Position Summary/Market Commentary 09/23/2026 One of the most selective rallies going on in the history of the stock market. I expect the BIG MONEY is looking for a shake out here before buying. Seasonality remains positive, but the average stock is not showing anything at the moment. Good time to be an observer and avoid FOMO. Patience is needed to pick your spot. #COPPER and #GOLD have bullish BLAST OFF readings. Need a TMA entry point for both metals. It has more than a little bit crazy trying to figure out this huge divergence between tech and the rest of market. When in doubt, I fall back and tell myself to only take TMA trades in the direction to the All Market Index. That direction remains on a sell signal. Current Positions: #Soybeans November 2026 - Buy Signal from 08/27/26 triggered. Can be long. Raise stop to breakeven. Exited 1/3rd position after dropping below the aggressive trailing stop. Exited 1/3rd position on Monday morning on a Time Stop since it failed to meet its objective. Will now hold 1/3rd position after closing 1/3rd position on Monday morning open. #Heating #Oil November 2026 Futures - Can be long exited 1/3rd using an aggressive short term stop on the open on Buy Signal from 09/02/26 reducing size of position to 2/3rds and from Long from 08/28/26 buy signal exiting 1/3rd and still holding 1/3rd. Stops on both trades are at breakeven on remaining positions in both buy alerts. #Crude #Oil E-Mini October 2026 - Can be long from 08/31/26 buy signal and can be long from 09/03/26. Now holding 1/3rd position in each buy signal. #E-Mini Russell 2000 December. Exited on the open for the 09/26/26 sell signal for a Can be short. Can lower stop on 09/10/26 sell signal to 2934.70 intraday. Still holding full position. 10 Year #Treasury #Note October futures Can be short from 09/09/26 Sell Alert. Will move protective stop to breakeven. Huge down day today as interest rates accelerate higher and bonds go lower.

Position Summary/Market Commentary 09/22/2026 Stock market continues to generate weak signals outside of tech and even some of those are seemingly dead. I expect the BIG MONEY is looking for a shake out here before buying. Seasonality remains positive, but the average stock is not showing anything at the moment.

Today’s most impressive action came from $MAGS. These Magnificent 7 had a powerhouse bullish profile today. What is being seen today may be a blow off run in a select few stocks heavily weighted in the indexes. Worth noting the $DJIA AND the Russell 2000 barely budged. I am not overly surprised that the seasonal pattern did not play out to early October. There was too much bearishness and too much money wanting to buy even if it was picked over merchandise. I will check the reading from my All Market Index in the morning, but I expect this move today was too narrowly focused to generate a buy signal at this time.
We've never in almost 100 years seen breadth this bad. The S&P $SPY is knocking on new highs but there are (many) more stocks at lows than highs. The percentage of stocks in long-term uptrends is plunging. The only remotely similar setups were January 1973 and November 1999.

Position Summary/Market Commentary 09/21/2026 Strong upside action generated Momentum Timing Buy signals in both the $SPX and the $Nasdaq 100 e-mini. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 and the $Dow mini stayed well contained below their 50 day moving averages both on a minor up day. I believe all most all of the upside action was generated by the $MAG 7. A few high tech stocks in my Hot 100 Chartbook generated impressive buy signals as well. Non. High tech names showed zero strength. I am monitoring BIG MONEY to see if it steps in and buys. Will check today’s numbers and report in the morning if the All Market Index generated a buy signal. Current Positions: #CC Cocoa December Futures.. Exited final 1/3rd position on the open. Exited with profit on short term stop, long term stop and profit objective from the 06/22/26 buy signal. #Soybeans November 2026 - Buy Signal from 08/27/26 triggered. Can be long.

Fed follows interest rates set by the market. The Fed does not lead. Traders focus so much wasted energy on following Fed moves. It is nothing more than noise. The Fed has been rendered irrelevant. Federal Deficits on the order of $2 Trillion per year makes the Fed unable to control interest rate or even get close to its beloved (and irrational) 2% inflation rate. So here is the bottom line: Trade stocks/ Trade Commodities!. Forget the Fed. I use TMA. PERIOD. No Fed nonsense. If there is anything coming from the Fed useful to monitor is liquidity it creates available to buy stocks. M2 money supply has been the market’s golden goose creating all the liquidity. If the fed does not really move the market, then all I really need to know is in the behavior of individual stocks and commodities that may or may not reflect what the Fed is doing. Know your buy rules, know your sell rules, know your position sizing. Follow your rules. Currently all of my open trades are profitable. Does that mean I haven’t had losses. Oh yes I have. I take my losses quickly before being able to do damage to my account. I report every trade here. The real market wizardry found here is in cutting losses. And unfortunately I have not found a money machine that is a 100% winner. So the adages Gunner Senior learned 60 years ago apply just as equally today as they did then. “Let your profits run and cut your losses short” Sterling advice. Often quoted, rarely followed. The Market Wizard books reveal the real secret of wizardly. I will repeat what that magic elixir is “Let your profits run and cut your losses short. And cut those losses means cutting losses 100% of the time with no ifs, ands, or buts. Can I say it any more strongly? Ignore the Fed and trade the markets using sterling trading tactics.

Here is a chart that Terry published and doubled his subscribers and had 144k views. This incredible number of views tells me people are very much interested in getting their bearish opinion confirmed by bearish signals. I am still on a SELL SIGNAL. However the incredible response to this post tells me to be on guard for a major stock market reversal to the upside. Remember in the twilight zone of the stock market, up is down and down is up. Sentiment is down, market is likely to double cross very soon to the upside. My All Market Index will be the confirmation. Stay Tuned!
I publish a Risk On/Risk Off indicator for my subscribers. It's based on an oscillator using NYSE Advance/Decline issues. Yesterday it flipped to Risk Off. Here are the triggers for the last 13 years. It was Risk Off about 25% of the time. Just one more check-mark on the scoreboard.

Position Summary/Market Commentary 09/18/2026 The All Market Accumulation Distribution Index generated its latest sell signals on 09/09/26 and 09/10/26. I am monitoring BIG MONEY to see if it steps in and buys. Not so far. Selling is still outpacing buying.

I still expect the midterm election seasonal cycle still to play out with a low in early October. Right now my All Market Index says the big money has not stepped in to buy. It is hard to conceive of a huge down draft here, but stocks will remain under pressure until we see a BIG MONEY buy signal from the All Market Index
Individual investors: Fewest bulls in over a year. Most bears in over a year. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is less than 1.5% from a new all-time high.

Some solid assumptions. I particularly like the idea that uncertainty is usually resolved in the direction of the time frame one is looking at by the next higher time frame. My Blast Off Indicator is based, in part, upon this idea. It looks at the momentum of weekly and monthly momentum action to see if a signal on the daily level is likely to succeed. In other words, do the weekly and monthly charts support a TMA signal to either go short or go long. A TMA trade on the daily bar gains more credibility when Blast Off is bullish.
Several default assumptions I make in trading The next trade will be a loser Uncertainty in a daily trend usually is resolved in the direction of the weekly trend Uncertainty in a weekly trend is usually resolved in the direction of the monthly trend That I have absolutely no idea where any given market is going

Do you think traders were bullish at those buy signals and took advantage of what was in front of them? I am reminded of @WalterDeemer who famously said “When the time comes to buy, you won’t want to”. I can guarantee you 95% of traders would hesitate to buy those signals. Why? Here is what I have heard at such moments: “The market is too volatile” “I think it is a fake rally” “It is just too scary to buy” FYI - These are not made up signals, these are real and I saw each and every one of them unfold in real time.
