below strategy is a good summary of team-Kerb Swing trading plan in general.
#IgnoreTheNoise
follow the team-Krb plan with confidence
$VIX crushed 10% today
now, back to 23ish
it would be the best scenario,
when SPX > 3975 to 4100
&
$VIX <20 or 18
then scale-in STFR puts with super low premium
&
wait for next leg down & panic low
& $VIX >35 or 40
then
BTF-capitulation @ 3400
team-Kerb best scenario plan🤣🍻
too bad😉
team Kerb missed the best scenario?🤣
best scenario
=
1) $SPX tanked -250 pts on morning CPI data
2) team-Kerb received 3600 & 3500 gifts @ capitulation
3) then $SPX surged >3950 after the open
4) too bad, we missed the best scenario like last CPI release on Oct 13🤣
starting next week,
I will take a break from social media to recharge.
don't go away. I will be back.

when the ratio (purple line) is moving up and starts to tick down, then take profit immediately.

team-Kerb plan
1) sold all BTF-capitulation calls @ 3675 3600 3500
last week
2) both profit-tgts @ 3875 & 3950 filled on Thu 5.5% short-squeeze to a T
3) started scale-in STFR trades
4) SPX filled @ 4000 Friday
5) not $ES_Z (=4009)

but, on a positive note:

2) Powell nuclear-bomb = yes🍻

3) ?🍻
$VIX crushed from 37+ to 21 handle in just 5-6 days
while $USD surged to above $91.50
broken markets continued
$USD & $VIX should be highly positively correlated
&
$USD & $SPX should be highly negatively correlated
since last week, the market structure=upside down

ICYMI.. Indicator update
I was ridiculed by many "non-believers" last week by below Monday Tweet, warning about a pending market correction with over 90% probability
And it did happen on Tue, Thur and Friday
This indicator is still on & valid for the coming week
👇🤐👇.
Data mining, data analytics & deep learning would pay off? Let's wait & see😎
To invite some trollings, I will reiterate
The market crash indicators/prob is now higher than 90%.
Below is one of my crash indicators
The red line (inv-crash prob) is now almost as hi as Feb 18
@rsroc2
In general there are 3 types of rallies:
1 Across the board
2 Short squeeze
3 FAANG market cap driven
#1
is real
#2
,
#3
can only be detected by breadth indicators's divergence:
a. most shorted stocks rally
b Equal-Weigh vs Market cap
c Tons of breadth indicators
See Below
1/7
plan for this wk?
1) if SPX tanks
we'll have our "gift" @ 3500
wait for a short-squeeze rally to 3875, 3950
do more covered/short calls on $SPX pump ~100 pts from entry
2) if mkt rises
1st tgt >3875
2nd tgt >3950
STFR >3975
so, surge or plunge this wk, we all covered🍻
cool🤣
position update
Sep 23
we took profit on all of our 3 scale-in STFR bearish positions when $SPX <3700
then
we turned mildly bullish
started the BTF-capitulation trades
1) 1st scale-in long: filled on 9/23 @ 3675
2) 2nd scale-in: filled on 9/30 @ 3600
3) final @ 3500
4) cool?🍻
The Thanksgiving special:
$VIX Long strategy = Indicator-VL
2nd-tgt SPX >4125
&
VIX <20
today VIX = 20.42; getting there
to prove:
below Ind-VL pinpointed all VIX bottoms to a T
very good odds that Ind-VL would turn RED
when
both SPX >4125 && VIX <20 are true
in coming days🍻
7) 2nd-tgt >4125 & VIX <20
if both
$SPX >4125
and
$VIX <20
are true & confluent
then
the probability of a $SPX correction and/or a $VIX spike is greatly enhanced
plus,
when both are true, the premium of the STFR puts also decreases significantly
super cool ! 🍻
below is one of the most important Jaws of 2023
1) $SPX @ euphoria/fomo highs🐵
but
2) $USD is stronger (bearish for risky assets)
or $USD (Inverted) is weaker
for visual Jaws detection
3) what happened next?🦃
Oct 2021 Jaws
Mar 2022 Jaws
Aug Jaws
this time is different?😉🤣
this is what I have been advocating on the leg-in iron-Condors:🧐👍
1) when SPX pumped >Yellen wall +20
short calls (or call-spreads) with short-strike >4300 (or 4310 for ES_M) 1 week out
2) when SPX dumped below Kerb-wall -20
short puts (or put-spreads) with short-strike <4000
Team-Kerb:
do you think today's SPX & $UST yield price action was staged, manipulated & engineered by Powell?
a dovish Fed statement followed by some super-duper Hawkish conference comments
to benefit the insiders & colluders?
not cool.
if yes, click "like" !! 👍🍻🍻🍻👍
example for rolling:
A. assume long Dec puts (6-mth out)
B. Theta decay is minimal for the first 3-mth
C. by Sep/Oct, start to prepare rolling out to Mar (suffering minimum decay) if SPX hasn't plunged yet
D. avoid the dreaded last 2-month Theta decay
E. super important🧐😎
rolling out example.

