A change: I had, rather arbitrarily, been setting the initial stop 5¢ below (bull) or above (bear) the breakthough bar low (bull) or high (bear).

Beginning with this posting I'll set the stop as one average true range unit from the extreme, or 3% from the breakthrough level, whichever is closest to the breakthrough level. This will mean fewer stops, but larger losses in the event of a stop, with 3% as the theoretical maximum loss.

  • VIX to bear phase.

2/4 Almanac

On Friday, Feb. 4: Unemployment.

There are 15 days before the February options expire, 43 the March and 71 the April.

On the jump, market stats, econ reports, and the trading calendar . . .

Posting Schedule

I shall be travelling in Japan for two weeks beginning on Sunday. This means my posting schedule will be changed during that period to account for the ungodly U.S. market hours when seen from East Asia. (New York opens at 11:30 p.m. and closes at 6 a.m., Japan time.)

I'll file the Almanac after the market close at 4 p.m. Eastern U.S. time, and follow that will the Morningline, Forex, Watchlist and Channels analysis for the following day based on the close.

Monday, Feb. 7, is a travel day and I shall not file at all.

This differs from my normal practice of filing the analytical pieces beginning about 15 minutes after the open. It will be interesting to see whether that makes a significant difference. My best guess: Probably not much.

Things will be back to normal on Feb. 22.

2/3 Channels

  • TGT, TLT to bull phase (TLT is a very weak breakout).
  • One bull stop, two bear stops, and bear play MNKD sees an adx decline while above 40, an exit sign.
