US Future Markets; Shorting Optimism, Buying Fear.

Dec 13, 2023

Hey Traders,

The FOMC Meeting is underway and comments are coming across the wires about the state of monetary policy and the handling of the economy.

Tentatively positive comments are being spoken leading to a further rise in the value of the SPX.

Here's why I'm short biased.

Dec 14, 2023

Note

Make sure any shorts are ;

1. Light

2. Spread out.

Last bit of news for the week, maintaining same bias

Note

Bias continued into monday.

Dec 16, 2023

Note

Markets closing even higher around prev highs. Any added entries, do remember that you can, and likely will find you break highs ultimately. Although we are short biased, we are not existentially shorting.

Should be out for Exit 1. Reshort areas approaching.
