ESU13 EMINI S&P SEPTEMBER FUTURES CONTRACT

The ES decreased in price on Tuesday and was able to close the gap that was created by the overnight market on Sunday and then some.  The selling pressure was news driven and due to McCain speaking about Syria and possible invasion.

The ZoneTrader Weekly Profile captured the underlying psychology once again and told us traders that this selling would not sustain itself, the Bulls were in fact in control of the market on the week and the movement was an overreaction to the news.

 The time filter held above the top of the Persistence Zone denoted by the 2 orange lines, which again represents where the fight was the greatest the prior week since we are discussing the weekly profile.

This gives us our control bias and tells who is in control of the market on any of the 5 profiles that we apply it to.  With the time filter holding above the top that told us that the bulls had taken control of the market on the week and to look to buy the first retrace, utilizing the Daily Profile to trigger the buy entry.

 During the sell off on Tuesday the ES came within ticks from touching the bottom of the PZ and then we began to see buying pressure enter the market once again and denoted the fact that the bulls were attempting to maintain control of the market on the week and keep the ES above the bottom of the PZ at 1630.25.

 The following candle closed higher then the prior and above the midpoint of the PZ or in the bullish half of the zone.  This generated the buy signals and told us the bulls had maintained control of the market on the week and to look for a move to the 1651 to 1653 area, which the midpoint between MR1 and MR2 on the weekly fell.

The midpoint is used to determine if the market is making a bullish breakout or not, by analyzing the close of the candle.  If the candle closes above the midpoint then the market is making the bullish breakout and we can buy the first retrace.  This is the current case since today we got that close.

Look to buy retrace movement tomorrow, utilize the Daily Profile and look for a failure to the downside which will generate a buy signal and will be derived from either Rule 8, 10, or 12.  There is key resistance at 1653 to 1656 area but if the ES can break through it prices will then test the 1665.00 area before receiving more key resistance.

Good Luck tomorrow the chart or screenshot of the Zone-Trader Weekly Profile is below.  Once again the Zone-Trader Philosophy kept us traders on the right side of the market and kept us from being caught up by the news driven movement, with the models ability to interpret the underlying psychology of the market in real time on multiple time frames.  Zone-Trader Philosophy the best Intuitive based trading methodology in the world.

ESU13 ZONE-TRADER PHILOSOPHY

The Zone-Trader Quarterly Profile suggested a failed bullish breakout on the Quarter and to expect a reversal or reversion of prices back to the Zone-Trader Pivot also called the point of control on 8/6/13.  At that point we began to hunt for sell signals being triggered on the Monthly and Weekly Profiles, expecting prices to revert to at least 1641.25 the pivot on the Quarterly and possibly lower.  

The blog i sent out a few days back discussed the developing bull trap and the Zone-Trader's ability to identify it prior to occurrence and thus take advantage of the sell off that would derive from tripping the sell stops of the traders that got long.  

In that blog I mentioned our expectation of a decrease in prices to the 1641.25 price level.  The ES came close today and most likely will hit it Sunday night or Monday morning.  Another pinpoint prediction by Zone-Trader Philosophy, keeping us once again on the right side of the market and in a position to take advantage of  the change in the condition.  

Here is a screenshot of the Quarterly Profile below, you can see the Zone-Trader Pivot identified by the white horizontal line at 1641.25.  Once the ESU13 hits this price level the market will become balanced on the Quarter and then will begin to oscillate around the Zone-Trader Pivot in attempt to breakout of the balanced oscillation area in either the bullish or bearish direction and create the ability to then attempt to make a bullish or bearish breakout on the Quarter.  

Keep in mind that as price approaches the Zone-Trader Pivot on the Quarterly Profile and MR2 on the Yearly Profile, which is at 1634.75 (screenshot below) bulls will begin re-entering the market since they are in control of it on the Quarter and they are currently attempting to confirm an uptrend on the Year.  

