Question #4. What procedures do you use for trade management? (e.g. position size, stops, scaling in or out, etc.)

• NONE WORK so I am wondering if I will ever use them again
• Position then scaling
• 10% buys for each position, not predicting bottom
• atm for long term investing its scaling in.
• protective puts
• don t trade anymore
• Today usually 20% maximum into the market at a time as volatility rules market size. If there’s great buying, i’ll go full in and full out. Scaling is something I am considering.
• Position size in percent of amount trading.
• buy puts on good companies when I feel strongly the market will go down
• Raising cash as bottom not in yet
• All of the above.
• trending before mid-afternoon and late afternoon.
• Any.I am going only to clear trades.
• Position size, ATR trailing stops
• Position size, scaling in, still holding lots of cash
• …./
• I’m still working small, and not often at the moment. // The swings are very dramatic for this newer trader.

Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?

• Very grateful for this platform and the opportunity to learn and speak, thank you. I believe Prime Minister of Canada Mr. Justin Trudeau and the President of United States of America Mr. Donald Trump are doing a great job, outstanding in their respective posts given the current situation! I will add here Mr. Trump is the best American leader and the USA Economy was robust leading the world until this China Flue hit. This is a war and Mr. Trump will lead us out of it, “Mr. Trump shines of light” and will lead us all to victory and push the economy back to its feet! God Bless AMERICA and God Bless CANADA !!!
• even the chinese do not have the border and reverse border rules down correctlyso they may will get another spike.
• Need to start by investing in companies that can successfully run virtually. Some of Big Tech will be winners depending on their business model
• …now…we are suffer is to know the barrier that shuts each of as away…./ no jobs/ no treatment/ support is to late/ and too many ” WILD” greed people …..

Responses are mostly unedited, but some have been reformatted slightly for to make them easier to read. Some irrelevant responses (e.g. “none”), or anything obviously fake, or copy and pasted responses have been omitted. All-caps responses have been changed to all lowercase. All responses for each week, unedited, are available in the raw data spreadsheets at TimingResearch.com/data.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• We are now down pretty far.
• Bounce !!
• stability
• Market is due for a rebound.
• Charts
• Interest Rate Cut
• dead cat bounce

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• Could go either way here Big money flowed back into the Market Friday and thats building a bottom
• anything can happen now but don’t care big money flowed right back into the market on Friday why/ because Thursday was capitulation
• Business shut down. Reduce commerce, adversity not totally accounted for.
• Corona fall will continue
• companies are shutting down with the virus
• greater outbreak of coronavirus
• Friday’s late rally is making things look rosy for the S&P for now, but it’s probably counter-trend. Fed actions won’t slow the virus or provide test kits. Possibly dismal corporate earnings reports next month are not priced in to this market.
• China Flue, its effects and residual impacts. I believe given the fact where we are and what were faced with, we will trend lower and move sideways in general terms, consolidation. This is true, and really depends on if people self isolate until this passes, partially in all effected countries. This I believe will transpire as we come to the realization we have to put on our “big boy pants” and save the market, these small, medium and large cap companies require our support. What do I mean by this, we must stop shorting everything and help these companies. Yes, the market may drift lower, however its up to us traders to “float the boat”. What was interesting is these bio-tech companies who want to test people for the china flue or other companies R&D creating vaccinations everyone pulled out on later in the week. Why?? Reverse the thought process and we will help these companies. Like the United States President Mr. Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mr. Justin Trudeau and other leaders are doing with the financial packages to help, we as traders must do our part as well. STOP SHORTING and help stabilize the markets!!
• Corona virus is still growing in the US
• Margin calls will cause more selling, the Fed actions will not be strong enough to overcome the markets’ skepticism.
• Not sure how anyone could be going LONG at this point … just too much unknown unknowns out there. Once there is containment, or a vaccine, or travel bans lifted why would anyone be going LONG?
• There is no support right now to hold it
• Expect 1 – 2 days higher before turning lower for the week. This is a bear trend, so any positive movement is only going to be a retracement.
• Continuation of Virus driven trend
• there are more bad news to come and more next next week option exp on Fri.
• The virus is killing this market and the Federal Government is not helping
• Marriot emailed me that it is a world epidemic
• Fear is still in the markets

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• fears ease
• Friday last hour int0 cl0se
• Fridays close
• ready for a small bounce then down further.
• Market appears to have retested the bottom this Friday (March 06, 2020) and recovered into closing. I believe the recent market correction was initiated due to the Corona-virus (Covid-19) becoming a global pandemic.
• The s&p can only go so low before a bounce back. Only an opinion…

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• China flue & loss of containment in Europe
• greetings from Coronavirus – impacting industry supply-chains, travel, airlines und many more …
• The fool US president, corona virus, and drain on consumer buying power resulting form excess concentration of wealth in too few hands.
• an increase in infections and deaths going to take the mkts lower
• In daily vision it’s poised for an upside, but if you look at a weekly chart it’s not poised for a weekly bounce. My 70% chance it’s because statistically it could bounce after having a retest of the lows, however the Corona Virus pandemic it’s still a risk and it’s not going away soon.
• While I was a little surprised with some of the upswings after the hudge down days, I am not yet convinced that the selling pacic of the corona virus is over. For this reason I voted down for the week but with a low conviction as we watch this new threat progress. Not to make light of this situation but I plan to stay calm and use this time as a buying oppertunity.
• Downward trend
• Last weel performance
• broke major trend line
• production slow down china, corona virus global,
• The Fed lowering rates did not cause a rally, so what will? COVID-19 will continue to spread, with travel & crowd gatherings curtailed more; supply chains in trouble. Economies to be hurt for an extended time.
• Virus fear
• covid is out of control
• collapse in oil prices
• corona
• The news is bad

• Great question! Something i must work on.
• puts
• buying put spreads
• selling premium

• I only do speculative trading, however just buying gold or implementing covered calls should be enough.
• We will sometime place a collar on a long term position. I will also trade an underlying that is non-correlated to my open positions and finally we do use inverse TFs from time to time.
• 0
• Buying puts.
• puts
• puts

• None

---

Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?

