Zahvaljujuci Contresu, instalirao sam novi alat koji radi sa TD Ameritrade-om. Prvi koraci su bili postavljanje Paintbarova sa QouteTracker bloga. Za probu sam unio tri paintbara: NRBar: if ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[1]-Bar Low[1]) set color to Gray InsideBar: if ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[1]-Bar Low[1]) AND Bar High[1]>=Bar High AND Bar Low[1] <= Bar Low set color to Yellow NR7: if ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[1]-Bar Low[1]) AND ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[2]-Bar Low[2]) AND ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[3]-Bar Low[3]) AND ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[4]-Bar Low[4]) AND ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[5]-Bar Low[5]) AND ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[6]-Bar Low[6]) AND ABS(Bar High-Bar Low) <= ABS(Bar High[7]-Bar Low[7]) set color to $8000FF Iako ne znam njihovo značenje (očito da ima veze sa candlestickovima o kojima znam vrlo malo), barem sada znam tehniku kojima se paintbar točkice mogu postaviti na neki chart! |
Ispitujući na opcijskom simulatoru kakva je moguća pozicija OM-a pokušao sam simulirati takvu poziciju. Na žalost ne može se smanjiti horizontalni interval za dionicu, pa je dosta nepregledno. Budući da je prva upisana vrijednost na y osi $10000 kao dobit, teško je iz grafa vidjeti odmah kolika bi dobit bila, ako npr dionica odmah padne na $22. CONN STRADDLE CONN STRADDLE KOMPONENTE Bolji opcijski simulator na Yahoo-u na žalost nema mogućnost unošenja različitih strikeova i generiranja ovakve pozicije, ali vuče podatke iz baze, za razliku od gornjeg simulatora koji ima sve ručno (što nam zaista može biti korisno u pojedinim situacijama). |
WASHINGTON - Orders to factories for big-ticket manufactured goods rose modestly in February, helped by a rebound in sales of commercial aircraft and autos. The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that demand for durable goods rose by 2.5 percent last month after having plummeted by 9.3 percent in January. The huge January decline, the biggest in 6 1/2 years, was one of the factors that triggered a one-day drop of 416 points in the Dow Jones industrial average as investors grew worried that the economy was slowing abruptly. Even with the February rebound, which was smaller than the 3.5 percent gain that Wall Street was expecting, the report continued to raise worries about the health of the manufacturing sector. Outside of the volatile transportation sector, orders were down 0.1 percent, the fourth decline in this category in the past five months. The strength last month was led by a 9.6 percent rise in orders for transportation goods, led by an 88.4 percent surge in orders for commercial aicraft, reflecting a pickup in demand at Boeing Co. Orders in the troubled auto industry rose by 1.3 percent, rebounding from a 9.2 percent drop in January. But orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft fell by 1.2 percent following an even larger 7.4 percent drop in January. This category is closely watched for signals it can provide of business plans to expand and modernize. The hope was that economic growth would be supported this year by strong increases in business investment, which would help cushion the impact of the sharp slowdown in housing. If business investment also falters, that would raise concerns about a recession this year, something that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has said is a one-in-three possibility. The Fed last week triggered a big stock market rally by signaling after its March meeting that it would consider cutting interest rates if economic growth weakens further. |

Stocks Spike on News of Merger Deals By Tim Paradis, AP Business Writer Wall Street Surges As Merger Deals Continue and Overseas Markets Extend Their Recovery NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks spiked higher Monday as Wall Street joined overseas markets in riding a wave of merger news to bounce back from a losing week. The Dow Jones industrials rose 115 points. The buyout news, particularly the possibility of an enormous deal that would unite Dutch bank ABN Amro Holding NV with British bank Barclays PLC, propelled stocks higher as investors theorized that companies remain upbeat about the economy if they're willing to cut new deals. The advance kicked off an important week for economic data; the first reading, a report from the Chicago Federal Reserve, said regional manufacturing slowed in January. The market was also waiting for Tuesday's start of the U.S. Federal Reserve's two-day meeting on interest rates. While few expect the Fed will adjust short-term interest rates, investors will be looking for any change in the central bank's posture that could hint at where rates are headed in the coming months. Given the volatility that has returned to the marketplace and the upcoming statement from the Fed, market watchers aren't ruling out more big swings in stocks going forward.

