calls are all in the money or close to it (APC added today). The exception
is SUNW. I am loading up on October 5 calls at $0.35 - 0.40. So far 30
contracts. I will probably buy another 20.

5 hr cycle low is due at 12:00. Once again we have juxtapostion. Either
one cycle takes control or they fight to a draw and go sideways. If the
5hr cycle is in control, they push up again with next high due at 3:00. If
they roll over then 1 day cycle is controlling and next low is targeted
for around the same. It's almost a perfect opposition with one cycle due
ot be up and one down over the next 3 hours. .

Anals mid-day update.
1:15 One day cycle highs appear to have been hit late, around 12:15. This
is usually a sign of a continuing uptrend. Upside cmaps were hit in the
976-980 range and around 30.18 on the QQQ. The cycle is in a down phase as
of 1:00. The low is due by 3:00. The down phase looks like it will be flat
or shallow. 3 day cycle cmaps now look like 986-990 on the SPX and 30.25
on the QQQ, barring a bit of a break to the downside over the next hour.

Second penetration of the 11/25/02 pivot high. The first time it failed to
hold that level (4/23/03). If the volume follows during this time it
should target 51 in the short term and 62 in the longer term. It should
not trade below 44 in the short term and especially below 42 in the longer
term

The problem with negative divergences in an uptrend is that they are
symptomatic of a sidewasy down phase and are bullish in that context. If
price moves down after a negative divergence, then it signals that bigger
cycles have turned down. That's when they're bearish. Divergences happen
all the time when a cycle phase runs countrer to the larger phcycle phase
or ternd. They are basically neutral indications until resolved either in
the direction of the trend or against it. It's the direction of the
resolution that matters.
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 02:09 PM
Today is the first time that the SPX is trading above the 9/21/01 close
after an intermediate term bottom. The price area from 6/25/02-7/9/02
should provide some kind of resistance. Also the breakout level around 938
(the close of 11/27/02) needs to be tested again, if that upswing is to
continue.
I will repeat that the bulls need to close the week above 965 and the
bears below it

make the 984-986 projection moot. It could, but it hasn't done it yet.

Actually there is. It has to do with the rate of the upswing. Fast up/Fast
down. The SPX is still on the "green" and 14 Nasdaq points isn't a big
deal after the huge run up we had.
In my opinion, this isn't going to be a very easy to trade downswing till
the end of July. The trend should be up till the end of October, according
to my analysis, so there is going to be accumulation during this drop.
That leaves us with a time period of about 2 months with a lot of trading
on both sides.
That's how I see it

I said this morning I thought there would be an opportunity to take shorts
in some big cap names around 11:00 and mentioned MSFT and CSCO. These
would have been slightly profitable if take at that time. A little better
later when CSCO in particular got close to cmap of 17.25. I had the high
cmap on qqq at 30.18 all day. That would have been a good play as the high
was 30.20, and the 3 day cmap was 30.25.
At this point, the 1 day cycle low should be in, and we should expect a
rebound in the AM. However, the longer cycles appear to be turning over,
so I would not be adverse to holding overnight through an AM up phase to
see what happens after that. Depends on your time frames and comfort
zones.

All the recent corrections have been 2-3 days in length, which one would
expect when trending. One of the first confirmation we need to see is a
selloff greater than 2 days. If we can overbalance on the daily (which
would be 936), then I will start to look for short entries.

If the last couple days of the rally were nothing more than month end tape
painting, the whole thing will unravel with breathtaking speed. So, like I
said, if I had taken those shorts I talked about earlier today, I
personally would hold overnight.
But I must remind everyone that I am a horseshit trader. You should do
what is right for you.
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 03:56 PM
Some general thoughts
975 was the lenght for two equal length swings to the upside from the
October lows. Believe me, everyone and their sister knew about it. So
having those with long positions since the March lows, or those that
entered on the December breakout talking some profits, is natural.
Also revisit the inverted H&S I posted over the weekend that showed the
965 area as the target of the mini H&S. The traders who trade these
patterns take profits here and generate the selling. Also expected.
Now we have the timining pointing to this week. Till recently I hadn't
heard many talking about an early June high. Now I read quite a few posts
from people who "count" having this timeframe as a top. I don't like that
and altough I expect a down swing towards the end of July, I'll be very
cautious on the shorts I'll carry overnight.
On top of that, add a shitload of shorts that held all the way up since
March. These people are going to start covering on any dip they see trying
to break even. I don't think the shorts have been blown out. Maybe some
hedge funds that play with other people's money could have been blown out.
But the ma and pa shorts that learned the game last July are still
holding.
Cause it take nuts to take a loss and ma and pa traders don't have them

I have to run out quickly at the close.
Again, I extend my sincere thanks for joining me. I couldn't be here
without you and I very much need your support! If you think I've done a
half decent job here in Stooltrading, and I know you all enjoy blackbelt
and your fellow stooltraders, then please feel free to mention it when
appropriate, on IDS and elsewhere.
Again, my sincere thanks. Have a great evening.
Stool Out!

