SYS Daily Report
Welcome to the inaugural edition of the SYS Research Daily Report. Firstly, I regret to inform you that, at this juncture, the SSI indicators developed by Greg will not be incorporated into SetYourStop. Greg employs a proprietary calculation for deriving these indicators. However, please rest assured that I will introduce my trend-following technique to identify index momentum. This technique bears a semblance to the SSI, involving moving averages alongside overbought and oversold indicators. These tools have significantly contributed to my success.
By adopting this approach, I streamline the process into a binary outcome, aiding me in sidestepping biases stemming from personal thoughts and emotions. This method has enabled me to capitalize on setups that heralded upward trends, even as the market remained flat leading up to its ascent earlier this year. I’ve outperformed by identifying stocks that exhibited technical signals and broke out to higher levels, while many professionals failed to outperform a passive index fund as they were preoccupied with breadth indicators. Furthermore, it sustained my engagement while breadth indicators remained stagnant or declined, in contrast to the ongoing rise of the indexes during an extended period earlier this year.
My philosophy revolves around spotting stocks that are showing signs of momentum or are on an upward trajectory, as opposed to merely delineating what’s amiss. The ultimate goal, as a professional, remains the outperformance of the benchmark, regardless of the quantity of active stocks. Below is a chart of the NASDAQ ETF illustrating the initial signal upon the cross and the market’s overbought indications, each time intimating a potential retreat to the moving average. The chart further illustrates that the moving average and trend endure until they cease, forming a red-light-green-light system. A green light is when the price is above the moving averages, while below signifies a red light. I’ve also highlighted the RSI configuration, advising caution upon reaching a certain level, as it implies a propensity for a retreat to the primary moving average.
I aim to abstain from forming opinions, instead concentrating on upholding a systematic approach. I react to technical signals and utilize moving averages as trailing stops to monitor momentum. This approach simplifies the process into a binary outcome. The price either breaches and trends above the moving averages, or it doesn’t. This assists me in evading biases forged from personal thoughts and emotions. While pundits debate in the media based on their thoughts and feelings, we can anchor ourselves in actual events.
Please take into account that this is purely for demonstration purposes. In the upcoming instances, the chart will be magnified and significantly neater. My intention here is to ensure everyone is aligned with the same understanding. Comparable to the SSI, when we’re in a green light phase, the most favorable setups often outperform.
QQQ – Invesco QQQ Trust
SPY – SPDR S&P 500 ETF
The S&P 500 is presently trading into a resistance zone, a pattern reminiscent of several setups following Tuesday’s robust performance. The August payroll data indicated a slowdown in the job market, a development that alleviated investor concerns. At present, all attention is riveted on the upcoming release of consumer economic data scheduled for Thursday, in addition to the anticipated job figures set to be unveiled on Friday.
It is noteworthy that trading volume experienced a decrease on both the NYSE and Nasdaq compared to the same timeframe on Tuesday. The robust market breadth witnessed on Tuesday marked a favorable advancement for the overall market. However, the current focus is on the aspiration for the price of the S&P 500 to surge above the horizontal resistance line without encountering a setback.
The moving averages seem to be aligning for a bullish cross signal, although it’s possible that the price might require some time to digest the recent upward movement. One could anticipate a potential pullback to the moving averages or the price consolidating just below the resistance line until the moving averages catch up. This strategic approach would allow it to accumulate enough power to build momentum before its next move. It is imperative to avoid any scenario where the price regresses below the moving averages.
The objective is to identify optimal setups that can guide market entry, coupled with the safeguard of a stop-loss mechanism for exit. When the system flashes a green light on the indexes, the most robust stocks will set up ahead of the broader market and experience significant surges when the market moves. Failing to adhere to these rules will consistently lead to a situation where one is chasing gaps, getting whipsawed, and missing out on prime entries.