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -0.6. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -2.3. Stocks now look to open on a relatively flat note as investors sift through yet another piece of economic data. February Industrial Production rose a stronger than expected 1.0% (consensus 0.3%), the largest increase since November 2005, easing some of the concerns about economic weakness. Capacity Utilization rose to 82.0% (consensus 81.3%). 08:32 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -4.3. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -5.5. Futures trade improves somewhat following a relatively in-line CPI report but still languishes below fair value to suggest a lower start for stocks. Total CPI rose 0.4% (consensus 0.3%). The more closely-watched core rate rose 0.2% in February, matching economists' forecasts to leave the year/year rate at 2.7% and providing some comfort following yesterday's stronger than expected PPI data. |
Asian Stocks Are Mixed; U.S. Economic Woes Haunt Markets15 Mar 2007 Asian stocks were mixed in the afternoon session Friday as fears that trouble in the U.S. subprime mortgage market could spread to the rest of the U.S. economy lingered. Japan closed lower while South Korea managed to recover earlier losses to finish flat. Greenspan Warns Subprime Problems Could Spill Over Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Thursday there was a risk that rising defaults in subprime mortgage markets could spill over into other economic sectors. Speaking to the Futures Industry Association, Greenspan conceded that it was "hard to find any such evidence" about spillover from housing yet. But he added: "You can't take 10% out of mortgage originations without some impact." He said that subprime woes were "not a small issue" and seemed to result primarily from buyers coming into lofty housing markets late after big price run-ups that had left them vulnerable to hikes in adjustable mortgage rates. Default rates in the subprime segment of the U.S. mortgage market have jumped in recent months as the housing industry slowed and prices fell. The crisis has triggered broader concerns that the fallout may spread to mainstream lenders and damage the economy. Greenspan, whose words still move markets even though he gave up the Fed chairmanship more than a year ago, said that adjustable rate mortgages, or ARMs, have been moving up recently and that has made them a problem for homeowners who are stressed by higher monthly payments. Meantime, though, Greenspan said much of the strength in consumer spending over the past five years can be traced to capital gains on surging housing prices, whether they were both realized or not. That means that if home prices keep falling, there could be more of an impact on the broader economy's momentum, he indicated, since consumer spending fuels two-thirds of national economic activity. |
Stocks were trading lower, weighed down by fears of further deterioration in the subprime lending industry. Another rally in the yen and weaker-than-expected U.S. retail sales also dampened sentiment. "We're seeing more of the same with market continuing to vacillate between fear of a slowing economy and slowing earnings," Randy Bateman, Chief Investment Officer at Huntington Funds told CNBC.com. "Six weeks ago nobody knew what subprime meant. Now it's the buzz everybody's talking about. Danas mi je privukla pažnju LEND - Kompanija čija sudbina može lako biti jednaka onoj od NEW - banke su povukle financiranje i moguć je bankrot. Dionica LEND (Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co) je pala 50-tak % i brokeri ne primaju shorting naloge, a put-evi su poprilično skupi i nelikvidni - ista situacija je bila na NEW. Nad cijelim tržištem lebdi mračni oblak subprime morgage kuća i vuče indexe dolje, uz zabrinutost da bi se to moglo preliti u cijelu ekonomiju i odvući u recesiju. Ni ostali podaci danas nisu izašli dobri: Sales at the nation's retailers edged up by 0.1% in February as bad winter weather in many parts of the country kept shoppers away from the malls. Shoppers in February cut spending on a wide range of goods, including home furnishings, building and garden supplies, clothing, electronics and appliances, and sporting goods, books and music. They also ate out less. A bright spot was auto sales, which went up by 0.9% in February. That followed a decrease of the same size in the previous month. The latest retail figures were weaker than economists were forecasting. They expected sales would go up by 0.3%. |
U.S. Stock Futures Fall on Subprime Woes 08:33 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -9.2. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -15.0. February retail sales rose just 0.1% (consensus 0.3%) while the more closely-watched sales, ex-autos, unexpectedly fell 0.1% (consensus 0.3%). With the market increasingly concerned about the pace of economic growth, the weaker than expected data exacerbate ongoing concerns about a slowdown. Bonds, in contrast, have strengthened as the 10-yr note is now up 13 ticks to yield 4.49% as traders price in an improved likelihood of a Fed rate cut. |
Tržište vjerojatno sada uračunava mogućnost recesije u cijene dionica. Ako izvještaj o zaposlenosti u petak bude loš vidjet ćemo sigurno novi "leg down". Od neekonomskih vijesti: osim što ne mogu za radnog vremena ići na blogove, pa tako ni ažurirati svoj, još mi internet nije radio, pa sam propustio i OM-ovu preporuku za IMH. Čak i kupovina dionice bi bila odličan potez, a kupovina opcije (ali na samom početku dana) - ludnica! Inače, od jučer na kraju dana sam ponovno u shortu na qqqq. |
