Exactly one year ago yesterday Volar posted a his presidential election chart. Although he’s been sorely absent in recent months his chart (among other things) has served us very well:
I have asked him for an updated version and he graciously donated the whole McCoy:
In the past year this chart continued to be eerily accurate – including the correction between April through June I may add – albeit a little delayed. Here’s Volar’s comment:
It still appears to be working and (1) looks like we will enter the next cycle with (A) obama/look at intrade and (B) with a bull momo cycle. I believe that is not very bullish for [...]
It’s the final session of the month and instead of preparing for October I have been busy putting out technical fires all over the place today. My apologies but as the old saying goes – when it rains it pours. Nevertheless the show must go on and I managed to collect quite a few charts. But first some house cleaning chores:
Corn – touched support this morning and gave us a picture perfect entry. Although we still have a few handles to go until our first target I strongly recommend you guys take profits. Don’t you wish it was always this easy?

But frankly that is thwarted by the sheer flood of excellent setups I see in the works right now. Yes, some of our recent trades – e.g. crude – got taken to the cleaners.

Thus far a rather productive day – here’s what happened since I posted a few day trade setups this morning:
Gold – great entry at the Maginot Line this morning and we are at target. I am scaling out there as we are touching ST resistance.
Crude – well, it stopped me out of my existing short once it breached that 100-hour SMA. Long now with a stop below.
AUD/USD – nice entry there and it’s on its way. Target near 1.047.
Dollar – this one swung both ways. I only grabbed the upside but I’m showing that trading the resulting drop would have worked as well. Admittedly a difficult [...]