The bulls will need to keep prices above MR2 on the Yearly Profile for 2 more weeks in order to establish an uptrend on the year.  So expect a major battle to develop near that price level, which again is 1634.75.  Bears have entered heavily prior to and after setting the bull trap and they are currently in control of the market on the week and were also in control on the day, which suggest they are attempting to block the bulls from establishing or confirming the uptrend on the year.  

Expect spike in volatility next week and most likely sideways whipsaw price action.  The impulse wave of the market will decrease and v-patterns will develop with plenty of crazy ivans occurring as well.  Look for alignment on the Daily and Weekly Profiles prior to entry, utilize market orders for entry and set targets instead of trailing stops.  This will help maximize gains since we don't expect major trend moves to occur.  

Use the information being derived by the Zone-Trader Philosophy to adjust your style of trade in order to maintain alignment with the current condition of the market.

If the bulls fail to confirm an uptrend on the year and the bears are able to push prices below MR2.  Then we would expect a continuation in decreasing prices as the ESU13 would then begin reverting back to the Zone-Trader Pivot on the Year at 1497.00. a move of 154 points lower.  

ZONE-TRADER PHILOSOPHY 

             The Most Advanced Intuitive Based Trading Methodology In The World!!!!

Beautiful pictures were painted last night and throughout today's trading day by the Zone-Trader model on both the Weekly and Monthly Profiles, alerting traders and allowing them to identify a bull trap that was set by the price action and the close of Tuesday's trading session on a daily chart.

Zone-Trader Philosophy identified a failed bullish breakout on the Quarterly Profile 6 trading days ago, suggesting a retrace or reversal of the current uptrend was developing and to expect lower prices as the ESU13 was beginning to revert back to the point of control or the Zone-Trader Pivot at 1641.25.

We then begin looking for sell signals to generate on the Monthly and Weekly Profiles, utilizing the lower time frame in attempt to pinpoint our entries on the short side, and to identify profit taking price areas, as well as to identify or acknowledge manipulation based price action in the bullish direction that derive from large speculator volume in order for them to create a better entry for themselves to go short.

The ability to identify this manipulation that the Zone-Trader provides clearly displays and alerts traders to any and all bull or bear traps that are currently developing, depending on the direction of the current trend.  In this case with the ESU13 currently in a strong uptrend and a retrace or reversal of that trend underway, traders acknowledge this manipulation as a bull trap, and easily side step or spring it, which allows them to take advantage of trapped long positions and the decrease in prices that will occur do to their sell stops being triggered and converted to market orders; ultimately pushing prices lower and increasing the velocity of the bearish movement.

The Weekly Profile has told us that the bears are in control of the market on the week, and they will attempt to maintain control, while simultaneously trying to create a bearish breakout and possibly establish a downtrend on the week.  The Zone-Trader Philosophy told us this due to the Persistence Zone which gives us traders our control bias falling above where the market opened on the week.  If the market opens below the Persistence Zone then the bears are in control, because the Persistence Zone is a zone from the profile's that is being analyzed prior plot where the market spent the longest period time.  Wherever the market trades for the longest period of time tells us that there is an even number of buyers and sellers and that this area is where the fight is the greatest between the bulls and the bears.

Today the ESU13 failed to confirm an uptrend generating a sell signal, while simultaneously the bears maintained control of the market as they began selling when prices entered inside the PZ and provided the needed volume to block the bulls from taking control as well as from establishing an uptrend.  The combination of both of these auction market theories occurring simultaneously creates the ability for the market to jump start and sustain bearish price movement.  The PZ is identified by the two orange horizontal price lines.

This picture being painted by the Zone-Trader Philosophy on the Weekly Profile also confirmed that our current assessment on the Quarterly was correct and that we were right to assume that the price action and closing price from Tuesday's session was indeed a bull trap and allowed us to avoid getting caught in this trap and to take advantage traders that did, by pushing prices lower and taking out these trapped traders stops, again creating that domino effect and decreasing prices further.

