Trading Tactics to Capture Wild Market Swings

By: Joseph_Russo

For Short-Term Traders; HUGE SWINGS = HUGE PROFITS
Amid colossal intervention efforts and unbridled attempts to manipulate markets, socialize losses, and control price levels, disciplined impartial trade executions conveyed through our blended strategic trade advisory continue to produce stellar short-term profits fully consistent with the large market swings inherent with such endeavor.

Epic Intervention is a by-product of larger degree (bear market) Elliott Waves
Despite the otherwise contrived appearance of manipulation and intervention, authority puppets in wishful control alongside the resultant manic price-action displayed, are merely following larger degree Elliott Wave scripts to a tee. Aware of this well in advance, the 1000-pt two-day (10%) reversal in the Dow came as no surprise to us at all; in fact, we were fully expecting such a move.

When it comes to strategically trading broad market equity indices profitably, there is simply no match for Elliott Wave Technology's Near Term Outlook . We continue to respectfully challenge any short-term advisory or software generated algorithms to improve upon or better optimize the efficiency of tactical trading dynamics dispatched daily for the Dow, S&P, or NDX. 

What Next

We are confident that despite (more) emergency rule changes imposed by authorities - that markets will continue to trade and behave in nominal accordance with the inherent technical underpinnings that have always governed them. If such impositions artificially inflate prices over the near-term, so be it - the price action shall alert us to such well in advance.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself - after all, the entire financial sphere spawned from various forms of artificial assumption since its very inception. Until US military tanks roll up to the White House lawn and begin firing as the Soviets did back in the 90's, you can bet your bottom dollar (no pun intended) that money will continue to flow vibrantly both in and out of trading accounts.

A snapshot of Intermediate-Term Cyclical Trends

Last week we looked at long-term secular trends. Below, we take an intermediate-term cyclical look at the same four essential sectors of the financial sphere. In general-order of importance, they are sovereign nations':

•  Currency and/or supply of money

•  Long-Term Interest Rate, or cost of currency

•  Commodities (In this case, represented by Gold)

•  And finally Broad Based Equities or Stock Indices (represented below by the S&P 500)
