Instructions for Tuesday: Again, if the Dow pushes above 13,390 and later falls below 13,320, we will go short looking for a couple of days of weakness. If we go short use a stop of 13,405.

Ideally we will see the Dow open a little lower and then trade higher pushing above 13,390. From there we should have a somewhat complete rally after the mid-August. lows. It is possible the high we are looking for is already in place. Seeing the Dow slice sharply below 13,300 will convey that message. Our instructions are set for a more decisive type move in that for our short instructions to go active we will need to see a rally first. At this point, a quick rally followed by a quick turn lower will leave a more convincing breakdown in place. If we do go short on Tuesday, the key will be in seeing the Dow break and close below 13,300.

This week is typically a slow one and it got off to a very slow start with Monday being the slowest full trading day of the year.

On Tuesday the minutes from the August 7 FOMC meeting will come out at 2:00 PM. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts to a summary of their discussion. Keep in mind that the meeting was held before they had to have an emergency meeting to cut the Discount Rate.

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.