this is a free service with tons of my own research results & valuable data analytics that you can't get from anywhere else, even with expensive paid services
so, if you don't agree with me

Otherwise, I don't think you deserve it.
monitor below chart closely.

maturity at least 4 month out

C. by Sep/Oct, start to prepare rolling out to Mar (suffering minimum decay) if SPX hasn't plunged yet
D. avoid the dreaded last 2-month Theta decay
E. super important🧐😎
my favorite strategy
$XLY & $WMT spread z-score
entry
z < -1 std => long 1/3 of total lots
long WMT & short h * XLV
z < -2 std => long 2/3 of total lots
profit
z > 0 std => out 1/3 lots
z > +1 std => out 1/3 lots
z > +2 std trailing 1/3 lots
stop
z < -3 std. out.
pair trading: many strategies
$XLY=cyclical, growth
$WMT=value, staple
fear, crisis=>WMT strong
greed, FOMO=>XLY strong
easily spotted on below pair-trading spread z-score FOMO/Greed zones
now: greed zone, like Jan 2020
If you have many similar charts?
long WMT👌
short XLY🦃
For those who just joined me last week, this is a must read post which would make one stay on the right side of the market. Do not long or short $VIX related ETFs/ETNs by gut feeling

The "bear trap" & "bull trap" concept using the volume profile POC is very useful in intra-day trading also
Especially in the futures where the buyer & sellers are zero-sum game, for every long there is a short
We had two-days in a row in
#ES
One final quiz for the day:🧐🙃
If scanning within the S&P 502 stocks or QQQ 100 or any sector, if one finds more than 70% of the stocks within the group having the same "bull trap" patterns, what would the $SPX price go the next day?
How about one finds tons of "bear traps"?😎
Confluence is KING

still many swings to BTFD & STFR prior to 3400
to new followers: trying to understand the macro trend in a recession year
below Team-Kerb macro view for 2022 & 2023.
stocks will not go down in a straight line
always follow the 3 stages of declines
hence
trade the swings & controlled demolition
STF-euphoria
BTF-capitulation
ALERT
The 200-d Correlation between $VIX & $VVIX for last five year was above 70
Very high correlation
When in times of stress, if this correlation (200) was below 60, and the $VIX & $VVIX both declined, signifying complacency, a huge $VIX spike event would follow 100%

🤣🍻🍻🤣
Anybody still interest in this thread?
If I have enough people interested in learning the "risk-adjusted modern portfolio theory", I will continue
Prerequisite:
portfolio return
standard-deviation(std)=risk
sharpe ratio = risk adjusted portfolio return
To understand the risk-adjusted return is a very important concept for portfolio management, especially in times of stress with tons of risks
For people to claim this is not applicable in 2020, is just unfathomable
Risk-parity funds tend to do relatively well in times of stress
I re-tweeted below post 100+ times
for long-term calls or puts
in a STFR bear regime
use 0.3 to 0.5 delta
and
below long duration maturity to minimize Theta decay; minimum 4 months out.
roll them out before the dreaded & accelerated time-decay kicking-in the last 2 months