The nature of the trade is changing guys.. I was talking to a friend
earlier and we both realized that. Last year it was easy. One direction.
Do you remember how difficult is was to buy the dip after the March 2000
top? Who would have thought that the top was in.
I remember buying the dips and getting blown off intraday. I remember
buying EMLX only to see it gap down 20 points the next day. Same with
CIEN. I remember buying a gap down at 124 and I would sell it for a loss
at 100 the same day.
Now it's the opposite. I short the rally when the market is supposed to
reverse and it doesn't....
Does that say something...??? It does to me

Good morning Stooltraders!
Futures were trading in an odd line this morning. They are currently in an
up phase on the overnight cycle. A one day cycle low was due in in the
last hour yesterday, and while it was delayed, we should see an up phase
this morning that lasts until 12:30 on the basis of the 5 hour cycle and
2:00 PM on the basis of the 1 day cycle. However, if the market shifts
into a 3 hour wavelet, the first high would be due at 10:30. Since we
don't know what will happen, we want to keep our eyes on indicators for
all three time frames. That means watching the 26/18 stos, 25 period RoC's
and 12/26 MACD's on 4 minute, 6 minute, and the usual 8 minute bars.
Right now the the upside cmap on the fucutures is 969.25. The qqq has been
trading in a line in the after and pre-markets. It's now at 29.48 with too
narrow a range for an upside projection. The SPY has a cmap of 97.36,
which is more or less equivalent to 971 cash. Given the fucutres and the
spy indications let's expect a high around 970.
Aaaaand as I complete these comments, here comes the jam.
I will see you around the open!
Posted by: zman Jun 3 2003, 08:59 AM
Good morning all, I have first resistance at 977.23 -- 2nd resistance at
986.27
first support at 961.33-- then at 954.47. Pivot point is at 970.37. Have a
good trading day
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 09:10 AM
Good morning,
I decided that since there are people interested in what I have to say
about the markets, it's not fair to them to stop posting completly outside
this forum. So I'll open a thread on Talking Stool and post my thoughts on
the markets. That of course if I have anything to say. Feel free to
comment and add your own opinions too. I posted a message last night and I
also answered a question related to the cycles I follow. If you have
access to Talking Stool you might want to read it.
I'm not going to trade today. Last week it was raining and I didn't play
golf so I'll go and tee it up today. The market should put a lower low
today, a trade below yesterday's low. I do not have any time pivots
pointing to today. I do have a time pivot for tomorrow. As I wrote at
TalkingStool I don't think the Nasdaq high is in. The SPX could have been
in, but I'm not sure about that either. The truth is that I don't feel
confortable right now trading on either side of the trade. So I'll do my
best to keep myself out of trouble.
I updated the daily index charts on my site so if you like you can go and
see the coming time pivots and Fib levels
Have a good trading day

Nice old fashioned 1 day cycle swup under way. As I suspected there's
evidence of 3 hour waving, as we had a high right around 10:30. This may
cause a shift in the expected 5 hr cycle high to somewhat later then 12:30
and close to the expeted 1 day cycle high around 2:00. Overall, it points
to some weakness from 1:30- 2:00 to near the end of the day.

Not yet, need an intraday double-top to go with the earlier intraday
double-bottom (at least in the Q's). Should be done forming in a while.
The question is whether we get a good drop or just stay deranged™ bound.

Hmmm....a quick splurt up just as the intradays looked to be forming a
double-top. Closed my QQQ calls too early. Waiting for an intraday top
below yesterday's 2:30 pm levels to buy puts. If, for some reason, it
exceeds that, I'll have to consider going long again. I'm not expecting
it. This market needs a pull-back and consolidation before it tries to
break key resisistance levels.
Posted by: AnotherOne Jun 3 2003, 11:38 AM
On Livecharts, it look's like most of the cycles are tyring to turn up
after only a one day pull-back. Doesn't look right, but I'll have to be
cautious about shorting.

