“When Algo goes Bad” – Episodes 3 and 4 and 5.

Cast your minds back to May 6th 2010 when the Dow dropped close to 1000 points in a heartbeat. Clearly a Robot/Computer somewhere had “had a moment”.
Cast your minds back to June 8th 2011, when two Algorithmic trading machines went “Head to Head” in the overnight session in Natural Gas. We posted the chart on our Blog the next …

This morning’s analysis for EURGBP suggested a buy at 8070 with a stop at 8044.
Since we put that out pre 8am (UK time) the market has tested and held this level on a number of occasions.
A buy trade can be placed at current levels (8078) or a safer trade would be to buy a break through 8080, with …

Gold Technical Analysis for 14th September

All week now we’ve been suggesting that Marabuzo support at 1720.6 would be a good place for a buy order. Yesterday this was proved in some style. Just prior to the FOMC announcement we got a 1720 print. Then we got the nod on “QE3” from the Fed, and Gold ramped, getting up to 1775 by the end of the session. What now …

NASDAQ Technical Analysis for 13th September

A number of intertesting developments on this chart in recent days. Here’s what we wrote today:

Instead of gapping higher the NASDAQ failed at the previous days high and Marabuzo resistance. Selling down to 2775.25 was seen before a recovery into the close resulted in little change from the opening level.
.

Like the Dow and …

Corn Technical Analysis from FuturesTechs

This is what we sent to our clients on Monday talking about Corn Futures:
Last week’s low was 788 so bold support at 786 held firm, keeping the bulls in the box seat.
I’m not sure the scale of chart we were posting on here recently did justice to the power of the move that preceded the recent sideways consolidation, …

Gold Technical Analysis for 21st August

Is Gold getting interesting? We saw a move in Silver yesterday that suggests so…
This is a segment of yesterday’s commentary:
“Ultimately gold remains within a medium term consolidation in a multi week up trend so buyers will likely appear at trend support.
Our Skew remains neutral awaiting 2 consecutive closes above 1328.2-31.6 to back the bulls, or a break …

Candlesticks & Market Profile – our main building blocks

FuturesTechs has been in existence for over 12 years now.
