SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 03/30

30 mar 2023

Window Dressing Buoying The Markets?

As we wrote in our trading plans on Tue., 03/28: "However, our models indicate the risk for the markets to spike to the upside rather than to the downside, owing to the potential for quarter-end window dressing. We will get more clarity on this potential as we approach Friday". Our models continue to monitor the price action today for a potential spike up into tomorrow.

Positional Trading Models: Only nimble, opportunistic trading - as opposed to positional trading - could be safe in these waters. Hence, our positional models are indicating to stay on the sidelines for yet another day.

By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.

Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.

Trading Plans for THU. 03/30:

Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4057, 4042, 4033, or 4016  with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4053, 4029, 4013, or 4007 with a 9-point trailing stop. 

Models indicate explicit long exit on a break below 4038, and explicit short exit on a break above 4010. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:31am ET or later.

By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).

To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.
