Hey Trader,


Stay Strong - Overcoming Temptation


In the challenging world of trading, it's easy to feel tempted to take shortcuts or engage in risky behavior, especially when the pressure is on.


It's essential to remember the wisdom of James 1:13: "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone."


This verse reminds us that temptation is a part of life, but it's our responsibility to resist it and stay true to our values. Just as God cannot be tempted by evil, we should strive to maintain our integrity and make decisions that align with our moral compass.


So, when faced with difficult choices in trading, take a moment to reflect on your principles and remember that true success comes from acting with integrity.


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will 

Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Mortgage Rates Hit Yearly Highs With Potential To Continue Rising


Mortgage rates are on the move again, hitting their highest level of the year. According to Mortgage News Daily, the average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage is now around 7.5%, marking the highest point since mid-November last year.


This rise in rates comes after a period of fluctuation. Rates peaked last October, causing a slowdown in home sales. However, they fell through mid-January before climbing again in February, driven by concerns about inflation.


Despite the uptick in rates, mortgage applications for home purchases rose by 5% last week compared to the previous week. However, demand is still down by 10% compared to the same time last year, even with rates now 70 basis points higher.



While the increase in supply may provide some relief, it's not enough to offset the impact of rising rates. Homes are selling faster than ever due to heightened competition in the market.


So, what does this mean for traders?


Recent economic data suggests rates are likely to remain elevated in the near future. This could impact housing market dynamics and potentially influence trading strategies.


Stay informed and keep an eye on how these rate changes affect market behavior.



S&P 500 Analysis for Friday: April 19, 2024


We're eyeing a key level at 5116.25, which could contain the strength of the session.


However, if we slip below it, we could be looking at a range between 5071.00 and 5038.00, which could hold up against selling pressure through the rest of the year.


Now, if we see a daily close below 5038.00, it could signal a deeper decline to around 4870.75 in the next 3 - 5 days, and possibly even 4634.50 over the next 3 - 5 weeks.


On the flip side, a bullish scenario could unfold if we close above 5116.25 on Friday.


This could pave the way for a move up to around 5227.25 in the next 3 - 5 days.


Such a move might attract further buying interest into the following week, potentially setting the stage for continued upside as we head into May.



Keep an eye on these levels as they could provide valuable insights for your strategy!


Happy Trading,

Speciale Analysis

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer Stock, Futures, Forex & Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk and it is not appropriate for everyone. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to speculate in the Stocks, Futures, Forex, 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 any securities.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone. Disclaimer: Futures, Options, and Currency trading all have large potential rewards, but they also have large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in these markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  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.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