EMINI S&P 8/9/13

The New Monthly Profile for the month of August on the ESU13 is suggesting for traders to expect a spike in volatility this month.  This is depicted through Zone-Trader Philosophies combinations between the Neutral Zone and the Persistence Zone.

Neutral Zone is MR1 to MS1 and royal blue with the Point of Control or also known as the Zone-Trader Pivot falling in the dead center of the zone and is white in color.

 Persistence Zone is created by 2 orange lines and is a zone from the prior profile, where the market traded for the longest period of time and represents where the fight was the greatest between the bulls and the bears.

Wherever the market trades for the longest period of time or what price area this occurs in, tells us traders that there was an even number of buyers and sellers for the majority of time within this depicted price area.

When combining the 2 zones to create the PZ/NZ combinations there are four possible variables, in this case the monthly profile currently is displaying variable 3, the PZ is engulfing the NZ.

Meaning the top of the PZ orange line at 1712.75 is higher then the top of the Neutral Zone or MR1 at the price of 1705, and the bottom of the PZ orange line at the price of 1667.50 is lower than the bottom of the NZ or MS1 at the price of 1690.50.

Hence the term engulfing the Neutral Zone is completely inside the Persistence Zone.  This PZ/NZ combo again tells us to expect a spike in volatility any time we see it occur on any of the five profiles.

The reason for this is because the Balanced Oscillation Area which is price area from the midpoint between the Zone-Trader Pivot and MR1 down to the midpoint between the the Zone-Trader Pivot and MS1 is residing inside where the fight was the greatest the prior month.

The Balanced Oscillation Area is where the market fluctuates while in a balanced state as it hovers around and or back and forth across the Zone-Trader Pivot or Point of Control, prior to attempting to make a Bullish or Bearish Breakout.

When prices re-enter the or are currently inside the Persistence Zone the fight that took place during the prior profile period resumes, and volatility increases as the Bulls and the Bears begin to battle for control of the market on that specific profile or time frame, in this case the Monthly.

Combining the two, once more tells us traders that whenever the market is in a balanced state on the month it will begin a major battle between the bulls and the bears for control of the future direction of the market.  So the impulse wave of the market decreases, while simultaneously the variance increases.

No statistical indicator is gonna provide traders with this specific information ever, especially the actual prices that the volatility spike will peak at.  Basically providing traders with the specifics of the current market condition on the month in this case and what types of trades work best in this environment, prior to occurrence.

Now us traders can adapt very quickly to changes in the condition of the market cause the current change is identified and explained by the Zone-Trader Philosophy.   Reversion trades tend to work best in this type of environment.  That does not mean the market cannot breakout and establish a trend, but the probabilities of this occurring are low in comparison to the market attempting to breakout or attempting to establish a trend and failing, and ultimately reverting back to the Point of Control or Zone-Trader Pivot.

This specific PZ/NZ combination occurring also tells us that most likely on the Quarterly Profile we may be starting to see the beginning of a reversal in the current trend, or a major retrace in prices.  In this case again this is assessed on the Quarterly Profile because Zone-Trader Philosophy tells us we must look one sequential time frame higher within the profiles.  So combo is occurring on the Monthly Profile, hence the Quarterly is the next time frame higher.

We now know the underlying psychology of the market within 2 specific profiles, and what trading condition to expect and which types of our rules to use that work best, a complete road map to tread the murky waters of the Derivatives or Futures markets.

No statistical based indicators are going to provide the trader with this specific information and or the change that is occurring in the current condition of the market.

Zone-Trader Philosophy the Best Intuitive Based Trading Methodology In The World.  Keep an eye out for our new trading course soon to be released and it will be packaged with the Zone-Trader Indicators for all five profiles.  The crystal ball of technical analysis.

