Overview
INSIIDE Track is a monthly newsletter that focuses on the bigger picture scenario in the markets and our world. INSIIDE Track incorporates cyclical, technical & fundamental analysis on financial & economic factors as well as geopolitical, natural & social influences. It is utilized by futures & options traders as well as equity & ETF traders, gold, silver & gold stock traders, oil hedgers and currency speculators… and a host of other investors interested in honing the timing of their entry and exits in the markets (and better assessing risk levels for those market positions).
Analysis
INSIIDE Track begins by reviewing the longer-term cycles and how they could affect the markets in the months & years to come. INSIIDE Track then shifts focus to the intermediate outlook (1 – 3 month and 3 – 6 month), incorporating subjective analysis (like cycles, Elliott Wave, Fibonacci & Gann analysis) with objective trading indicators (2 Close Reversals™, 2-Step Reversals™, MAC/MARC/AMACs™ , Double-Key™ & Turn-Key Reversals™, etc.) to provide a balanced and comprehensive perspective on the markets.
When applicable, trading strategies are provided for either/both long-term investors as well as intermediate traders. The goal of INSIIDE Track trading strategies is NOT to catch every move in the market, but rather to choose the perceived highest probability, lowest perceived risk trades based on a proprietary combination of indicators. These strategies are selectively chosen and represent a portion of the possible trades and action in each market.
As such, specific analysis does NOT always lead to corresponding ‘system trades’ if a proper entry signal – with prudent risk parameters – does not present itself. These trading strategies are aimed at traders who have learned to treat trading as a business… not simply as a source of excitement.
Just as most businesses focus on only a few opportunities or products at any given time (those deemed to be the best choice and with the highest profit-potential or market-appeal at that point in time), so, too, does our approach to trading select only those trades that are perceived to have the best potential.
The goal is not to overtrade, but to accurately trade!
Markets
INflation Markets / Stock Indexes / Interest Rates / U.S. Dollar / Energy Complex
As the acronym INSIIDE conveys, INSIIDE Track covers INflation Markets (Gold, Silver, Copper, Platinum, Palladium, Soybeans, Wheat, Corn, Sugar, Cotton, Coffee, Cattle, Hogs, Lumber and other special situation commodity markets), Stock Indices (DJIA, S+P 500 & Nasdaq 100 as well as many global indexes), Interest Rates markets (30-Year Bonds, 10-Year Notes and Eurodollars), the U.S. Dollar & foreign currencies (Dollar Index, Euro, Japanese Yen w/sporadic focus on British Pound, Canadian & Australian Dollars, etc.), and the Energy Complex (Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Heating Oil & Unleaded Gas).
Cycles
INSIIDE Track also examines the international and political arena from a cyclic perspective and covers cycles in earth disturbances (earthquakes, volcanoes & tsunamis), climate cycles (global warming & cooling, hurricanes & extreme storms) and sunspots – all of which have been shown to have a powerful influence on human emotional swings, including speculative & investment activity.
One example, in 1999 – mid-2001, involved Eric’s perpetual focus on – and projections for – war cycles to explode in August – October 2001 and dramatically impact the Middle East. (https://www.insiidetracktrading.com/cycle-of-time/) That analysis received much attention and ushered in a period of global instability – precipitated by the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
Another involved forecasts published in INSIIDE Track (and corresponding articles in major publications) throughout 2005 – 2010 – all focused on Middle East War Cycles converging in 2011. (https://www.insiidetracktrading.com/middle-east-cycles/) That analysis was perfectly fulfilled with the Arab Spring throughout the Middle East. These cycles will have ramifications for many years to come and are related to War Cycles that converge again in 2021!
What does an uncanny cycle reveal about 2020 – 2021? INSIIDE Track explains.
These cycles ultimately impact the markets and reveal prescient information well in advance of corresponding moves. A perfect example involves analysis published throughout 2011 – calling for a Major peak in Gold in August 2011 (https://www.insiidetracktrading.com/date-with-destiny/). That was due to an uncanny combination of long-term cycles and indicators and was fulfilled with the Aug./Sept. 2011 high in gold – at levels that have still not been retested.
However, Gold Bugs should not lost hope. In 2013 – 2015, INSIIDE Track detailed why precious metals should set a major, multi-year low in 2015 and experience the first surge – in a projected 3 – 5 year bull market – in 2016. (https://www.insiidetracktrading.com/40yc-the-golden-years/) Monthly & weekly cycles honed that analysis and pinpointed late-2015 as the time for a final low. It occurred in Dec. 2015!
More recently, related reports explained why metals would see a secondary low in Aug. – Nov. 2018 and enter a 1 – 2 year surge that could ultimately take them higher into late-2020/early-2021… in stages (https://www.insiidetracktrading.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2018-09-18-ITT-Bridge-Metals-Miners.pdf). As explained in those reports, the first stage would be a surge into late-Feb./early-Mar. 2019 and the second stage would be another surge into Aug. 2019 (https://www.insiidetracktrading.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2019-Gold-Currency-Wars.pdf).
However, the third and fourth stages could be the most dynamic and volatile – unfolding between a projected 3 – 6 month peak in late-Aug. ’19, key cycle lows in late-2019/early-2020, another cycle peak in March/April 2020… and then the most intriguing cycles of this entire advance.
