There’s an old adage on the Street that the toughest fades are the best trades. “Fade,” in Wall Street parlance, refers to taking the other side of the prevalent price action, For instance, I faded (read: bought) the supply last Wednesday into S&P 1250, and yesterday faded (read: sold, or got short) the (low volume) rally into S&P 1300 (almost on the nose) with a tight stop on the other side of the 50-day moving average (S&P 1305).
