Commentary<\/strong>
\nLooks like Friday’s prediction for today’s trading action<\/a> may have been worth something after all. The T2108 Trading Model (TTM) predicted a 46% chance of a down day and a 54% chance of an up day. Given the high error rate, this prediction was not worth trading. The S&P 500 seemed to agree with the stalemate by closing exactly flat on the day. T2108 declined again today (and has almost fallen from overbought territory), producing a new 2-day decline for creating a new prediction. However, the parameters are little changed from Friday, and the TTM produces the exact same prediction for Tuesday as it did for Monday. This lackluster prediction seems to defy my typical (anecdotal!) expectation from such bearish divergence between T2108 and the S&P 500.<\/p>\n

If the S&P 500 (SPY) has another lackluster close, suddenly I get much more interested in “stalemate” predictions. Like the fortuitous find of quasi-oversold conditions, finding a reliable prediction of a do-nothing day could form the basis for a fade trade that assumes the day will close opposite to a large open.<\/p>\n

My assumption going into this week was that stocks would finally inherit the volatility exhibited by currency markets last week. Instead, the currency market has smoothed out a bit. There was little to no follow-through in Japanese yen or Australian dollar weakness. So now it seems the odds of a lackluster Tuesday have increased. Such a day will also force me to significantly ramp down my expectations for a volatile week.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
