Final #VX Futures Spread for Friday, July 17, 2015

Today, at the Close, we rolled our spread to LONG August SHORT December VIX Futures.

Thoughts and #CL_F Levels for Friday, July 17, 2015


CLQ5 finally breaches below 51; now I will have an eye out for a potential shakeout just below 51 in order to think bullish which means CLQ5 must first get through and hold back above 50.90-51.50 zone to confirm a shake otherwise 49.80 then 48.50-47.75 zone will be potential lower targets.

Thoughts and #CL_F Levels for Thursday, July 16, 2015


The 51s support for CLQ5 remains key for swing Long potential; however current bias is still more on the neutral side while above 51s and below 53s but as I said earlier this week everyday day that goes by above 51 I favor the swing Long potential more and more.

If a breach and close below 51 I also think downside could be limited to 48.50-47.75 zone so my interest in Shorting CLQ5 will not come until higher levels.

#FXI Update Bias and Levels for Tuesday, July 14, 2015


Swing bias for #FXI is now Short against 43.75. Yesterday I did get a first entry for a new #FXI swing Short at the 43.20-43.75 target zone and the plan/strategy remains the same; scale into #FXI Puts within the zone and then out if above 43.75.

While below 43.75 the lower targets are at 41.85 then 40.90.

If stopped out just above 43.75 the next area to re-consider the Short is at 45.05-45.90 zone.

Thoughts and #CL_F Levels for Tuesday, July 14, 2015


CLQ5 swing bias remains at neutral while above 51s but definitely starting to favor a new swing Long trade more and more each day that goes by holding above 51. I did try to front run a Long entry yesterday against the 51.40 support level but my order was just missed.

Today I will look to do the same and scale into a Long within the 51.70-51.40 zone if reached and if so the first upside target is at 52.85 then at 53.30-53.50 zone.

A breach below 51.40 then if below 50.90 the 49.50-47.75 target zone will then be on the radar.