Not sure what cycle is in charge here. If it's 3 hours, they may drift up
until 3. If it's 5 hrs then down until 2:30.
5 hr ozzies are pointing down, and 1 day are still in the process of
rolling over. I think odds are good fro a downdraft.

tentative possible downside cmap on spx 962.50. qqq 29.30.
Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 01:36 PM
Anals PM Update-
1:25 The market made a 1 day cycle high at 12:00 and is working its way
grudgingly lower. A 5 hour cycle low is due at 2:30, and the 1 day cycle
low is due at the close. The 3 day cycle is in a week swup. the 5 day is
headed down and the 8 day seems to be slowly rolling over. We should have
some downside ahead. Very tentative cmaps at this point are 962.50 on the
SPX and 29.30 on QQQ. Given a little early acceleration here it could be a
lot worse.

they are being defended and with 5 hr low due by 2:30, should generate a

SPX - 240m
There is an important timing for tomorrow for the first half of trading.
Using the 60m chart I narrow it down to the second hour of trading and
when we apply the variance we get a time window between 9:30 and 11:30.
That should be a good pivot, whether it's a high or low. The chart below
shows the potential downside targets if a top is in place for now
Remember one step at a time... if these levels are surpassed to the
downside we start measuring again

Just in case tomorrow's pivot is a low and for day-trading purposes only,
CCMP could be a good long candidate. This is the one that shot up 5 points
yesterday. If it manages to hold above 47 and especially above 47.5 while
the market is pushing higher, for the day, it could try to test
yesterday's high.
I would prefer to see a low coming tomorrow, it's late for today

Another one for tomorrow. Today it tested the trendline that connects the
October and February lows. Last time it did that it consolidated for three
days and then moved up 4 points. This is the second time it's testing the
trendline and the previous bounce didn't put a new high.
It could go either way but usually these are the king of positions we want
to find stocks in. Decision time and big move moving. We just have to
identify the direction

Hard to say which cycle is in control here. If it turns lower in the next
few minutes then a 1 day cycle low is due around the close/open. If it
holds up, I 'd look for a 5 hr high around 10:30. All depends on what
happens now.

I think it will be the first. It should be a low near the open. The 1.618
ratio on the 60m chart doesn't appear in minor cycles. If it's correct,
then it should market the high or low for the day.
I'll prepare for both scenarios just in case..

The 5 hr cycle low was almost perfectly on schedule at 2:30, so I gotta go

starting to come down.

Well..
Judging from all the patterns that I see right now tomorrow should be an
up day. It doesn't mean it WILL be, but during an uptend, what we want to
see is selloff in the morning and reversals to the upside in the
afternoon. As wahoo said yesterday no more that two to three days
selloffs.
So if tomorrow the market doesn't come out of the pullback to the upside
and instead reverses and starts selling off, we will start seeing "cracks"
in the structure of the upswing.
The same rules apply to a downtrend.

I'd like to see a lower intraday high here.
Got impatient earlier so I have QQQ July 29 calls and June 30 puts.
Waiting to see which way this thing devolves.
Back in MSFT July 25, GE July 30 and CLS July 15 puts.

Cut my gold/silver shares by 40% after reading JSMineset today. Was
heavily margined, so I am reducing exposure. Sold most of tech and biotech
holdings yesterday and today.
I am expecting some kind of pullback before this rally resumes. Once
direction is clear, I'll add positions accordingly.
Still watching silver for a bottom in the $4.30's to 4.40's to re-enter.
Seems to be in a pattern with lows about there and highs in the $4.70's to
4.80's.

that works out pretty well with ET. Thanks for sharing. I just bought ET
and will use this scenario and target 10 with a sell at 7.50(its pretty
close to strategy I had in mind)...sell and buy back at that level or 5
below....if 12.50 gets hit next that would be about what the company is
worth if bought out from what my value friend says.....just an idea....

A natural number is a "regulal" number... 1,2,3,4 etc...
Gann wrote about them and Murrey the inventor of Murrey Math did extensive
work on them.
Take the number 10 since we count on the base of 10, divide it by 4 you
get 2.25. So between 2.25 and 10 you have: 2.25, 5, 7.5, 10. Between each
of these two divisions take the middle part, the 50%.
What do you get? 2.25, 3.25, 5, 6.25, 7.5, 8.75, 10.
The 50% level is the most important level and when a stock or market falls
to that level it's a "safe" buy according to Gann. 50% level from the
all-time high on the SPX 776.45
Hope that helps

Looks like the 5 hour cycle up phase will continue into tomorrow morning .
the high is due at 10:30 at 971-72 and 29.89. Then we'll look ofr the 1
day cycle high at 12:00. Could be higher or lower. That will tell the
story of the strength of what looks like a 3 day cycle swup at this point.
I expect it to peter out tomorrow in the PM, when the 5 and 8 day cyels
should start coming down.

