02/08/2012 Intraday Watering

[TraderGirl]

This week we may get a dose of reality. Saturn, the planet of hard realities, turns retrograde at 29° Libra on Tuesday, February 7. This cosmic event has coincided with important crests in stock prices several times in the past decade, and it is poised to do the same this time too. Its orb of influence is historically up to 11 days, but in most cases, if a reversal occurs, it is within only 4 trading days (see Volume 3 of the Stock Market Timing series).

Another change in investor psychology is likely around Wednesday, February 9, when Venus leaves the blissful domain of Pisces and enters Aries, the sign where it tends to have psychological issues. That’s a weakness, especially as it joins up with ruthless Uranus in Aries the next day.

And speaking of Venus, we note that it will begin a hard aspect translation this week to the forthcoming Uranus-Pluto square. On February 8, Venus conjuncts Uranus, followed by its square to Pluto on February 15.

This is from Merriman. Sentiment could be negative tomorrow as well....

HFT and Algo information

A few people asked about the terminology used when speaking of these High Frequency Trading machines and Algos yesterday. This is a link to NANEX, which was the first to use high speed camera and reveal to everyone just how many quotes were being stuffed into the market and why. There are numerous interviews and articles on this sit to have a good explanation of what they do and the havoc they engage in routinely:

http://www.nanex.net/FlashCrash/OngoingResearch.html

This one on "HFT is killing the eMini" as to the number of quotes should wet your appetite:

http://www.nanex.net/Research/EMini2/EMini2.html

The system has been expanded, due to the ability of these machines, to accept ONE MILLION quotes per second!

Please click this link below and read the notice of pending legislation submitted by the New York Stock Exchange to put at least a requirement in for a bid/offer to remain in the market. This will help prevent quote stuffing, which gives the HFTs greater time to pick your pockets as well as the slower Algo machines who are not directly connected to the servers in NJ:

http://www.nanex.net/Research/QuoteStuf ... anned.html

There is a link for an online form. Please click the links on this page after reading the issue at hand and tell the SEC you do not wish to see another Flash Crash by machines and that you wish their unfair advantage removed!

And this link is a short video showing you "RISE OF THE HFT MACHINES". This is stunning to see just how they have driven speculators out by doing as the court case against the guy who stole code form Goldman Sachs stated, "Could be used to manipulate the market in the wrong hands":

The blue lines on the top chart show the reduction in the ability to stuff quotes into the servers if only a 50 ms rule were imposed during the May 6th, 2010 "Flash Crash".

I think he got his dates mixed up, Venus conjuncts Uranus Thursday (evening) which may cause some trend change on Friday....

134 here we come! well, 200ma first ha?

[ClarkW]

Some mixed signals today

Positives: $BKX, EEM, JJC (Copper), FCX, $SOX, AAPL all up
Negatives: VIX up, GLD & SLV down, $RUT underperforming $SPX

SOX is strong but if you look intraday level of INTC or MU and the like, I would say toppy per my indicators. but SPX is not bearish intraday. SPY <134.53 will get me to sell again.

Thanks BullBear!
