Thank you president Trump for Making America Great Again. I look forward to less inflation, crime committing illegals gone, Hamas releasing all hostages, Ukraine war coming to an end, and peace will again rule the world.

My risk summation system identified last Friday January 17th as a turn window for the dollar and my indicator based trading system was screaming sell dollars.  I didn't note it in this week's risk window post because hardly anybody ever responds to my money system posts.  I'm glad to hear somebody else at this site is interested in the currency. 

 

The next currency turn risk windows the summation system has identified are this Wednesday January 22nd, next Monday January 27th and next Wednesday January 29th (this one may stretch into Thursday the 30th).

 

Regards,

Douglas

It's going to be a big day tomorrow, and ES may hit 6100 overnight ............................

By the close the market holds most of the gain today and technically SPX made a breakout above the ST down trend line.  Let's see what it will bring on the index futures market on the inauguration day next Monday though US cash market is on holiday schedule.  We may see another gap up on Tuesday .............................

I don't know the positioning in the DOLLAR, but, it's a trade that everyone was touting----that's short the DOLLAR. Here is one guy?

IBIT trades have been tops in recent times. Far more CALLS than PUTS because BITCOIN is still in a roaring bull market. This may change as more COIN SELLERS come in, latest been DONALD T & MELANIA! That was wild. Will close all IBIT CALLS and maybe ooen a very small PUT pisition if it trades near 62 & above

Yeah, it was whiplash but good to trade ST FOREX and also ES, NQ, AND YM for a few hours. Am short only 1 each ES, NQ, YM, and holding small QQQ, SPY, DIA CALLS. I am not holding or trading any thing longer than ST & VST timeframes. Has been a nice JANUARY 2025 & want to hold on to 4.7% gain so far.
New TRUMP Presidency should settke into the job soon but he is not really a subdued guy for too long. I do want to be caught up in extreme volatile swings. So it is more VST & ST trading. Gradually accummulate a few % points gain & see how it goes into February.
My FF is new ATHs and then a few SHARP PULLBACKS. Could be huge swings in February but generally up unless major geopolitical events.

I woke up this morning feeling a lot safer this morning but always late as I'm still watching Australian tennis to late.  My over the weekend 6040 short was taken out for 10 points with the market opening down Sunday afternoon and then I built another short there as we went along yesterday which was taken out with Trumps first market moving comment when he said there would be 25% tarrifs on Canada and Mexico in February.  The ES lost -50 plus points in seconds lol where I took 40 more profit points.   Since then have been building my short going into the cash open with an average short of 6050. 

 

I don't believe the volatility is over even if we eventually get back near old highs.  I remember the random comments out of Trumps mouth back in his first term and I think we need to be prepared for that after the hurrah is over.  Should be an interesting day in the end either way!!
