  4. Art's futures biases for Sep 25.

    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.

    I know an S&P trader who has the following message taped on his computer screen: “Don’t be short the indexes at the end of the month.” He is certainly not wrong about the upside rollover bias, which is the crux of my day-of month indicator in the calendar box.

    On the other hand, during this confounding September of un-seasonal market strength, surprise has been the rule rather than the exception. I will be shorting the indexes tomorrow based on the near-unanimous bearish signals across the board. My preferred arena will probably be the S&Ps

  10. I'm confused by this. Rollover only happens each quarter (and has already happened on 9/15), expiration happens on the 3rd Friday of the month. Neither of these would account for an upside bias at the end of the month.

    What upside rollover bias are you referring to?
