TRIN Indicator System Update – March 2009

The Emini closed down 11.75 points at 676 on Monday. However, the TRIN indicator shows there was underlying buying – the Better TRIN reading was +75 (positive numbers show buying). If you check out a volume chart, you'll see that the afternoon's decline was on low volume.

The Better TRIN Oscillator turned up today, our signal to take profits on a Short trade from 7 days ago. I must admit this trade felt pretty strange, shorting on the close after a strong down day. But that's often the way it is – the trades that feel wrong often work out best. The trade ended up making 76 points or $3,800 per contract traded.