Everything in the markets as in nature, is about numbers. Nothing more.
We, as humans need to believe that there are fundamentals, P/Es, value/no
value because this is the way we understand our world. But when you forget
all of that and you open your mind you will see pure numbers. Vibrations
between the 0 and the 10 and multiples of it.
Difficult to accept? If you want give it a shot....

Good morning Stooltraders!
Futures were trading in an odd line this morning. They are currently in an
up phase on the overnight cycle. A one day cycle low was due in in the
last hour yesterday, and while it was delayed, we should see an up phase
this morning that lasts until 12:30 on the basis of the 5 hour cycle and
2:00 PM on the basis of the 1 day cycle. However, if the market shifts
into a 3 hour wavelet, the first high would be due at 10:30. Since we
don't know what will happen, we want to keep our eyes on indicators for
all three time frames. That means watching the 26/18 stos, 25 period RoC's
and 12/26 MACD's on 4 minute, 6 minute, and the usual 8 minute bars.
Right now the the upside cmap on the fucutures is 969.25. The qqq has been
trading in a line in the after and pre-markets. It's now at 29.48 with too
narrow a range for an upside projection. The SPY has a cmap of 97.36,
which is more or less equivalent to 971 cash. Given the fucutres and the
spy indications let's expect a high around 970.
Aaaaand as I complete these comments, here comes the jam.
I will see you around the open!

Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 09:10 AM
Good morning,
I decided that since there are people interested in what I have to say
about the markets, it's not fair to them to stop posting completly outside
this forum. So I'll open a thread on Talking Stool and post my thoughts on
the markets. That of course if I have anything to say. Feel free to
comment and add your own opinions too. I posted a message last night and I
also answered a question related to the cycles I follow. If you have
access to Talking Stool you might want to read it.
I'm not going to trade today. Last week it was raining and I didn't play
golf so I'll go and tee it up today. The market should put a lower low
today, a trade below yesterday's low. I do not have any time pivots
pointing to today. I do have a time pivot for tomorrow. As I wrote at
TalkingStool I don't think the Nasdaq high is in. The SPX could have been
in, but I'm not sure about that either. The truth is that I don't feel
confortable right now trading on either side of the trade. So I'll do my
best to keep myself out of trouble.
I updated the daily index charts on my site so if you like you can go and
see the coming time pivots and Fib levels
Have a good trading day
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 09:39 AM

Nice old fashioned 1 day cycle swup under way. As I suspected there's
evidence of 3 hour waving, as we had a high right around 10:30. This may
cause a shift in the expected 5 hr cycle high to somewhat later then 12:30
and close to the expeted 1 day cycle high around 2:00. Overall, it points
to some weakness from 1:30- 2:00 to near the end of the day.

Hmmm....a quick splurt up just as the intradays looked to be forming a
double-top. Closed my QQQ calls too early. Waiting for an intraday top
below yesterday's 2:30 pm levels to buy puts. If, for some reason, it
exceeds that, I'll have to consider going long again. I'm not expecting
it. This market needs a pull-back and consolidation before it tries to
break key resisistance levels.

On Livecharts, it look's like most of the cycles are tyring to turn up

Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 01:36 PM
Anals PM Update-
1:25 The market made a 1 day cycle high at 12:00 and is working its way
grudgingly lower. A 5 hour cycle low is due at 2:30, and the 1 day cycle
low is due at the close. The 3 day cycle is in a week swup. the 5 day is
headed down and the 8 day seems to be slowly rolling over. We should have
some downside ahead. Very tentative cmaps at this point are 962.50 on the
SPX and 29.30 on QQQ. Given a little early acceleration here it could be a
lot worse.

SPX - 240m
There is an important timing for tomorrow for the first half of trading.
Using the 60m chart I narrow it down to the second hour of trading and
when we apply the variance we get a time window between 9:30 and 11:30.
That should be a good pivot, whether it's a high or low. The chart below
shows the potential downside targets if a top is in place for now
Remember one step at a time... if these levels are surpassed to the
downside we start measuring again

We have a nice cozy group here. I was wondering if any of you have
any ideas how we could attract a few more people. I'm not the
greatest when it comes to marketing. You can PM or email me with
feedback. Many tanks!
Getting the market to plunge about 3% would be a good start

Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 02:17 PM
Just in case tomorrow's pivot is a low and for day-trading purposes only,
CCMP could be a good long candidate. This is the one that shot up 5 points
yesterday. If it manages to hold above 47 and especially above 47.5 while
the market is pushing higher, for the day, it could try to test
yesterday's high.
I would prefer to see a low coming tomorrow, it's late for today

Doc,
Based on the current cycle configuration can you guess what tomorrow
morning might be? I try to see if the morning pivot I have will be a high
or a low. Tanks

Another one for tomorrow. Today it tested the trendline that connects the
October and February lows. Last time it did that it consolidated for three
days and then moved up 4 points. This is the second time it's testing the
trendline and the previous bounce didn't put a new high.
It could go either way but usually these are the king of positions we want
to find stocks in. Decision time and big move moving. We just have to
identify the direction

Yupper,.. the one day chart gave it away... long again @2.14.
Lowered my stop... faked me out good last time and took it from me @ 2.11.
IMO, I see no resistance on this stock as far as volume is concerned.
Valuation, that's a whole another story....

