Dollar struggles, but support is near. ($usd)

May-June Rotations: Core Mkt = Wheat, Featured Mkt = US Dollar

Signals: Wheat= Short 6/14 (TSP 478.25), USD= Long 5/11 (TSP 94.13)

 

Model notes: The latter half of June has been rough on the models. Wheat is (so far) 3 for 3 but I lost a fair amount of ground in the recent selloff. But the models do seem in sync. The dollar model signals have suffered more as we only have one trade, most of the time has been spent in the money but we are now dipping our toe in the red ink of loss-land. But we could have a bounce. Is the greenback model in sync? This one may go down to the line (June 30).

Note: The TSP (theoretical Signal Price) metric is calculated by using the ‘close’ price of the trading day FOLLOWING the signal day.

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • CTM160620wWheat Trading Signals (Core). Wheat has moved dropped, real support is near the 455 level. The brief pop on June 17 did not get any follow-through. Wheat model is negative and the bears seem to have the edge.
  • CTM160620uUS Dollar Signals (Featured). The greenback is struggling. Each day seems to push it a little lower (we recently anyway) but the models are positive and we have real trading support at the 93.50 level. So the bet is bullish. The model dollar portfolio is positive.

 

Premium Research notes:

We are now offering asset class ranking (or alternatively sector ranking), using our trading signal technology on a longer timeframe. This is an exciting new product as portfolio construction has one glaring missing puzzle piece: what asset classes will continue to advance for next month? We can help with that. Get your independent research here! By the way, in 2016, I am only going to take on 6 clients. Contact me for more info. Click the ‘Ranking’ tab to find out more.

Take a minute to peruse the US Equities tab. I posted the S&P 500 trading signals postmortem for the recent March-April time period (approx. as it took about a week to generate a signal at the beginning). Plus 134 Points. Great stuff!