A. assume long Dec puts (6-mth out)
B. Theta decay is minimal for the first 3-mth
C. by Sep/Oct, start to prepare rolling out to Mar (suffering minimum decay) if SPX hasn't plunged yet

plus more 2021 prediction
1) @ Apr/May FOMC, Powell insisted peak-rate =3% to control inflation to 2%
2) Kerb challenged: peak-rate=6% to tame inflation to 2% & stay there for a long-time

a couple of Kerb-followers claimed I saved their marriages too
I am the CEO of team-Kerb enterprise.
p.s.
CEO
=
Chief Entertainment Officer🤪
people claimed the same in Mar 2022
SPX > 4600
Kerb: tgt = 3700
what happened?
June low = 3650
almost 1000 pts drop
same in Aug high SPX > 4300
Kerb: tgt = 3500
and
Sep/Oct low = 3491
800 pts plunge
this time is different?
another 800 pts drop
SPX = 3200👍🎯👍
fade $GS
doomers at $GS capitulated and turned super bullish today 🤣
as expected ! 😋 🫖🍵🍵🍵🫖😋
time to be bearish @ Kerb-wall, when $GS turning super bullish
fade $GS
for the scale-in STFR trades:
1st profit-target = 3675
2nd profit-target = 3600
doomers & late-bears would then claim:
"the sky is falling & Lehman-moment, 2400 coming"
then
we turn super bullish
& wait for the BTF-capitulation targets

if today is another down day,
$SPX down 5 days in row
short-term oversold
I am buying some cheap calls if $SPX <3930 in the afternoon
to hedge some short-term upside risk.
expecting profit target =4050 on the short-term upside hedge.
how about below low-volume melt-up?
predicting the Dec plunge?
BTW, on Powell preplanned, staged, fake reverse-bomb last Wed, $SPY did reach the top trendline
then as expected
the plunge ensued
too bad, we didn't get our Xmas gift on that pump🎯
well
can't be that perfect🤣
Happy new-year special🍻

bearish Jaws over the entire Oct/Nov melt-up
quiz:
Indicator-Apocalyptic😉
this is an easy one, but effective
for both bearish-Jaws & bullish Jaws
answer after the new year🤣
Jaws
#4
: Jan 2022
bearish Jaws =stealthy dist. @ top
many CEOs & insiders dumping their company stks
for aggressive traders with tons of cash/capital
1) you can add more scale-in Puts b/w Kerb-wall & matcha-wall
2) raise max-risk to
8% or 10% of your capital
3) this rally was designed to kill all doomers & late bears who shorted <3850
4) after the squeezes; not going to last
the 3rd & final scale-in 2x STFR puts
SPX >$4315 && VIX < 18
1x =max risk of 1% of total capital
2x =max risk of 2% of your capital
so, we'll have a max of
6x =6% of total capital
worst case
but, we already had many call-hedges & short-Puts hedges in last 2 mths
more to come
bulls beware🧐
the market is entering the final phase of
1 dumb money accumulation
2 smart money stealthy distribution
3 the ultimate "shoeshine boy" moment would be here when all the stimulus checks buying at ATH mkt top- Mar 2000?- you will be lectured by the shoeshine boy🍻

