Saturday evening, time to look back for last two weeks of action.
As usual the "market weather backcast" contains the ichimoku analysis of 22 indices, futures and FOREX pairs. The linked charts contain all the details and neccessary context. Both charts and tables are generated automatically, at the moment the software is still work in progress. As such, I am not sure if it works 100% correctly, so if you see a mistake, would like to see an addition/change or simply give feedback: feel free to mail me at
Last two weeks triggered 15 signals in 10 different markets (out of 22 in the investment universe):
- Cocoa Futures (http://www.investing.com/commodities/us-cocoa)
- Cotton Futures (http://www.investing.com/commodities/us-cotton-no.2)
- Dow Jones Index (http://www.investing.com/indices/us-30)
- EUR/JPY (http://www.investing.com/currencies/eur-jpy)
- EUR/USD (http://www.investing.com/currencies/eur-usd)
- Nikkei (http://www.investing.com/indices/japan-ni225)
- Silver (http://www.investing.com/commodities/silver)
- US Soybeans Futures (http://www.investing.com/commodities/us-soybeans)
- S&P500 (http://www.investing.com/indices/us-spx-500)
- WTI (http://www.investing.com/commodities/crude-oil)
If you would like to play around with the system that is used to generate the signals and charts on this blog, you can do so! The latest version of my software, ichinscratchy v0.3.0, was released in December 2017. It´s free & open source, you can find it under http://spare-time-trading.de/en/trading-system. Work on the next version (that will be a maintenance release) is progressing nicely. In fact I started using a development snapshot of the upcoming v0.4.0 to do this weekly analysis/overview as this part is already stable enough. You can check out the development activities at gitlab: https://gitlab.com/werwurm/ichi_reloaded.However, there is no release date yet. It´s done when it´s done...

"All that is Gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost"
It´s always the right time to quote Tolkien, especially when things get interesting. As I speculated last couple of weeks, this IS an interesting autumn...let´s try not get lost.

"He´s dead Jim!"
Is he? Major Indices at the moment do not look like they want to continue their uptrends much more... but if the patient really is dead remains to be seen. We might get some interesting end-of-year volatility- on both sides. In hindsight everyone is smarter...

"Winter is coming."
Autumn definitely has arrived. One can tell by two observations: Oktoberfest has started in Munich, and I am using the more gloomy high contrast charts again. Nights are getting longer, days colder. Time to read a good book, drink old whisky and return to coding a trading system...

"[...] But remember to come back in September!"
Well, a lot of people believe in seasonality and try to get their edge from that. However, I wouldn´t exacly call the few signals of last weeks an autumn rally- YET. Maybe next week.

"There´s always a bigger fish."
This one is not only a good T-Shirt slogan, but also applies to trading. Are you really smarter and better equipped than your competitors? Are you on the right side of the Bell Curve (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution#Standard_deviation_and_coverage)?

"Vacation is ALWAYS 2 weeks too short"
After 4 weeks of hiatus, again a new weekly overview. Currently I am really busy with my mainjob, and still trying to come up with v0.4.0- this one is giving me a tough time since I am really digging in the deepest and most central parts of the program.

"Wanna have sun in the winter,
Wanna have snow in the summer"
It remains incredibly hot and dry back here in Germany, and markets seem to enter their siesta as well.