Hard to say which cycle is in control here. If it turns lower in the next
few minutes then a 1 day cycle low is due around the close/open. If it
holds up, I 'd look for a 5 hr high around 10:30. All depends on what
happens now.
Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 03:10 PM
Going down to a 3-4 hour basis, this looks toppy. Next 10-15 minutes
should tell.

Thanks Doc.
I think it will be the first. It should be a low near the open. The 1.618
ratio on the 60m chart doesn't appear in minor cycles. If it's correct,
then it should market the high or low for the day.
I'll prepare for both scenarios just in case..

right now, 29.74 and 969.50 look like interim cmaps on tis move. that
doesn't mean it's over at that point, just that it could be. Won't know
until indicators reach extermes in conjunction with cmaps.

Add this one for tomorrow as well. Only on the long side.. Mini inverted

The pattern starts on 5/5/03
Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 03:22 PM
The 5 hr cycle low was almost perfectly on schedule at 2:30, so I gotta go
with that. That means that if it turns down before 10:00, bigger waves are
starting to come down.

5 million share block on SIRI just stalled it...
Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 03:31 PM
Well..
Judging from all the patterns that I see right now tomorrow should be an
up day. It doesn't mean it WILL be, but during an uptend, what we want to
see is selloff in the morning and reversals to the upside in the
afternoon. As wahoo said yesterday no more that two to three days
selloffs.
So if tomorrow the market doesn't come out of the pullback to the upside
and instead reverses and starts selling off, we will start seeing "cracks"
in the structure of the upswing.
The same rules apply to a downtrend.

When it comes to small priced stocks think in increments. 2.50 first, then
3.25 , then 5, then 7.5
Each of these levels will be resistance. The price has to first climb a
level to target the next. Natural number division.
See the level where the block came in, slightly above the 2.5... magic!

Cut my gold/silver shares by 40% after reading JSMineset today. Was
heavily margined, so I am reducing exposure. Sold most of tech and biotech
holdings yesterday and today.
I am expecting some kind of pullback before this rally resumes. Once
direction is clear, I'll add positions accordingly.
Still watching silver for a bottom in the $4.30's to 4.40's to re-enter.
Seems to be in a pattern with lows about there and highs in the $4.70's to
4.80's.

that works out pretty well with ET. Thanks for sharing. I just bought ET
and will use this scenario and target 10 with a sell at 7.50(its pretty
close to strategy I had in mind)...sell and buy back at that level or 5
below....if 12.50 gets hit next that would be about what the company is
worth if bought out from what my value friend says.....just an idea....

Many tanks
A natural number is a "regulal" number... 1,2,3,4 etc...
Gann wrote about them and Murrey the inventor of Murrey Math did extensive
work on them.
Take the number 10 since we count on the base of 10, divide it by 4 you
get 2.25. So between 2.25 and 10 you have: 2.25, 5, 7.5, 10. Between each
of these two divisions take the middle part, the 50%.
What do you get? 2.25, 3.25, 5, 6.25, 7.5, 8.75, 10.
The 50% level is the most important level and when a stock or market falls
to that level it's a "safe" buy according to Gann. 50% level from the
all-time high on the SPX 776.45
Hope that helps

Looks like the 5 hour cycle up phase will continue into tomorrow morning .
the high is due at 10:30 at 971-72 and 29.89. Then we'll look ofr the 1
day cycle high at 12:00. Could be higher or lower. That will tell the
story of the strength of what looks like a 3 day cycle swup at this point.
I expect it to peter out tomorrow in the PM, when the 5 and 8 day cyels
should start coming down.
Have a great night and many tanks for being here! See you tonight in the

Everything in the markets as in nature, is about numbers. Nothing more.
We, as humans need to believe that there are fundamentals, P/Es, value/no
value because this is the way we understand our world. But when you forget
all of that and you open your mind you will see pure numbers. Vibrations
between the 0 and the 10 and multiples of it.
Difficult to accept? If you want give it a shot....
See ya tomorrow.