• Italy has a mortality rate of 26% of those severely infected. Since Italy is an 1st world country, how can China’s numbers be correct, given the fact it hit there 1st and China living conditions are inadequate compared to Italy? This is far worse than shown! Withn two months i believe they’ll be growing issues on every continent.
• Nobody I mean nobody can predict the stock market….only the cheaters.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• Bounce after record falls, maybe supported by the Fed.
• I think it correct higher from the positive close on friday.
• Friday reversal of oversold market
• History
• The decline was to fast and bearish sentiment increased
• Bounce off last week
• Too much fear last week. Fed will step in when needed.
• Bounce back time
• I think spy going to307.53
• Just a rebound after a huge, almost panic drop.
• The market is over sold and due to a rebound.

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• Viruses
• More Corona Virus worries
• The recent down move has had a lot of momentum, suggesting to me that there’s more downside left. Most market analysts are expecting a bounce; so the bounce could be of short duration, then sold into. The virus effects should significantly slow growth in China, with this growth effect likely spreading elsewhere.
• this did a lot of damage this week so yes we can bounce for 2-4 days and then come down again.
• High volatility at this level until a lower strong support will be formed. Virus’ news and fed interference will give the tempo. It’s interesting to see whether a V respond, like 2018, will be developed. I’m not so optimistic on that.
• coronavirus
• I believe the virus accelerated the great recession that will occur in less than 12 months due to the extraction of consumer wealth to the rich much like it did with Robber Barons of the 1920’s resulting in the depression of 1929. Next could be a pull back in the market decline. Therefore, I have only 55% chance the market will be up next week.
• Coronavirus
• CoronaVirus
• Mainly the China flue and some reporting on future effects thereof. One magnifier, the media! The last 2 months seems to be reporting of pullback, etc.. I noticed this intensified 2 weeks ago.. However, the flue is a issue for sure..
• People are starting to freak out about the Coronavirus and it’s growing numbers and fist death here in the US. Slowdown will hopefully be brief. Hoping for an early spring because it’s harder for viruses to continue.

---

Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?

• spy not finish going down look to 283.75
• So here we are today, if we are not closing the North American boarders for a month of so, then we must prepare. This I suggest the most effected will be the larger metro areas where people seem to be living on the streets. Large numbers such as 5,000 plus.. If we remember the New Orleans floods, there was 1 weeks notice and as we know the response and support critically failed in many ways, in the aftermath the state did the best it could and we all now this! Yes we know you did…. RE: This China flue, USA, Canada and other countries “NOW have time to prepare” the larger areas where the street masses are. If this fails, the hospitals will be over-run, and all will be taxed to beyond the fullest extent…. It is time for the provinces, states, city’s to prepare to help those who will be in need. Those who are wealthy, please step up and take the lead, you already know what to do, show yourself what you are :)
• what about TESLA, APPLE & FAANG-Stocks? All crashing down? How far??

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• Than you very much for this question yes it work like that due t to the way the market move
• FOMC
• qe
• LT Trend

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• I think the initial reaction to the corona virus was over quickly. Now we will enter a period of time where the market will be reacting to the economic effects of virus on the economy of several countries, especially the Chinese economy. While I try to remain optimistic, I have reserved some cash for bargain hunting, hedged some positions we wish to keep and allow more “room” in our put writing for a possible correction
• Many overbought stacks, some correction needed.
• markets are still wary of the impact of the corona virus
• vires
• People are concerned – that few in China will be allowed to go to their jobs in factories, producing their plastic pieces, etc. /// Maybe the world can apply some pressure to install scrubbers on factory smoke stacks, and implement humane work conditions for the masses. Pipe dreams allowed. /// Can the playing field ever be leveled?
• FED just won’t cut the virus is getting worse but there is nothing positive to boost the market when even low interest rates no longer prevent money from flowing out of the market / lower FED won’t lower and 30 year low on interest rates is no longer preventing an outflow of money from the markets
• China Flue totally out of control in China! Percentages getting higher, ratios moving up, not good!
• uncertainty
• Continue Friday’s reverse.
• corona sickness in more countries
• technicals + post Op-expiration
• Consolidation !
• The market is losing momentum. Virus headlines continue. More earnings reports to weigh on the market.
• With the coronavirus situation looking more like a pandemic, with numerous negative consequences, I can’t think of a reason to buy the market at this level. The S&P drop in July-Aug 2019 was 7%. The current drop has justification to be at least as much.
• Corona Virus finallt taking its toll

Question #4. What indicator influences your trading the most?

• I resist being an “indicator addict” but I do follow the common things we all know that industry people use such a 200 day M/A and shorter term M/A crossovers.
• bull/bear markets
• vwap
• interest rates dow
• MAs

• earnings
• interest rates
• Support/resistance levels, MACD.
• In order: Price Action, Candlestick, Volume, EMA.
• Volume.
• Price action.
• Japaneese Candlesticks in the United States
• China’s manipulated market imploding in on itself. World events move too fast now, the GOV can’t control things much longer. No one will be at the Olympics – not even the athletes. The world’s spotlight is shining brightly on a flawed model, and the will of the people & progress can’t be held behind a curtain much longer. Alright, political rant is over >> have a great week guys.
