The rush one gets trying to pick a major top or bottom is flat out exciting and that is what makes it so darn addicting and irresistible. If you have ever nailed a market top or bottom then you know just how much money can be made. That one big win naturally draws you back to keep doing it much like how a casino works. The chemicals released in the brain during these extremely exciting times are strong enough that even the most focused traders fall victim to breaking rules and trying these type of bets/trades.

So if are going to try to pick a top you better be sure the charts and odds are leaning in your favor as much as possible before starting to build a position.

Below are a few charts with my analysis and thoughts overlaid showing you some of the things I look at when thinking about a counter trend trade like picking a top within a bull market.

Utility Stocks vs SP500 Index Daily Performance Chart:

The SPY and XLU performance chart below clearly shows how the majority of traders move out of the slow moving defensive stocks (utilities – XLU) and starts to put their money into more risky stocks. This helps boost the broad market. I see the same thing in bonds and gold this month which is a sign that a market top is nearing.

That being said when a market tops it is generally a process which takes time. Most traders think tops area  one day event but most of the times it takes weeks to unfold as the upward momentum slows and the big smart money players slowly hand off their long positions to the greedy emotion drove traders.

Look at the chart below and notice the first red box during September and October. As you can see it took nearly 6 weeks for that top to form before actually falling off. That same thing could easily happen again this time, though I do feel it will be more violent this time around.

SPY ETF Trading Chart Shows Instability and Resistance:

Using simple trend line analysis we see the equities market is trading at resistance and sideways or lower prices are more likely in the next week or two.

Stocks Trading Above 150 Day Moving Average Chart:

This chart because it’s based on a very long term moving average (150sma) is a slow mover and does not work well for timing traded. But with that said it does clearly warn you when stocks are getting a little overpriced and sellers could start at any time.

General rule is not to invest money on the long side when this chart is above the 75% level. Rather wait for a pullback below it.

Stocks Trading Above 20 Day Moving Average Chart:

This chart is based on the 20 day moving average (SMA) which moves quickly. Because it reacts quicker to recent price action it can be a great help in timing an entry point for a market top or bottom. It does not pin point the day/top it does give you a one or two week window of when price should start to correct.

How to Spot and Time Stock Market Tops Conclusion:

As we all know or will soon find out, trading is one of the toughest businesses or and one of the most expensive hobbies that one will try to master. Hence the 95-99% failure rate of individuals who try to understand how the market functions, position management, how to control their own emotions and to create/follow a winning strategy.

With over 8000 public traded stocks, exchange traded funds, options, bonds, commodities, futures, forex, currencies etc… to pick from its easy to get overwhelmed and just start doing more or less random trades without a proven, documented rule based strategy. This type of trading results in frustration, loss of money and the eventual closure of a trading account. During this process most individuals will also lose friends, family and in many cased self-confidence.

So the next time you think about betting against the trend to pick a top or a bottom you better make darn sure you have waited well beyond the first day you feel like the market is topping out. Stocks trading over the 150 and 20 day moving averages should be in the upper reversal zones and money should be flowing out of bonds and other safe haven/defensive stocks to fuel the last rally/surge higher in the broad market.

Also I would like to note that I do follow the index futures and volume very closely on both the intraday and daily charts. This is where the big money does a lot of trading. Knowing when futures contracts are being sold or bought with heavy volume is very important data in helping time tops and bottoms more accurately. And the more experience you have in trading also plays a large part in your success in trading tops and bottoms.

The real economy and the stock market are no longer strongly correlated. Essentially, they are meaningless. How do you evaluate risk when Treasury linked interest rates are artificially being held down by the Federal Reserve? How do you evaluate earnings growth estimates when most government based statistics are manipulated or “smoothed” to perfection?

My final argument to anyone who is a true believer that the stock market is representative of the economy is a very simple premise. If the stock market is the economy, how does the stock market evaluate small business earnings growth when most small businesses are not publicly traded? It is a simple question, but I have yet to find a sell side analyst that can work around it with facts.

To back up this information, here is a chart courtesy of www.zerohedge.com that demonstrates the S&P 500’s price action compared to economic data and overall macro risk.

The chart above clearly depicts the divergence between the macroeconomic data and the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Yet the sell side continues to scream that stocks are cheap, earnings are going to ramp up later this year on insane S&P 500 earnings growth expectations, and the consumer is going to remain strong even though payroll taxes have increased and the “wealthy” are paying more in taxes.

Even amid those concerns, no one knows for sure what the impact that Obamacare and the various new taxes associated with it will have on the business community. Again, the only thing driving growth is directly linked to the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet expansion. The chart below is courtesy of the Federal Reserve’s website.

On August 8, 2007 the Federal Reserve’s total assets were $869 billion dollars. As can clearly be seen today, according to the Federal Reserve the central bank’s total balance sheet has grown to over $3.2 trillion dollars. The increase is on the verge of rising exponentially. With QE, QE2, QE3, Operation Twist, Extended Operation Twist, and now with QE 4 in Perpetuity this trend is certainly unlikely to shift.

At this point in time the Federal Reserve is printing roughly $85 billion dollars each month to purchase Treasury securities with a focus on the long end of the maturity curve. As primary dealers of Treasury securities process these flows the money eventually finds its way into riskier assets that offer higher rates of returns through balance sheet machinations at large money center banks.

It has proven that the flow of the Federal Reserve’s printed monies are more important than the total money stock for a variety of reasons and inflation according to the government’s data is under control ex food and energy.

However, how are people supposed to survive without food and energy in today’s world? The last time I went to fill up my gas tank or to purchase food prices have gone up significantly. According to the 1990 version of consumer price reporting, real consumer inflation is running around 6% currently and shadowstats.com has the following comparison.

