Fooled By Randomness

It is Mario Draghi’s turn to torment market participants this morning, which means a market overview will have to wait until the wave of volatility has washed over us and hopefully left some of our open campaigns intact. In the interim I decided to channel my inner Nicholas Taleb and ruin your collective day by singlehandedly smashing what you hold most dear as traders, i.e. your perspective on how markets function and your ability to anticipate what may come next. And if you think I am joking then you are most likely doubly mistaken. Read on at your own peril:

Fractal Alert!

Gold is keeping us in suspense as it continues its own 100-day SMA sprint – recently added as an Olympic discipline. I still maintain that we’ll may need the help of Usain Bolt here to keep up with this thing once it picks a direction. Always remember the old adage ‘the bus moves fastest once everyone got off’.

Has the Mole completely lost his mind? Indubitably, but that’s a different matter altogether – so let me explain the setup:

Take A Deep Breadth

I had to write myself a little fix for my NYSE breadth chart as at least the D/A panel promised to remain pretty much unusable after last Friday’s signal spike. Let me show you what I’m talking about:

There you have it – a major outlier which completely flattens everything preceding it. As 50+ signals are obviously a rare exception I resorted to truncating any spikes after 22 and painting the real value above, as such:

So much better, isn’t it? Now we have a functioning breadth chart again – I think that’s a rather simple but elegant solution. Anyway, the real reason for this after market post is the A/D panel which [...]