1 BTFD - below fear zone, BTFD on cross-over
2 STFR - above euphoria zone & Jaws (divergence), STFR on trend-line break

position update
after we took profit on 3 scale-in shorts: when $SPX <3700 in Sep
we turned mildly bullish
BTF-capitulation
1) 1st scale-in long: filled on 9/23 @ 3675
2) 2nd : filled on 9/30 @ 3600🧲
3) final: filled on 10/13@ 3500🎯
4) 1st tgt >3875
5) 2nd tgt >3950
6) STFR
Sep CPI 8.2% vs 8.1% expected
hotter than expected (8.1)
but, less than feared (>8.3)
position
Sep 23
took profit on all 3 scale-in STFR trades when $SPX <3700
1) 1st scale-in filled @ 3675
2) 2nd scale-in filled @ 3600
3) final @ 3500 filled
ignore the noise
stay the course
2nd stage already accomplished on Oct 13 when $SPX made a panic low ~=3491 on the Hot-CPI
we are ready for the 3rd & final stage plunge to my target 3400; worst-case =3200
but not until Powell hikes rate to >6% in coming Qs
we still have many swings to BTFD & STFR in between
@kerberos007
is this down leg the 2nd stage or 3rd stage demolishing? you mentioned it is still 2nd yesterday. then if this is still 2nd stage, 3650 cover --> 3400 BTFD would be the start of 3rd stage? thanks
Wyckoff method & VSA analysis:
SOW = Sign of Weakness
Instead of monitoring 505 individual charts, I just had an idea to quantify all charts in $SPX, measuring the breadth of $SPX movement by comp stock momentum scoring
hint:
1 below chart showing Agilent's momentum score
Important: for 🐂🧸🐻🐂
It is all about the Risk/Reward analysis
Upside= 5% max
Downside= -20 to -30%: worst case =
#SPX
2200
See below R:R analysis 1-2 days before the Feb-Mar historical plunge, while everybody was expecting SPX 4,000 in a week. FOMO.
Same R:R as today.🧐😎
remember $SPX 3950 = super-duper 🧲🧲🧲
beware:
by tomorrow, if the Ponzi retests the 3950 again,
then on Wed
the Ponzo might pump $SPX to ~4000 to stop-run the late-bears & doomers during Powell speech
then, STFR again
team-Kerb:
ignore the noise,
trade the team-Kerb plan.👍
sure it is NOT a capitulation
it is @ euphoria zone
not even a minor pullback
surely it is a catalyst to what's coming
1) China 0-Covid policy,
defiant protests &
on-going supply-chain disruption causing high inflation
2) Powell-Bomb, Bullard-bomb & more Fed-Bombs to come💣💣

