The relationship between the two time series is often shifted by a few weeks and can even temporarily get inverted for a very short period of time. All Analogs will fail at some point, but we shall look to them as goalposts till the relationship between current price action and previous period's price action is broken. Here are couple examples of recent Analogs: SPX 2015  SPX 2016

Dual CI Indicator
The Dual CI (DCI) study can be used to look for non-conforming bullish and bearish divergences. Because the inputs of the DCI indicator are user-definable, the user can manipulate and / or optimize it for different markets and / or different bar intervals. A divergence occurs when a price revisits a recent channel breakout high or breakdown low while the accompanying indicator fails to do so. Market technicians call it a non-confirmation.

ETF
Exchange Traded Fund is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks. An ETF holds assets such as stocks or bonds and trades at approximately the same price as the net asset value of its underlying assets over the course of the trading day. Most ETFs track an index, such as the S&P 500 or MSCI EAFE. ETFs may be attractive as investments because of their low costs, tax efficiency, and stock-like features. By owning an ETF, you get the diversification of an index fund as well as the ability to sell short, buy on margin and purchase as little as one share. Another advantage is that the expense ratios for most ETFs are lower than those of the average mutual fund. When buying and selling ETFs, you have to pay the same commission to your broker that you'd pay on any regular order.

Fair Value
Fair Value is the theoretical value at any given time, that�an equity index futures front month contract, i.e., ES,�should trade above�its underlying cash�index, i.e., SPX, due to the time value of money.� Intraday, its value may change by a small amount. Four times a year, on Equity Index Futures Expiration Day, Fair Value, by definition is zero.� That is why roll to new contract approximately a week earlier.

If the actual value, i.e., $PREM, deviates from Fair Value�by a large percentage, it often triggers BUY or SELL Program Trades by big market participants.� We continuously compute Fair Value for both ES & NQ futures, in real-time, as inputs, among other internals, for a proprietary Excel worksheet running in both AWACS and Hawkeye.

Hawkeye
Hawkeye is nickname of Fari's second souped-up Server-PC workstation, custom-made by HPQ, and located at our Chicago office (HA HQ). Hawkeye acts as the primary backup for our coveted AWACS Server-PC to provide real-time vector direction for bogies (live high-value [price] targets for high-beta stocks or futures trades). Much like our AWACS, Hawkeye features an all algorithm-driven high-speed-optimized code for NYSE BUY/SELL Programs Trading & an adaptive BLOCK TRADE Detection Protocol for ES & NQ Futures and large MarketCap stocks. This PC is named after E-2D Hawkeye Aircraft.

High / Low TICK Readings
Very HIGH ( > +1000) or Very LOW ( < -1000) TICK Readings often mark the exhaustion point in an intraday move, in normal markets. Be ready to modify your short-term position (or sentiment) by going flat or reversing. In very bullish or bearish markets, these levels are automatically modified by our AWACS and Hawkeye Server-PC workstations.

HunterKillerSub
A Hunter Killer Sub, is a Seawolf class nuclear-powered fast attack submarine (SSN) in service with the United States Navy. The class was the intended successor to the Los Angeles class, ordered at the end of the Cold War in 1989. At one time, an intended fleet of 29 submarines was to be built over a ten-year period, later reduced to twelve submarines. The end of the Cold War and budget constraints led to the cancellation in 1995 of any further additions to the fleet, leaving the Seawolf class limited to just three boats. Seawolfs look for and hunt down Akula and Typhoon Subs. Seawolfs have supported JSOC Ops in certain theaters for delivery and extraction of SEAL Team 6.

MA
MA�stands for moving average.� We use simple MAs.

PPT
Plunge Protection Team aka the "President's Working Group on Financial Markets" was established by law in 1988 to buy the markets should declines get out of control.   It is suspected by many market watchers that PPT has become far more interventionist than was originally intended under the law.   There are no minutes of meetings, no recorded phone conversations, no reports of activities, no announcements of intentions.   It is a secret group including the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Head of the SEC, and their surrogates which include some of the large Wall Street firms.   The original objective was to prevent disastrous market crashes.   Lately it seems, they buy the markets when they decide the markets need to be bought, including the equity markets.   Their main resource is the money the Fed prints.   The money is injected into markets via the New York Fed's Repo desk, which easily shows up in the M-3 numbers, warning intervention was near.   As of April 2006, M-3 is no longer reported.

Sausage Day
Seventy percent (70%) of the time, markets are NOT trending and they are range bound. In those days, the retail traders do not make money. Rather, they feed the Grinders (sausage makers): pit traders, prop shops, market makers, etc. And of course, the brokers are smiling all day. The other thirty percent (30%) of the time, in time-honored words of Gen George Patton, we shall skin them.

In trading, when we say "GOOG is at +2 Sigma," it means Google is trading at 2 standard deviation above its mean, hereinafter its 20 day moving average (i.e., it is at Upper Bollinger Band). As avid students of volatility, we monitor prices using +3, +2, +1, -1, -2 and -3 Sigma Channels. This method tells us how "stretched" the prices are. A good long trade normally is when prices move between +1 and +2 Sigma Channels. Conversely, a good short trade normally is when prices move between -1 and -2 Sigma Channels.

Anything beyond +/- 3 sigma channel is an outlier event. READ MORE

TF

Volunteers
Volunteers, aka the V Corps, are those fairly new to trading high-leveraged derivative positions, and usually, trading in an under-capitalized account. They typically get in too late into the trade -- long or short, that is not the issue -- and, as you guess it correctly, get trapped at the price extremes. They then resort to praying/wishful thinking, for their position to come back, instead of, taking immediate evasive actions. You can spot them from their emotional comments on Twitter Streams and/or their smell [of their diapers].

In Q2 2009, WLSN doubled his prices, stopped accepting US Dollars, and his menu was priced in Euros only. LOL. In early December 2009, after the Dubai Debt Crisis (circa Thanksgiving), WLSN started accepting Chinese Yuans, in addition to Euros. And, since early January 2010, he began accepting US Dollars again. Frankly, we think his next move is to accept a basket of currencies for his over-the-top ethnic soups, much like the DX. In June 2010, he began accepting assayed gold coins. We surmise that he was a hedge fund manager before the 2008 financial melt-down. WLSN's exact GPS location is classified, courtesy of NSA special covert ops directorate. WLSN should not to be confused with Al Yeganeh's The Original SoupMan Soups. They do not have a store in Chicago.

Zulu Time (UTC, GMT)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is one of several closely related successors to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) better known to aviators and sailors as "Zulu."
