Trend Update - Short term trend change

These are the trends in various timeframes based on a objective trend identification methodology. No "If"s and "But"s are allowed.

LONG TERM

This controls the long term trends which runs for years, mostly good for investors. To me this is the timeframe which determines bull and bear markets.

Currently BULLISH
Will turn bearish approximately around 2500 level. Will publish the exact level, if and when we break 2500.

INTERMEDIATE TERM

This controls the medium term trends which run for weeks to a few months. Trading in the direction of the intermediate term trend offers the highest risk/reward and path of least resistance for short and medium term traders.

Currently BEARISH
Will turn bullish approximately around 2760 level. Will publish the exact level, if and when we break 2760.


SHORT TERM

This controls the short term trends which runs anywhere from 2 - 15 days. These signals can change quickly and for nimble short term traders.

Currently BEARISH

My short term trend turned bearish today at SPX 2659.

What exactly is Trading Edge ?

Any trader in the markets, for any length of time understand that in order to suceed as a trader they need to have: 1) Trading system with an edge 2) Money management 3) Good trader psychology and emotional quotient Trading edge is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient condition.

Even with a good trading edge and money management, you could fail if you do not have the right psychology to execute the trade and persist in the face of losses. That's another subject for another post. 1), 2) and 3) are necessary conditions, but not sufficient conditions in themselves. I have heard people say flippantly that even a coin toss with good money managment can make money in the long run. Absolutely untrue ! If you do not have a trading edge, money management and psycholog

Sentiment - Long term vs short term

While the CNN fear and greed index can be a good indicator of short-term tops and bottoms, there is something more sinister at play here. Whenever the CNN fear and greed index goes to the extremes, a reflex bounce occurs to reset the sentiment. But that may not create the necessary conditions for a sustainable intermediate-term bottom. Here's why. The investors intelligence survey recorded some extremes in spreads between the bears and bulls. The spread even exceeded the 1987 top. I posted this many times on traders-talk.com. But this was largely ignored by amateurs and professionals alike, as the parabolic move gave a false sense of security that nothing could go wrong. The amount of froth and participation required to create a parabolic advance, in itself is a huge measure of sentiment. You don't need any sentiment surveys. Just one look at Dec 2017 to Feb 2018 charts of Bitcoin, ICOs and the S&P/DOW/Nasdaq should sum it all up. What differentiates a minor top from a
