The Financial Spread Betting Week In Review

It’s been another busy week for The LS Trader system. This week we closed 9 trades and rolled over 3 trades into the next contract.

Stocks

The markets finally showed an end of year rally which took us out of our short stock index trades. These short index trades have all been profitable (including the rollovers from previous contracts). I always look at the net profit/loss on trades as this is the only way to view things accurately, so although the current contracts exited with a loss this week, all 6 of our stock index trades were profitable.

One thing that usually comes up this time of year is the old Wall Street proverb which states “as January goes, so the rest of the year”. I don’t put too much emphasis on seasonal tendencies and statistics as you need much more than that to be a successful trader. However, just for interest here are a couple of points worth noting

Last January the S&P 500 fell 6.1% and the stock market entered a bear market during the year.

In 60 of the last 80 years, the January performance of the S&P 500 has correctly indicated whether stocks would end up higher or lower by the end of the year.

We are now out of the stock indices and Friday’s stock rally has the month of to a good start. We’ll have to wait and see what happens during the rest of this month and the rest of the year, but I don’t see any bull market in stocks on the horizon.

Commodities

The commodity markets were mostly higher again and with the exception of a handful of trades we are now out of the markets. This should give us plenty of good trading opportunities on the long side in 2009. The sell off in the commodity markets has perhaps been overdone in several markets and when the markets take off again we should have some excellent trades. I’m still very bullish long term on the commodity markets and I think that after the sell off ends we will have a bull run which will last several years.

Currencies

The US Dollar was marginally higher for the week overall. It will be very interesting to watch the US Dollar over the coming months as the Dollar has quite an impact on other markets, especially commodities as they are priced in Dollars.

The Japanese Yen fell against the Dollar for the week but the long term trend for the Yen is still up and we stay long, although our stops are now moving quite close to the market. What you will notice is that the Japanese Yen will in general move in the opposite direction to the stock markets, so as stocks have rallied over the past few trading days, the Yen has fallen.

Interest Rate Futures

Interest rate futures pulled back sharply this week. As I have been mentioning for the past few weeks these markets were overdue a correction. That does not mean that the trends are over though and we will stay long interest rate futures for now.

Good luck in your trading

Kind Regards
