Only the FED can prevent another great August Short, #2 so far this month, and this one could be even bigger than the first. 

 

This will be invalidated if the FED comes in early to the rate table with a cut and/or starts QE (not wimpish QE but the real thing)

or if there is "good news" on the Chins Trade talks. 

 

If there is none of the above then get ready for another profitable SHORT trade at these levels or higher. 

 

More trash talk as the trading world awaits the YUAN FIX less than an hour from now:

 

Washington's repeated bullying has made it meaningless to continue trade talks in short run. China is mobilizing internally to fight firmly with the US, and all official media is participating in the mobilization. China and the US are caught in a stalemate worse than last round.

This would be the 7th time since the end of the financial crisis that the Nasdaq reversed at least a 1.5% intraday loss, dipping below its lowest close of the past couple of months. All 6 of the others rallied at least 3% over the next couple of weeks.

Every time the 30Y yield moved by 40+ bps in 5 days something very major happened.

Why?

 

 

a trend of YUAN fixes above 7 tells us the Chinese are determined to depreciate and continue to weaponize the yuan.

CHAOS? no, these are great times to daytrade or ST trade 

big moves, volatility, range expansion, that is not CHAOS

it is a trader's dream

Daytrading or ST trading takes years to develop to the point where it can be profitable; also have separate daytrading and LT portfolio accounts. 

I also have a risk portfolio that also serves as a partial or temporary hedge - trade mainly QQQ options, VXX, and other options/ETFs

Replying to @michaelbatnick

Day trading is very profitable for 1%. Kind of like the 1% that bang the hottest models. Winning is hard, otherwise everyone could do it. It's a skill based strategy, but most cant do it. In any case, I recommend people create a separate account vs Long term holdings
