Instructions for Wednesday: With the Dow having corrected over 200 points Tuesday, we must allow a day for prices to consolidate and allow a more attractive entry point.

Coming into Tuesday we were looking for the Dow to pull back and thoroughly test support. The action was expected to complete a corrective move that has been underway for almost a week and a half. However, an afternoon reaction to comments from Country Wide Financial spooked the market and suddenly the deluge was on. The Dow pulled back below 13,800, a key level we were watching, but it never rallied back.

Tuesday was a rare 2% down day for the S&P 500, and unfortunately, we should expect to see more of them in the months ahead as it is clear the market is returning to a more normal / typical level of volatility. But at the end of the day, the market has become oversold and we are alert for a bottom to develop near-term.

Dow heavyweight BA reports earnings before Wednesday's open with MMM and XOM set to report on Thursday morning. At that point over two thirds of the Dow will have reported earnings and we will be able to put the earnings wild card somewhat behind us.

The Dow Double Diamond system was designed for trading the Dow Diamonds (symbol DIA). Some investors may choose to use the system with Dow or Dow Diamond futures or even options. Futures and options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures or options. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this web site. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Performance results are hypothetical. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
