Chart Partners

Chart Partners objective is to discover medium-term cycle turns and profit opportunities before they unfold, within structural trends while preserving capital with clear degrees of risk. We have real return ideas. 

Markets are dynamic and trading systems must reflect this. It is crucial to determine underlying correlations and lead-lag relationships within global markets and the impact on linked instruments. Our weekly Chartonics product gives you short-term trading strategies that can be applied within the medium and longer term macro trends that are mapped out in our strategy updates. 

Our methodology fuses global market variables and isolates drivers in trends. We specialize in FX, index trade in NY and Asia with a focus on Asian stocks. 

Technical Analysis

<div>Markets are now overdone on a short term basis and once again kissing the topside of the SPX rising wedge where we are selling some risk and layering into protection.</div><div>
<br>Bull momentum call to push toward the rising resistance at the top of the wedge near 2,930 but with time translation would shift right/up toward 3,940. Bet is to lock in some long gains into this zone and put on a few shorts for a minor pullback ahead of a fresh rally into late Feb. The directional bet is to buy equities on weakness (given SPX 3,800 holds) for a bigger cycle peak due in late Feb. Late Feb peak would usher in a harder corrective cycle into late March but let's see how the late Feb timeline unfolds first.</div><div></div><div>Spaces to short are outlined with entry, stops and PT's. We like buying our bull group again on a pullback into late February.</div>
