Art's futures biases for Sep 8. A "1" means bullish bias. A "-1" means bearish bias. The total is the sum of biases. A positive sum will be long bias. A negative sum will be a short bias. A sum of zero will be a neutral bias. ______________________________________________ According to the CzarCharts, we should see strong currencies on Tuesday, particularly the euro. The day-of-month indicator has moved from bullish to bearish in the indices. The combined signals are not one-sided enough for a formal recommendation, but keep in mind that over-the-top rallies like Monday's have not only tended not to follow through the next day, but of late, they've often moved sharply lower.

The transfer will be completed on September 19 when the September contract disappears from the board. I've been assured the contract's specs won't change so I'm assuming it will continue to produce top shelf performance. I love that market. As I've pointed out in lectures and articles, it tends to not raid stop orders to the degree of the longer-established S&P and Nasdaq futures. For those wishing to track the new version on Trade Station, the symbol is TF. Again, Thursday, is the first day of December being the active index contract. The CzarCharts are urging shorts in the 30- and 10-year bond contracts. The 5-year is neutral.

For Tuesday, the CzarCharts suggest that by only marginally recommending continued shorting. A more definitive signal occurs in the bond complex which is urging across-the-sector buys.

As I've often noted, it's interesting how the CzarCharts seem to go into hibernation mode following days that make trading too much of a gamble anyway. If someone were to put a gun to my head, I'd say the stock indices are more likely to follow their daily indicators rather than the seasonals on Thursday. (In other words, I expect a rally, but again, my gut opinions aren't worth much). Even if the environment is dire beyond belief, you're still going to get your periodic counter-trend over-the-top rallies. (You actually saw one intraday on Wednesday when the Dow gained 200 points off its initial lows before fading again in a 300 point capitulation). May you live in interesting times...(and hopefully, survive them)....
Quite interesting is the shift from 0 +2 + 2 on 30Y-10Y-5Y to 0 -2 -2.... a dramatic move... ! Any further comment on this scenario for Tsy complex?
