Weekly Calls, Nov. 13-17, 2006

On last week's trading calls and executions:

The W/L ratio of last week's weekly calls is the second worst (1:2) in since the beginning of Sept., which reflects the fact that I seriously under estimated the bullishness of the market for the past week. The W/L ratio of last week's daily calls, however, fared much better (3:1). There were very few A calls.

My executions were quite good considering the subpar trading calls, I was able to realize my possible flawed bearing bias and followed the technicals only when opening any positions.

On the market:

All major indices registered a solid winning week, with NASDAQ leading with an impressive weekly gain of over 2.5%. On the weekly charts, all major indices closed at new closing high, and except SP500, all made new intra-day high. The weekly candles are also bullish. On the other hand, Stochastic and MACD histogram continue to exhibit clear bearish divergence. The similar technicals are also seen on the daily charts.

On next week:

The charts indicate two simple facts: (1) the major indices are yet to reach the top; (2). the bullish momentum is decelerating. Considering such facts, the overall guidelines for next week's trading are: (1). avoid SW shorts or longs, (2). avoid chasing break-downs or break-outs, (3). open positions close the major S/R with tight stops.
