Q&A

Received a few emails which question both astrology and astrologers.

I think we just need to step back and understand what we are questioning here.
First of all .
Hindu astrology, Chinese astrology or Western astrology are not the same.
One reads what they see and makes a judgement on what they believe will be.
It's very short minded to think that an astrologer will lead you to predicting a market 100% of the time right.
As I have said before you use it to filter your own work not lead.
Even some of you who are good astrologers will realize that our calls don't match.
This is because I use different methods to your own.
So please before you jump up and down,look at what your doing as apposed to what the astrology is saying.
The levels of expertise isn't the same.

Trading isn't for everyone, some have the discipline for it while others have the agression.
While some do question there methods at times when the market isn't going there way.
The biggest decision one needs to take is self assessment.
Sure the technical analysis industry is a thriving business and do charge thousands to learn there methods. Whether its gann or Fibonacci or ABC moves.

Lets get one thing straight I am not discrediting any method used.

But what many new to the market must start to realize is that everyone uses the same method.
Some would look at there charts daily when trading and try to find clues of the next move, which is great.
I know people at investment banks who study charts 12 hours a day minimum, 5 and 6 days a week.
Others are paid hundreds of thousands to be inform about the next move, from charting.

There are algorithms out there which move on crossing moving averages, stochastic, MACD and the list goes on.
But there setting are very diverse.

Example...
There is a program which will sell X amount of contracts into a turn up MACD  just to squeeze out short term players only to buy double after the 4 minutes execution of the sell.within the 15 minute time frame

It's these sorts of programs which are squeezing the retail traders out, by slowly chipping at there bank balance.

This is what you are up against and yes as time goes on its going to become more difficult.
The good thing is that you can take holidays and know that the computer is trading for you.

While yes they have tried to incorporate astrology into an algorithm it has to be put in manually and the chance for error is huge, astrology is never the same,as its always changing.

A Californian firm tried it out and tested it with a 67% drawdown in the first 2 months.

I hope this has answer all your email concerns

30th Nov close

Even all
Its important to understand how the system work.(markets)
While many live and breath technical analysis that is your choice and its great.
But market fundamentals are also important.

When you can explain how 3 minutes before the 4pm NYT close market spike 4 handles only to fall back 4 handles 42 seconds later.
No one open there mouth or said anything.

So how does it work well pay attention and you will understand.
As for the Frank Dodd bill well thats just a croc of shit. (giving someone something to do to keep him occupied)
We all know that last day of the month window dressing, amongst friends in the morning calls go out to see what is on the cards.
Sure some wont believe it but its true it happens because I too used to do it.

Retail believes the market will be up as managers will want to dress there books.
So what you do it during the course morning you have an idea who is doing what.
So you load up on shorts on the futures to supress the market and buy your stock.
By 3.55pm all has to be executed.
In the last couple of minutes you go to market will all your short futures contracts to close.
All of a sudden the algorythms jump on board and join the move.
Once 4pm hits and stocks are closed the algorythms are exposed and immediately sell the futures.
This is the system you trade and thats why its dangerous last day of the month.
Sure some will say T+3 yep thats for the pension funds, not market funds.

Today in trading we took a clip on the copper which was disappointing.
I couldnt resist the theft that was going on and short both the NQ 2681.5and the ES 1416.

To the metal traders JPM isnt going to let gold go.
Once again there footprint was evident.


For the Financial astrology students

The Sunday Sun Jup oppo should create some sort of bad words attached to it.
I suspect someone will come out with harsh words and the market could fall.

With the Sun still at 2 degrees I still dont have a buy on gold at the present time.
If anything I feel as tho next week gold could get pushed down hard to turn the technicals and blast the shorts out.

With the margins coming down in metals more retail has jumped on board.
Easy picking for the investment banks!

Question is when gold breaks 1700 how much damage will it do with the stops 1697-1700.
A good 5-10k volume would squeeze it down under 1690.
There are more easier trades than gold so please leave it for another week.

I like platinum at the present time, but would like to buy around the 1570 area or lower, keep an eye on it. the astrology will shine on it from Wednesday on.

To the coffee emails.
Coffee will take off next year.
Next year is 2013 not 2012.
Weather damage will hit the growing regions hard devastating crops and should put a bid under the commodity.
Until then all the mini spikes are just shorts covering.
Sure if prices keep falling then I might have to look at some calls but until then it can wait.

Email Question.
Do I stay up all night trading?
I only stay up and trade when I have powerful astrology.
If I have no positions in the market why stay up and look for trades?
I do financial astrology to trade certain times, take my money and walk away.

At the present time I am Not taking any Managed Accounts.
Our new platforn which DDE's into other platforms is working well.
Another week of testing is planned

29th Nov still another 90 minutes to trade before US close

Afternoon all.

Well today is basically a continuation of yesterday really all hype that a deal will be done.
Yesterday we had the "I said" which ran the market up.
Over the weekend we will have the "you said" scenario so could get a quick shake out.

Also something to look at!

Market at one stage was down almost 4% for the month and now looks like closing positive not bad if you ask me.

For those who want to short the market you will have some protection over the next couple of days with the end of the month squaring/booking profits tomorrow.
Its important to understand fund managers get paid on performance, and no one like to work a hole month for nothing.

Any move down will be quick and direct followed by another rally so don't fall in love with the trade.
I don't see 1383 breaking.
Today all I have done is short copper at 3.5880 looking for at least 35400 or lower by tomorrow.

To the Financial astrology students.

Sunday we have the Sun Jupiter Opp.
This is important as restraint and limitations on ideas could hold back progress.
I think this could have some political posturing happening.
As I said yesterday everyone wants there 5 minutes of fame.

