If the direction continues 1465 is the first target (200ma 1hr) a target that has been hit on most rises from lows, makes an obvious one, D

You'll get used to it when you've found your system (speaking of your results you've found it ). It's all part of the progress.

I don’t really have any short term advice to offer unfortunately. It’s amazing you’ve been able to repeatedly short this bull market though, when we finally get a correction you stand to do very well.

Thanks Ef, the idea was the short side would be on the break for madness, as I've done again, may or may not happen, looking for the domino effect, if the Dow tumbles it could be epic so jocking for the best position, that said it's defying gravity as ever, thanks for taking the time, D

My pleasure detector. You remind me of Paul Tudor Jones who took a lot of shots at calling tops/bottoms and managed to be very successful at it.

Thank you for the compliment Ef, although recent trades have not been as lucrative, seems I cannot get over that bar ATM, bit like the hammer game at the fair where you ring the bell, just missing the top however I have missed a few opportunities where I could have taken profit but the trades turned, this was my forte (sorry not boasting) but I've tried squeezing the big one and getting caught, change is not good, will go back to the old way, speaking of which, my Dow is showing a little profit, do I close and go all in WTI, think this is on the way to 60, but very unstable for an "off the cliff" fall, all that being said, I'm a little distracted ATM, thinking retirement until the new year, but cannot put it down when I see the charts, will just have to figure this out, hope your good and thanks again,D

Dow falling off a little, if it carries on in the same vein 27500 could be a target,D

Closed gold for the record, seems the gap on open after the break will be filled so it will be back down at some point, GN all speak tomorrow, good chess, D
EDIT
WTI closed also.

I read somewhere recently that US 10y yield leads equity indexes by 21 days. I decided to chart this, the S&P is Blue and 10y bond yield is Red.

I admit the relationship looks flimsy, but if it actually holds it does look bearish for the Dow, Nasdaq, etc going into December.

I also made a longer term chart (with no offset) plotting equities against bonds. Notice the divergence lately... I think this is very interesting and is probably also a negative for equities.

Looking at the short vs long end of the curve, I wouldn't be very confident that we are out of the woods in terms of the curve inverting.

Agreed. Correction seems overdue.

While it isn't inverted anymore, the signal is already in as far as I'm concerned and I'm planning accordingly. I'm still thinking we get another push higher in the S&P since we still don't have a breadth problem and I'd guess we're still looking at a top around 3,200. We're not that far so I might have to revise it higher depending on how things play out. I'm still about 60% long.