(08:19) Matt Reynolds:THERE WAS NO BUY AT THE OPEN BECAUSE ES NEVER CLOSED ABOVE THE MIDPOINT BETWEEN PIVOT AND MR1
(08:20) Matt Reynolds:HAD TO EXPECT PULLBACK TO PIVOT AND AN ATTEMPT TO BREAKOUT OF THE BALANCED OSCILLATION AREA IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
(08:20) Matt Reynolds:SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SEE WITH THE PZ

(08:21) Matt Reynolds:THEY SHOULD TRY TO TAKE THIS BACK UP TO 94 TO 96 AREA
(08:21) Matt Reynolds:MOST LIKELY
(08:22) Matt Reynolds:THEN SELLERS WILL START TO RE-ENTER
(08:22) Matt Reynolds:KEEP IN MIND
(08:22) Matt Reynolds:BULLS IN CONTROL ON THE WEEKLY PROFILE
(08:22) Matt Reynolds:HOWEVER WEEKLY HAS MADE A BEARISH BREAKOUT

(08:24) Matt Reynolds:WHILE THE BULLS ARE TECHNICALLY IN CONTROL OF THE MARKE T
(08:24) Matt Reynolds:THAT WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE AN INCREASE IN VOLATILITY
(08:25) Matt Reynolds:EVERY TIME YOU SEE IT

(07:51) Matt Reynolds:AND THE ES BEGAN MAKING A BEARISH BREAKOUT
(07:53) Matt Reynolds:I POSTED LAST NIGHT TO LOOK FOR THE ES TO TEST 1690 AREA

(07:53) Matt Reynolds:AS ES APPROACHES THE TOP OF THE PZ ON THE WEEKLY
(07:53) Matt Reynolds:BUYERS WILL START TO ENTER THE MARKET

(07:54) Matt Reynolds:WEEKLY DID NOT GET A CLOSE ABOVE THE MIDPOINT BETWEEN PIVOT AND MR1
(07:54) Matt Reynolds:SO THAT TELLS US TO EXPECT IT TO REVERSE TO THE PIVOT AND POSSIBLY ATTEMPT TO THE DOWNSIDE

(08:12) Matt Reynolds:THIS WOULD BE A MAJOR CHANGE
(08:12) Matt Reynolds:IF THIS NEGATIVE CORRELATION HOLDS
(08:12) Matt Reynolds:THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN
(08:13) Matt Reynolds:IF THE EURO IS MORE VALUEABLE AND INCREASING IN VALUE AGAINST THE US DOLLAR

ESH13 3-4-13

The ESH13 failed to make a bearish breakout simultaneously on both the Weekly Profile and the Daily Profile.  No candle body close below the midpoint between MS1 and MS2 which generates a buy signal as the Zone-Trader applies Rule 8 and expects the market to revert back to the Zone-Trader Pivot the Weekly ZT Pivot was at 1517.25, and the Daily ZT Pivot was at 1513.25.  The buy signal was generated at 1512.75.  Also the market opened inside the PZ on both the Weekly Profile and the Daily Profile so the bulls and the bears were fighting for control of the future direction of the market.  On the Weekly Profile the market was trading above the midpoint of the Persistence Zone in the bullish half of the defined area giving upside strength or bias.  On the Daily Profile the market was oscillating around the midpoint of the PZ then made a move to the bottom of the PZ but the bears failed to take control of the market the time filter did not hold below the bottom and this occurred simultaneous to the failed bearish breakout, providing the Zone-Trader with alignment between the Directional and Control Bias's.  The market reversed as was expected and then proceeded to trade back to and break above the top of the PZ and held the time filter telling us the bulls had taken control of the market on the day.  The market also broke above the top of the PZ on the Weekly Profile and the bulls are currently still attempting to take control of the market on the week.

ESH13 3-1-13

The Zone-Trader Philosophy intuitive based trading methodology setup 2 text book trades that created the swing from the short yesterday being signaled on the Weekly Profile to the Buy Reversal today which was setup on the Monthly Profile.

