The picture below shows the daily corn chart using the symbol ZC. On this chart I have added the delta indicator. This indicator is based on the book Delta Phenomenon. The MarketWarrior software does not calculate the Delta count; it has a delta layout designer which allows users to work out their own count. Working out a Delta count usually takes 30 to 60 minutes.

The picture below shows my personal delta count that I developed for the corn market. This count has several high probability turning points. One of the high probability count numbers is #6. The #6 point is the next point that will occur. The #5 point just occurred on the first trading day of 2012 and the #6 point will occur in late January. We will be watching the corn market as it approaches this time period.

One of my favorite forecasting tools is the Horoscope Index. Unfortunately this MarketWarrior indicator often does not give a signal for long periods of time.

The chart below is the daily chart for British Petroleum (BP). This  Horoscope Index for BP has not given a change in trend signal for the past five months. There is now a change in trend signal being given for the middle of January 2012. This occurs when the Horoscope index moves above the upper boundary in the indicator. I have marked this with a vertical line and the letter A. After this forecast has worked itself out by early February 2012, I will post a forecast review and update.

For quite a few years now, I have been pointing out that eclipses accurately find turning points in British Petroleum (BP). Well, this has happened again. Eclipses occur in pairs every few months and one of the pair almost always lines up with a turning point in BP.

The chart below is a daily chart for BP. On this chart I have added the eclipse. Notice that the eclipse marked by a red dot is right on an island reversal bottom. The market gapped down to this eclipse and then gapped back up. This was a very nice example an a turning point occurring on an eclipse date. If you trade BP make sure you watch these dates.

Forecasting Daily S&P500 Index with Jupiter and Saturn Aspect

Here is the latest update for our most accurate forecasting method for the daily S&P500 index.

This is the custom Jupiter Saturn aspect. I will not review all the details of the custom aspect because we have posted the details before. You can read the previous posts discussing this method to learn more. The chart below shows the daily S&P500 and the custom Jupiter / Saturn aspect applied to the chart. This aspect forecasts a turning point approximately every 4.5 months. These forecast turning points usually turn out to be bottoms. This forecasting method has proven to be so accurate that traders who own MarketWarrior are reporting to us that they are using these forecast dates to add money to their retirement accounts. These forecast dates almost always allow MarketWarrior owners an opportunity to buy into a market bottom for their long-term buy and hold accounts.

On the chart below you can see the forecast bottoms at points A and B. If you own MarketWarrior you can check the next Jupiter Saturn aspect date. If you do not have the custom aspect indicator setup in your version of MarketWarrior email us and we will send you the indicator settings.

Silver Forecast Follow Up

This post is a follow-up to the silver forecast on January 5, 2012, which forecast the 60 minute silver chart for January 6, 2012 silver.

The first chart below shows the 60 minute chart covering the forecast period of January 6, 2012. On this chart I have added a black zig-zag arrow. This arrow is the same arrow that was shown on the forecast in the January 5, 2012 post. You can see the forecast arrow shows that the trend for January 6, 2012 was forecast as down.

This forecast was made using the MarketWarrior indicator Swing Projector which updates each time a new bar completes. Next we will look at the Swing Projector indicator at the end of January 6, 2012.

The second chart below shows the Swing Projector at the end of Friday January 6, 2012. You can see the indicator now forecasts a bottom identified by the Blue triangle with the capital B inside. Then a rally to the Blue triangle with the T inside. The exact time of this bottom – top sequence will be slightly different from what you see in the second picture because the Silver symbol YI trades on Sunday. This will cause the forecast to make an adjustment when trading starts Sunday night.

S&P500 mini Forecast Follow up

Here is the follow-up blog for the forecast of the 20 minute S&P500 mini for January 6, 2012.

In the previous post made on January 5, 2012,  I forecast a turning point at the delta #1 point seen on the chart below during the day January 6, 2012. The chart below shows the short-term delta count that I have developed for the S&P500 mini. The MarketWarrior software does not calculate Delta counts; they must be calculated by hand. This usually takes 30 to 60 minutes of research. The #1 delta count usually aligns with the largest turning point of the day. On the chart below, the #1 points has aligned with a market bottom. The delta #1 count fell from a top down into the #1 point. This fall into the Delta #1 point was the largest move of the day for January 6, 2012. If you trade the S&P500 mini, you should watch the next #1 delta point when it occurs.

Here is a chart that shows the 60 minute mini gold futures contract. On this chart I have added the MarketWarrior indicator Square of Nine Chapter 2. This indicator draws support and resistance price lines based on the prices which fall on the diagonal cross and cardinal cross on the Square of Nine. On the picture below, I have added an arrow labeled A which marks a bottom on December 29, 2011 which fell right on top the support lines from the 225 degree angle from the diagonal cross on the Square of Nine. The price on this angle was 1521. This Square of Nine method has been identifying the final swing tops and bottom in gold for the last several years.

Forecasting S&P500 mini 20 minute chart

In this post I will discuss a forecast for S&P500 mini contract for June 6, 2012 on the 20 minute chart. In this forecast I will use the short term delta indicator. This is based on the technique in the book Delta Phenomenon. The delta count used here is my personal delta count which I developed. We do not sell delta counts but working out your own delta count for any market only takes about 30 to 60 minutes of research. My delta count for the 20 minute S&P500 mini has a #1 pivot between the green and red lines. This can be seen on the first chart below which shows a previous #1 point.

The second chart shows that a #1 point occurs on June 6. I have manually added a green box marking a time window where I would expect a change in trend to occur on this 20 minute chart. I will review this forecast in a few days.

This post will discuss a forecast for the 60 minute silver chart for January 6, 2012. The picture below shows the MarketWarrior indicator named Swing Projector. This indicator projects into the future a series of swing tops and bottoms. The small circle with a t or a b mark small swing top and bottom projections. The triangles with a capital T and B represent the larger swing turning point projections. The yellow lines are the projected price levels. The picture below shows the mini silver futures contract symbol YIH2. I have manually added a red zig-zag arrow that shows the expected path of the silver price for June 6. The silver market should make a top early in the day and then should make a zig-zag move down to the point marked by the large triangle with a B inside. I expect the bottom to be made on one of the price levels identified by the yellow lines. I would like to see these tops and bottoms lines up with overbought and oversold momentum. We will review this forecast in a few days.
