4 Broken Charts Now 25% Worse than 2008 Crash
Welcome to Issue 084 of Masters in Trading Digest.
These are unprecedented times for the stock market.
The energy complex is a perfect example of volatility forcing lifelong relationships to break down.
Today we look at 3 charts to share just how RISKY these markets are, and then at the end, an offer for how we can help.
These are not normal times, and today’s MIT Digest provides perspective on the scope of market risks.
Let’s start by taking a look at the relative value movement that has taken place during 2022 in the Energy complex.
Check out the 20yr 1d chart, chopped up into yearly cycles.
The intention of the above chart is to share how volatile this sector has become relative to years before.
Spreads between Energy products have exploded in 2022 relative to other years.
Energy products vs the benchmark /ES too have moved up the most ever. Buying energy futures and selling /ES futures has been a massively profitable spread trade during 2022.
The next chart shows a basic spread between S&P 500 Futures and Oil Futures.
If you would have purchased 1 /ES Future 5 years ago (at the beginning of the chart), while also simultaneously selling 1/CL Futures contract (oil)…
We have great news because your trade would finally be at breakeven. (the numbers on the right side of the chart is the profit/loss of the trade)
The next chart shares just how much the S&P 500 Futures have moved relative to years before.
/ES outright is sitting at the lowest $ P/L of any year.
Even lower than the bottom of 2020.
The lowest level during the 2008 crash was around -36k (-720 /ES points). The 2020 low was -50k (-1000 /ES points). The low this year reached -56k (-1120 /ES points), and currently sits at -48k (-960 points).
Now we see the movement around the crash of 2008 and the years after.
These are unprecedented times, and the risks in the market are very real.