The Monthly Profile had made a bullish breakout yesterday got the candle body close above the midpoint between MR1 and MR2, which tells us to buy the first retrace Rule 1.  Once the Bullish Breakout is established it is like a footprint in the market.  The footprint being stamped creates the ability for the market to retrace since the breakout has already been established and the market will take one more leg up on the Monthly Profile.

The Weekly Profile was generating Rule 2 a failed Bullish Breakout no candle body close above the midpoint between MR1 and MR2 and the Bears are in control of the market on the week since it opened below the PZ depicted by the 2 orange lines.  The bears looked to be maintaining control of the market and with the Rule 2 trigger the alignment between the Control Bias and the Directional Bias was established which increases the probability of winning.  This suggested that the Monthly will most likely go into a retrace phase after making the Bullish Breakout.  So we sell and take the entry provided by Rule 2 and expect the ESH13 to revert to the Zone-Trader Pivot in White at 1503.  We then expect support to start kicking in between that price level and the Zone-Trader Pivot on the Monthly at 1500.50.

So we put a reversal buy limit at 1503.50 to take profits on our shorts and get us long to catch the second wave on the Monthly Profile which is the Bullish Trend Confirmation Wave.  Also bulls are in control of the market on the month so we again have alignment between the Directional and Control Bias.  We are currently still long and holding with stop at 1513.75.

EMINI S&P MARCH CONTRACT

The Monthly Profile provided us with a beautiful textbook Zone-Trader Philosophy setup, which developed over the course of yesterday and today's trading hours.  The Bears Failed to make a bearish breakout on the monthly profile, no candle body close below the midpoint between MS1 and MS2, which generates a buy signal from Rule 8 as we expect the market to revert back to the Zone-Trader Pivot or POC and to possibly attempt to make a bullish breakout.  The bulls were in control of the market on the month and they were able to maintain control as they blocked the bears from making the breakout.  The fact that the bulls maintained control of the market tells us to look for a move back towards the top of the PZ which is in Orange and the price is 1506.75 and possibly higher.  The ESH13 did exactly as was expected or being predicted by the Monthly Profile and the market traded back above the top of the PZ and is currently attempting to make a bullish breakout.  This move was 34 pts depending on where one was to get filled on the Rule 8 buy signal.

ESH13 2/21/13

The Emini S&P continued the selling that began yesterday after the failed bullish breakout on the Weekly Profile, in the opening and early morning of the session.  Then around 11:25 am pst the ESH13 found support at the 1495 price area which was MS3 to the tick on the Daily Profile.  The ES at that time failed to extend the bearish downtrend on the Daily Profile, which suggest to look for buys and to expect the market to revert back to the Zone-Trader Pivot.  The ES did revert right back to the POC or ZT Pivot at 1503.50 just like clockwork and the became balance on the day.  Once the market becomes balanced on any of the 5 profiles it must then attempt to make another breakout.  On the Daily Profile the ESH13 made one more attempt at a bearish breakout and failed, as it did not close below the midpoint between MS1 and MS2 suggesting to continue to buy and this market was going higher.  This signal on the Daily Profile confirmed the Monthly Analysis and set us up for a nice long trade which can be held overnight depending on the trader.

The Monthly Profile was making the first retrace after a Bullish Breakout and we expect to see support around the Zone-Trader Pivot at 1500.50 as well as the midpoint of the Persistence Zone at 1498.75 and one more support at the midpoint between the ZT Pivot and MS1 which is 1495.50 and the bottom of the balanced oscillation area.  With 3 strong support in one price area and the Daily Profile failing to continue to the downside and signaling buys and a revert to the ZT Pivot we expected this to be the beginning of the 2nd Wave on the Monthly Profile which is the Bullish Confirmation Wave.    Text book signals on both the Monthly and the Daily Profile, especially since the Bulls are in control of the market on the month there is very high percentage that the midpoint of the PZ will hold initial support.    Picture of the Monthly Profile is below.  Please keep in mind the Zone-Trader Philosophy is an intuitive based trading methodology that captures the underlying psychology of the market on 5 different time frames.  The method utilizes rule based entries that are derived by combining price action with the specific rule within is specific zone.  The Zone-Trader is faster and more frugal then any statistical based system in existence a leading indicator that capture the turns with pinpoint accuracy.