NORMAL VOLATILITY HAS RETURNED! March 2, 2007. In this column two weeks ago, I wondered how investors would react when normal volatility returns to the market after such a long period with no volatility at all. I noted that for three years the market had seen only 24 days when the Dow closed up or down more than 150 points. Yet over the previous five years there had been 245 days such days (as well as 122 days when it moved more than 200 points, 30 days when it moved more than 300 points, and even 8 days when the one-day moves exceeded 400 points). Just two weeks later normal volatility has returned, beginning with that 415 point decline by the Dow on Tuesday. It created a bit of panic on the TV financial shows for awhile. Anchors were particularly frustrated when they couldn’t get instant and easy answers in interviews. One after another, analysts responded to their question, “What should investors expect now?” with the answer, “At this point I have no way of knowing. We’ll just have to wait and see how the market trades for the next few days.” There was volatility during the trading day on Wednesday and Thursday, with the Dow swinging as much as 200 points between its low and high, but only fractional changes by the close each day. The Dow closed back up 52 points on Wednesday, and down only 34 points on Thursday. So by Friday morning bullishness had returned. Wall Street spokesmen were advising investors to take advantage of the bargain prices. One gentleman told CNBC viewers that the market had undergone a ‘bloody’ correction on Tuesday that had stocks on the bargain table. Perhaps. But I doubt it. A 4% decline is a pullback, not a correction, and certainly not a ‘bloody’ correction. The term correction implies that a condition is being corrected. Sometimes it’s overvaluations. Sometimes it’s overbought conditions. Sometimes it’s investor sentiment that has become too euphoric. A 4% decline of a few days duration does not correct anything, which is why actual corrections, as opposed to brief pullbacks, just don’t end that quickly. The market has been overdue for a correction of 10% or so on the Dow and S&P 500, and up to 20% on the more speculative Nasdaq for quite some time. After three years of such a non-volatile market, that may seem like a lot. But it is not. As I pointed out a few weeks ago, over the last 50 years the Dow has experienced a decline of 10% on average of every 1.4 years, whether in a bull or bear market. It happened even in the rip-roaring seemingly one-direction 1990s bull market. It has had a 15% decline on average of every 2.2 years, and a decline of more than 20% (a bear market) on average of every 3.8 years. The Dow hit a new high of 12,786 on February 20. A 10% decline would be to 11,507. A 15% decline would be to 10,868. Either of those would be normal corrections, and would not be enough to break the uptrend of the bull market that began in 2002. One reason I’ve been expecting such a correction, which if I am right, would mean this week’s decline has further to go, is technical. As I noted in this column a few weeks ago, the Dow and S&P 500 were over-extended above their 200-day moving averages to a degree that in the past always ended badly, usually so quickly that it leaves no time to exit undamaged. And once a correction begins from such an overbought condition it usually doesn’t end until the indexes have broken below their 200-day moving averages to an oversold condition. That usually takes four to six weeks, with brief rally attempts along the way. At this point, the indexes have a ways to go before they would even be down to the moving averages, let alone oversold beneath them. For instance, the Dow’ 200-day m.a. is at 11,775. My other reason for believing the correction has further to go is based on investor sentiment. Investors are usually very bullish and euphoric at market tops, made so by the rising prices and profits. They expect any pullbacks to be brief, and to be buying opportunities. Conversely, sentiment is usually very bearish and pessimistic by the time corrections have run their course, with the consensus being that even lower prices lie ahead. At this point there is some nervousness. The volatility certainly has investors’ attention. But there is no evidence that investors have lost their confidence in the bull market to any degree. For these, and other reasons, and in spite of the bullish noises already coming out of Wall Street, I expect the correction has further to go. We will be providing subscribers with updates as additional data comes in. |

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks fell in the final session of a tumultuous week as the yen rallied against the dollar Friday and concerns about the strength of the U.S. economy still weighed on investors following a plunge in stocks early in the week. Evo jednog copy-paste unosa JER NE STIGNEM UNOSITI, zauzet sam shortanjem i povremenom kupnjom manje količine callova (i prodaje do kraja dana jučer, tako da su ispali dobar hedge shortu) kada se previše naglo zaleti u negativu kao što je bilo otvaranje jučer! Sve na qqqq. U radno vrijeme ne mogu unositi - onemogućeno. Ovaj post služi i da možemo otvoriti nove threadove za dopisivanje, ovaj donji ću "srediti" kad stignem. Sretno trgovanje!!! |