position update
1) scale-in more STFR positions >3925 & VIX <25
2) if we get lucky
scale-in more shorts >4025 & VIX <20
3) 1st profit target=3700
4) 3625 all-out
5) then capitulation
6) then BTFD & wait for short-squeeze rally
7) rinse repeat🍻
do you own DD
trade accordingly
position update:
1) plan to scale-in more STFR positions >3925
2) if we get lucky,
scale-in more short > 4025
3) 1st profit target = 3700
4) then 3625
do you own DD🧐
trading accordingly
one can also think of
1st leg (wave) down
2nd leg (wave) down
3rd leg (wave) down
in a STFR bear regime, ignoring the counter-trend bear-market short-squeeze rallies as long as each leg-down is lower than previous one
zig zag
zig zag
zig zag
zig zag
to the final 3rd leg target🎯
updated chart for 3 stages of controlled demolition
2022 & 2023
1st stage $ 2nd stage completed
3rd stage is to be accomplished
when
#SPX
making a lower low & panic low ~= 3400/3200
I got this bad feeling they're positioned to stage a "rip your face off rally", no matter what the election outcome
1 to kill all options "Gamma" for a few days
2 making all shorts "the endangered species"🧐
3 then a huge rug pull, if it's a contested election
4 cash is KING😉
Tomorrow: Nov 3
1 The best positioning is "no position" =all cash
2 second = "short" with proper upside hedging
3 third = long with proper downside hedge
10 worst = all-in bulls
there will be plenty of times in the coming days to decide which direction is the best investment🧐
in theory
1) if SPX
@ATH
, making higher highs
2) $VIX should go down, or making lower high
3) but if both moving up in sync with 7-day corr>25%
4) means left-tail risk rising
smart-money long SPX puts, hedging under-the-hood, expecting a risk event coming
5) someone always knows
I have a few friends working at $NVDA
they called, telling me:
they're cashing out big time on their company's stock options that were granted free a few yrs back
they are saying:
this rally is BS,
thanks to the Ponzi pump,
raising tons of cash😉
they're all multi-millionaires😋
cumulative $CPI index
another all time high =304.127
the trend is till going up in May
just at a "cooler" rate mostly due to gasoline, which is very volatile MoM
notice the long-term CPI trend
=2% chg YoY (red-line)
but
at current pace (blue),
long way to go to hit 2% tgt🧐
we'll receive our FedEx gift delivery next wk?
below breadth Indi-FOMO reached Euphoria/FOMO zone only 4 times in the last 3 yrs
Jan 2020, pre-Covid euphoria only reached ~80%, then a huge Jaws emerged by Feb & crash ensued
Aug Pivot hope >90%🦃
Dec reverse-bomb💣hope >90%🤣
10) in the mean time, team-Kerb trades the range from 3400-4200
11) <3500, doomers: the sky is falling, all-in shorts, we buy, then short-squeeze
12) >4100, melt-up gurus: to da Moon, all-in longs, we short, then rug-pull
13) rinse repeat
14) team-Kerb plan until 2024 or 2032
5) if SPX >4200, the hyper-inflation is back on again
6) causing super over-valuation & everything bubble on all assets
7) Powell would need to start the cycle all over again
8) Powell can't let that happen
9) Powell to use Kerb "melt-up gurus & late bulls" crash indi 👍🤣
yesterday:
we met emperor XI @ great-wall
by Friday:
we will meet Trump @ Trump wall
next week:
we will meet Biden @ Biden fence
is this a good team-Kerb plan
to visit some walls & meet famous people? 🤣
we need a new Putin-wall? 😉🤣
Zelenskyy wall?
the market will not go down in a straight line
take advantage of the gyration
the higher the pump
the harder the dump
important point
until Mar FOMC
the risk is heavily skewed to the downside
Powell to raise peak-rate to 6%
the peak-rate stays there for a few Qs until CPI @ 2%
thanks to my long-term loyal followers greatly🍻
who have helped me to answer some of the questions raised by my new followers who do not know my trading terminology yet.
which saved me tons of time.
thank you 👍
what a day?
-120 pts down @ low just below 3495 pre-mkt
we've got our gift @ 3500
I claimed: ignore the noise, stay the course.
what?
-120 pts = noise?
yep
$SPX HOD = 3685
what a squeeze?
short-squeeze rally
almost 200 pts surge from $SPX low = 3490
not bad.☺️🍻🍻🍻☺️
wowo🤣
I have to run an errand and just got back.
what a pump?
$SPX 4090 AH🍻
Powell dropped a "Reverse-Bomb"? 🥸💣🥸
as expected
it was so suspicious on Monday, sending 4 officials to act like Hawkish-Powell coming
so obvious
so staged
can't fool team-Kerb🤣
"the TOP" is not there yet🔔
we need all the melt-up gurus & Cramer to pump more & more
to get to our gift 4125
to prove?
see below chart,
added the negatively-sloped, downtrend line👍
a chart is worth a zillion words & a zillion dollars🍻
during 2000 bubble, my 401K were full of Cramer stocks. bad
after Y2K tech wreck
I made a BIG decision to not listen to any pundits or analysts. I will do my own. I studied, reading all trading books out there👍
only trust my own research & analytics
fade Cramer & analysts
@kerberos007
No wonder why I am obsessed with your twitter feeds; I am following your path... except that listening to Cramer part (inversing it if I listen to him)😅

make sure team-Kerb knows the plan
1) assume: people took profit 1/2 pos @ 3875
if mkt up
2) still 10 calls open (1/2 pos)
if mkt dn
3) long 5 calls @ 1st 3600
4) long 5 calls @ 2nd 3500
5) back to 20 calls
mkt up or dn
6) 1st Profit-T =3875
7) 2nd P-T =3950
8) STFR >3975
👇
example
0) with 3 scale-in longs @ 3675 3600 3500
1) total pos =20 calls
2) profit-taking on 10 calls @ 3875
on the next leg-down
3) 5 calls @ 3600
4) 5 calls @ 3500
5) back to 20 calls
or no luck with the additional gifts
6) still 10 calls
7) 1st PT = 3875
8) 2nd PT = 3950
I will stop posting any levels/targets
people did not read all my posts before complaining
it is free
you have to make your own trades
for scale-in, I repeatedly state the importance of
1)position sizing
2)risk mgmt
& many threads explaining the concept with real examples

$VIX = 20.38
getting there.
but,
2nd STFR target is when
$SPX >4125 && $VIX <20
both have to be true at the same time for the STFR order to fill
if $SPX = 4120 && VIX =19.99
no STFR.
if $SPX = 4125 && VIX =19.99
yes STFR @ 4125
if $SPX = 4150 && VIX =19.99
yes STFR @ 4150
People
Please be realistic here
The sky is not falling
The brightest minds in the world are working on virus cure

Please wake up