EMINI S&P 2/20/13

The ESM13 contract failed to make a bullish breakout today on the weekly profile, which generated the sell signal at 1527.00.  The ESM13 then proceeded to sell off and is currently trading at 1506.25 area a nice 20 point move.  The market presented a breakaway gap on Friday and buyers came in driving price heavily to the upside.  Most traders were still looking to get long or buy the retrace move.  The signal to sell which generated on the weekly profile after the ESM13 failed to make a bullish breakout, kept traders from falling into this bull trap.  Expect some support in this area down to the 1497.00 price level, then look for a swing move to occur between there and 1518 area most likely.  We will only take trades that are generated by the Zone-Trader Rules but if the rules generate an order in those price areas we will look to get in there. Keep eye out for next signal.   Chart of Weekly Profile is below.

EMINI SP 500 FUTURES

The ESH13 provided us with another classic textbook Zone-Trader Philosophy trade today, which is currently positive 5 points and holding.  The trade setup on the Weekly Profile which utilizes a 144 minute candle to assess price action within the Zone-Trader Philosophy pricing map.  The ESH13 was already above the top of the Persistence Zone which fell at 1508.50 telling us that the bulls were in control of the market on the week.  Then this market made a Bullish Breakout yesterday with a candle body close above the midpoint between MR1 and MR2 telling us to buy the 1st retrace.  This signal created alignment between our control bias as derived from the Zone-Trader Rules, and our Control Bias which is derived from the Persistence Zone.  The alignment of the 2 increases the probability of winning dramatically.  The first retrace pushed lower to the 1510.00 price area and approached MS1 on the Weekly Profile which provided support and created the reversal back to the upside.  With the close of the Green colored candle above the Zone-Trader Pivot the buy was generated at market, since this info told us that the bears failed to make a bearish breakout and by closing above the ZT Pivot the bulls would now take their shot or attempt at making a bullish breakout.  The market order 1514.25 and then the ESH13 proceeded to trade higher in price as was expected and predicted by Zone-Trader Philosophy and its ability to capture the underlying psychology of the market.  Currently the ESH13 is trading at 1519.50 and about an hour ago the time filter held above the top of the PZ on the daily profile so the bulls have taken control of the market on the day as well now.

 

ES provided easy daytrade again today right out of the gate.  The neutral zone was higher then the persistence zone on the daily profile, which tells us that the balanced state of the market is occurring above where the fight was the greatest the prior trading day.  This increases the probability for the bulls to be able to generate enough volume to attempt and most likely establish a bullish breakout.  The ES attempts at the bullish breakout and simultaneously breaks above the top of the pz in orange and holds the time filter for 7 consecutive minutes, telling us that the bulls have taken control of the market and to buy the first retrace.  The buy entry setup off the zone-trader pivot in white at 1513.50.  The trade was good for 5 points and then call it a day.  The chart shows more description as well.  This was a text book Zone-Trader Philosophy trade or setup and another simple trading day.

June Gold has shown increased volatility over the past 4 to 5 weeks, and has
a been trading sideways a bit in a range from 1700.00 to 1631.30.  This market tested the bottom of the new persistence zone for this year 4 weeks ago and was not able to trade below it in price telling us that the bears were failing to take control of the market.  The price of this years persistence zone for June Gold are: top pz = 1806.00 bottom pz = 1628.10, which are MS1 and MR1 from last years profile also known as the Neutral Zone.  June Gold failed to make a bearish breakout with the close higher then the high of the prior candle 2 weeks ago, after the market had already attempted to make the bearish breakout and found support at the MS1 / bottom of this years pz area.  This suggest to us traders that this market will revert back to the Zone-Trader Pivot at 1717, which is also the midpoint of this years persistence zone.  Past experience with the Zone-Trader model tells us that if a market attempt to breakout of the persistence zone either the top or the bottom and fails then that market should begin making an attempt at reaching the opposite sides price level and then make an attempt at breaking out on that side.  Since the Bears failed to take control this means we would expect prices to head towards the top of the persistence zone at 1806.00  Continue to look to buy the pullbacks in this market and expect prices to head towards 1717 initially and then if breaks above that the next 2 targets will be 1761.50 and then 1806.00