If the Republican where smart they would allow what is needed quickly and gain big time on the back end.( next vote)

By the way metal traders I still am waiting on a 1700 shake before being a buyer in gold.

29th Nov hour before Europe opens

Hello all

Well you all saw what a lunar eclipse can do. LOL
Much was expected and we had a great trading day.

Lets get one thing straight for all the gold traders.
I'm not going to start criticizing any astrologer for there call on gold.
As I have stated before you use the astrology to confirm your work not lead.
Yesterday in the metals was a lesson for many retail clients.
The ETF market is a retail clients exposure to commodities or indexes, without get into the futures market.
Now the lesson here is and you should make a note of it is that you don't trade options week.
Lets go one step further, there was a put on the GLD yesterday that needed to be protected at any
Cost.
As it happen the writer of the option JPM had to protect the put or else exercising of options would mean JPM would need to come into the gold market and buy a bucket load of gold.
As you know the GLD is backed by gold.
So as it happen JPM yes my friends raped the retail market once again.
Do I care no as we had no position in gold but one thing is to note you need to trade not fall in love with commodities.
There time is mixed going forward apart from coffee which will run like crazy next year.

It's important to note that a deal will be worked out soon in the US, regardless of the media spin,it's almost a done deal, just both sides want there five minutes of fame.

So the 1383 low is it by my outlook, now I'm looking for 1480-1500 in the next 2 to 3 weeks.
Please remember people that its not expensive as the market is still trading at a 12 multiple.


To the MA once again we have had a great month we are however going to tapper off the trading to book the month.

To the financial astrology students please note that with yesterday's lunar bottoms and tops are marked. These should last for at least 60 days if not longer so take note.
While some dislike Gemini moons and use the word deceit, the degree in which its in doesn't warrant this.
I see it as an I said, you said, we said , ok lets just do it
, and we are both heroes.

Questions from email
The US inflation rate is a joke my friends everything is excluded except wages, it's for this reason inflation is not existent.
If the US used the traditional inflation rule of thumb like the rest of the world where everything is included it would be running around 5%.
Not the crap we are fed at the present time.

2.
 In Australia I suspect around 75% of trades are now executed by algorithm.
While many will find it hard to accept this, it's the truth as I have seen them in action.
The same goes with the German market it's for this reason that the volatility has washed out of the market.
You see it in the Vix also , market went down 100 handles from the higher before the election and yet the Vix went down not up.
The little advantages the retailer had over the institutions are fading fast.

It's for this reason I say every serious trader needs to have an understanding of financial astrology.
Will it beat the algorithms on its own maybe not but it will clean up your trading to return you more money.

This was my lesson by my mentor in trading..
In a dam of 5 sharks your always going to get bitten once or twice a month.
In the ocean of 200 sharks your not going to get bitten as often or at all as the ocean is a huge area to cover and territorial.
Think about it..

27th Nov 3 hours after the close

Evening all.

Once again we have a wonderful situation where the astrology has been on the money.
We got the pop up as anticipated and we took our shorts.
One thing to note is this move down isn't going to be a serious correction as some email have argued.
To me this its just simply shaking the tree and watching the monkeys fall out nothing more.
Don't get all bearish as you will be fooled.

For those who want to know where we are short from,

ES 1404.25
NQ 2652
A$ 10466

In the oil options yes we took a small hit which was disappointing but sometimes it is what it is.

Now please note that should the market fall to the 1385 area or lower I am going to look at the 1390 options once again at 10 point.
I'm in no rush to buy them so please don't jump the gun as the market if it closes under 1380 tomorrow could open the door for 1350, but I doubt it.
To the metal traders I don't have a buy on metals as yet.
My work is still void  at the present time regardless of the move we have had.
I will have some negatives for copper tomorrow around 11am NYT and carrying through to Friday.

Please make sure before you consider this that it agrees with your technical analysis.

To the Financial Astrology students the lunar eclipse will trigger many conjunction after its 24 hour ordeal.
This means watch the grains and the metals. Platinum in particular.
With the market many 6 degrees aspect are Aline, keep an eye on out of  the blue news to run the market and stocks.
The flip side to that china is being hit hard by squares and opposition.
News out of china will be negative to the industrial stocks.

The other point to note is that in January the solar eclipse will be at 3 degrees of the Australia's birth chart.
Expect bad economic news to gather momentum in Australia with government powerless to do anything.( the old ways no longer work, where cutting rates stimulates growth.Tax cuts are required but government will refuse to execute).

27th Nov 2 hours before open

Hello all

Hope you all had a wonderful couple of days off.
In the market place well what can I say the ambush was to the upside which was good for those who are long.
In the metals we saw a huge ambush to the upside also which took me by surprise also.
Today we will be closing out the options trade on the oil.

So where too next ?

For the financial astrology students.

We seen mercury go direct yesterday.
While this will clear up a great many clouds hanging over the market the direction in which the market will now be more evident.

Today we have the second leg of the Taurus moon start waning so anticipate a drop off at some point.
With some sort of disturbing news to come out after the close today one might want to look around the midday afternoon to short and hold for tomorrow.
The Lunar Eclipse tomorrow come in at 9.46am NYT.
Work back 12 hours before and 12 hours after you should fined the reason for the fall.
The fall will be quick and sharp.
Could even be a low/bottom for the next move up.
Use it to your advantage
This Eclipse is a very negative one and will be felt emotionally and financially by those with weak moons aspects at the present time.
The best thing to do during the next 3 months if this is the case is to share responsibilities.
Don't try and do it all yourself, if your in this area ask for help or put your head down and research.
You will gain greatly at the next eclipse while those who are lazy/stubborn will feel the full force of it.

Please note new readers.
That Fnancial astrology is a filter to your own work.
Dont use it as a leading indicator, to your technical analysis.