Unfortunately the 1980 based inflation numbers are even uglier, which based on Shadowstats’ data chart would place consumer inflation at nearly 10%. The calculations being used by Shadowstats.com are based on the government’s OLD ways of calculating inflation. The calculations were adjusted over time and today the data is completely manipulated by not including items that typically experience the largest levels of inflation.

Normally I talk about price action, probability based option trading, and technical information. However, before investors consider buying stocks near the all-time NOMINAL (non-inflation adjusted) highs, why not simply consider the backdrop of the total economic situation.

Central banks around the world are printing money at an alarming rate and their balance sheets are growing to levels not seen in human history. Interest rates are being manipulated to levels that are historically at record lows or near record lows based on real inflation data.

Macroeconomic indicators are issuing a cautionary tone with significant divergences showing up in many areas. Earnings expectations for the S&P 500 in the 3^rd and 4^th Quarter of 2013 are extreme and borderline ridiculous.

So before jumping headlong into equities based on some sell side analysts recommendation or even worse, a financial advisor who is more interested in his/her commission than they are about producing gains consider the following comparisons.

S&P 500 Index (SPX) Price Chart – 1 Year Price History

Gold Futures Spot Price Chart – 1 Year Price History

Clearly paper gold represented by gold futures is no substitute for physical ownership, but when one considers the fundamental backdrop for gold versus the S&P 500 Index, it should be clear which asset is offering the most value at current price levels. It does not require any inserted trendlines or oscillators, it should be clear which asset is expensive and which asset is cheap based on the real long-term economic fundamentals.

I will give you a hint regarding which asset is offering the most value. It can’t be printed, it has represented the store of value since the advent of modern civilization, and it is senior to all paper currencies.

Trend trading is one of the most popular trading strategies for binary options, and it´s a part of almost every advanced trading strategy, so you really need to know about it.

Detecting and Reading the Trend

The trend of an asset is in fact the main movement direction, which can be set over a number of time periods. There are always short term trends existing just a few hours and as part of long term trends with a lifespan up toseveral days or even weeks! Important for your success is to monitor trends over some time in ordert o detect long term trends and their directions!

There are just two trend directions :

Up Trend : An asset is showing an up trend, if the price action of a chart is showing a series of higher closings highs and lows. This series may even be interrupted, but the overall price movement is upwards!

Down Trend : This is the opposit of an Uptrend. An asset is showing an downtrend, if it´s price action of a chart is showing a series of lower closings highs and lows. This series may even be interrupted, but the overall price movement is downwards!

Trend trading can only be used if the market shows a clear price movement direction, avoid trading “non-trending” markets.

The Idea Behind Trend Trading

The key princip of trend trading is that a trend tend to persist. So if the price of an asset is moving down, the chance that the asset will keep moving down is higher than a change in movement direction!

Trend trading strategies can successfully used for all kinds of tradeable assets, like stocks, currency pairs, indeces or commodies. Trend trading is the basic for many advanced trading strategies, but it also can be used as main strategy for binary trading!

The trend trading strategie I want to show you here uses Call / Put binary options with an end of the day expiration, other strategies are using hourly, half an hour or even 60 seconds binary options! The trick is to use the right expiration time in relation to the trends timeframe.

Detecting and Monitoring Trends

The simplest way to detect trends would be to monitor an asset over a period of time, and to calculate the overall movement.
So let´s say we have a look at the USD/EUR, and the asset movement goes up for days now, the odds are good that it will continue raising in the next hours or days! The problem using this method is that you havn´t a chance to detect when the trend will change it´s direction.

A more advanced method to identify trends uses a technical indicator called “Simple Moving Average” (SMA) or alternatively the “Expotential Moving Average” (EMA). Both can be used with nearly same results, there are only some small differences in hpw the average is calculated!

Trend Trading Theory

This binary options strategy utilizes the SMA (or EMA) and tries to make profits from intra day trades. If you use the settings shown below, we can identify a change in market momentum whenever the SMA line with a lower time frame crosses a SMA line with a higher time frame! See the picture as example!

In order to use this strategy, ensure to follow these steps :

1. Set the Chart of your Asset to a 30 Minute time frame!
2. Set the SMA or EMA indicator to 5 day, 10 day and 20 day time frames.
3. Log in to your binary options broker, open the asset and set it to end of day expiry!
4. Have a look at the picture below to see when to enter a trade!

You can use the Metatrader Software or similar trading tools, or you can use one of those broker providing a good analyse section, if you don´t know where to get online charts, try Forex Capital! But on the other hand, if you know something better, please let me know in the comment section!

When to Enter a Trade?

Trend trading Binary Opitons

As soon as the 5d (red in the Pic. Below) and 10d (orange in the Pic. Below) indicators have crossed the 20d (Blue in the Pic. Below) indicator, it´s time to enter the trade and to purchase a option in movement direction with a end of day expirery! Only trade these signals in the first few hours (between 3-6, forex assets can be traded a bit later with good results!) of a trading day.

When to Use This Strategy

This strategy works with asssets showing a long term trend, the goal is to profit from this longterm trend through intra day trades. If you identify the right trend, this strategy should win between 60% – 80% of your trades! Some things to keep in mind with this strategy! It´s important to know that the moving average just shows you waht already happened, the problem is you don´t know how long the trend will keep it´s moving direction, that´s one reason for trading this strategy only at the beginning of the trading day, this minimizes the this risk!

It´s also possible to utilize this strategy using other timeframs and expiration times, but shorter timeframes may also lead to a higher rate of misleading signals!

Another variant of this strategy is to trade with hourly expirations, as soon as you get the entry signal, and to stop trading this direction as soon as the 5d or 10d indicator crosses the 20d once again! This strategy will be tested by me next week!