LNO is announcing the availability of 5.60 GHz performance inside a 1U form factor.

 

http://www.liquidnitrogenoverclocking.com/news_19.shtml

 

It is now possible to cool overclocked CPUs without needing an extravagant cooling system,

thanks to a breakthrough in constrained-space heat removal pioneered by a research team

at Villanova University.

 

There is no liquid used in this new technology, which is referred to as a  Microchannel Heat Pipe.

 

An inert gas comes into contact with a metallic wafer, with nooks carved down to an almost cellular scale.

The process is naturally endothermic due to a gas vapor phase change that occurs on contact with this metallic block.

Coupled with the "near infinite surface area" resembling a Menger Sponge (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger_sponge)

within the honeycomb, the evaporation contact area is maximized while the 3D volume is minimized.

As this is connected to the CPU block, the heat is removed in such a way that the condensing "self pressurizes" the micro-vapor droplets,

and upon exiting the wafer, circulation resumes without the need of an external pump.

 

This allows us to overclock an Ivy Bridge processor to 5.25 GHz, making it as fast as a 5.60 GHz Sandy Bridge-E system (such as the i7-3970X)

which in turn equates to over 6.0 GHz of performance from the familiar Westmere server chips.

 

And, everything fits within 1U of server rack height, a mere 1.75 inches.

COTTON AND NATTY GAS

Back on the 25th of January the post below on Cotton and Natty Gas went out recommending to enter buy signals and to expect higher prices in both markets.  Following both markets retraced in price one last time to the downside creating an excellent buying opportunity for new entries as well as for those looking to add to their current positions.  The Zone-Trader told us clearly that these markets were going higher based upon the Control and Directional Bias on the long-term time Profiles.  Do to the Zone-Trader's ability to capture the underlying psychology of the market and who has control of it, we were not fooled by the quick push down on the retrace and clearly understood that the smart money was trying to create a buy entry point for themselves to go long.  Falling right in line with what we expected.  Both Natty Gas and Cotton have proceeded to increase in price over the last 13 to 28 days pushing the price on NG to 3.887 from 3.164 and on CT to 91.50 from 81.39.

March Cotton CTH13 is currently attempting to break above the top of the persistence zone on the Yearly Profile, telling us that the bulls are attempting to take control of the market on the year.  CTH13 will need to stay above the top of the PZ defined by 2 orange lines for 4 consecutive weeks in order for the bulls accomplish this control attempt.  This market is also attempting to revert back to the Zone-Trader Pivot or the POC at 94.24 depicted by the White line.  Look for buys signals in this market.

March Natty Gas has failed to make a bearish breakout on the yearly profile and reversed back to the Zone-Trader Pivot or POC as was expected.  Also the bears failed to take control of the market on the Year since they were not able to hold the time filter of 4 weeks below the bottom of the PZ depicted by 2 orange lines.  Normal market movement within the Zone-Trader Model tells us that if the a failure occurs on one side of the pz in this case the bottom and the bears failing to take control then to look for the market to trade to the opposite side in this case the top of the pz which the price is 3.855 and for the bulls to attempt to take control of the market.  Look for buys on this market keep close eye on the midpiont between the Zone-Trader Pivot white line and MS1 royal blue, the price of which is 3.434 this is the bottom of the balanced oscillation area and the market will need to stay above this price level to make the bullish move we are looking for.  Recommend buying limit off that midpoint or close to it if possible.
