THE MARKET MECHANIC BROUGHT TO YOU BY ODYSSEY TRADING GROUP FOR 07/06/ 2012

Welcome to the Market Mechanic daily blog

TODAYS ACTION; Once again it all comes down to the unemployment number and it was not good. Proof that the professional political class is clueless, about the economy for one and so much more. We gap open lower and the market with great momentum trades lower. The software and system generates 6 profitable sell signals. At 2:00 PM the 10 minute DTI turns positive, setting the stage for a rally. The market did rally, for some reason, probably some short covering and our software and system did generate a profitable buy signal.

AFTER THE CLOSE: Yesterday we said it looked like the market was forming a good base on which to start a rally. Well, we are going to have to put that view point on hold  at least for a while. The proprietary indicator the TINDEXES on the 5 minute through the 45 minute finished negative, the 60 minute remained positive. The 60 minute reading could offer a ray of hope. The proprietary oscillators the DTI's the 5 minute through the 30 minute turned positive, again a positive sign. Going forward, after the sell off , the afternoon rally could signal better things ahead. Next week starts earnings season, so we will just sit tight, wait for our set ups and take it from there.
Have a good weekend.

TODAYS CHART:

ABOUT THE MARKET MECHANIC:
The Market Mechanic has developed 3 proprietary indexes and oscillators: the Trend Index Aggressive (TI agg), the Delta Trend Index (DTI) and the Trend Index (TIndex).  These 3 proprietary indicators combined with the Directional Movement Index (DMI), the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) give us several distinct, high probability set ups that are used to day trade the emini S&P market. These indexes and oscillators are applied on time frames from 5 minutes to 60 minutes (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60) and these set ups are traded on all time frames. The final product of the combination of these proprietary and non proprietary oscillators and indexes is a mechanical system and methodology for identifying entry points into the market that completely sidelines emotion and allows its user to concentrate on the money management part of the trading equation.
The philosophy of the Market Mechanic is not to predict the market but to anticipate likely market scenarios that the market will produce on a daily basis and the best way to exploit these opportunities. These set ups are designed to profitably and consistently exploit these market scenarios.
Markets are opportunity generating machines; our software and methodology strive to take advantage of these opportunities as they arise and provide its users a consistent and reliable profit making trading set ups.
