Trading the Stats: Week 8

Rate this Entry
___
It was a great week 7 for the markets, with SPX/W4500/AGG closing up. With the exception of AGG, for week 8 we hit a period of statistical weakness for the quarter. In the short-term, there is a battle from 1902-1930.
__The Bears need to break below 1902's tweezers bottom to begin filling the open gaps at 1895.77 & 1864.73
__The Bulls, need to break above 1930 and make a run for the previous 1940 double top
__We also have a short-term inverted Cup & Handle type pattern to consider

JTH-ESD (Evolving Statistical Data): ESD is currently in the G-Fund, is -.47% MTD and -5.40% YTD.
__13 Feb 2016: The performance trend between SPX vs. W4500 continues, small caps are (and have been) under performing large caps. ESD is scheduled to make an IFT and will be in the G-Fund this Wednesday. Based on my data, I'm hesitant to make this move, so I may delay this signal.
__17 Feb 2016: Delayed by 1 day, ESD moved into the G-Fund, with current conditions, I'll look to move into the S-Fund, setting up for March where the best combo starts in the S-Fund.

___
JTH-ALPAFS (Advanced Point & Figure System): ALPAFS is currently in the C-Fund, is -.13% MTD and -2.88% YTD.
__02 Feb 2016: The markets begin to break down, SPX signals a Triple Bottom Breakdown with NDX signaling a Double Bottom Breakdown.
__03 Feb 2016: W4500 follows the downslide with a Bullish Signal Reversed. It was at this point I moved the system into the G-Fund before the IFT deadline.
__13 Feb 2016: This week, SPX tested the previous lows, forming a Double Bottom, then retracing more than half the previous downwave, thus signaling a Low Pole Reversal.

__16 Feb 2016: Entered the C-Fund. SPX/W4500 have higher highs, but haven't established an uptrend. TRAN/NDX are in an uptrend, which factored into my decision.

___
For myself, I’m currently jailed in the G-Fund, up 4.00% MTD and down -5.05% YTD
This marks the first time this year where all 3 systems are outperforming the CSI funds. I was fortunate to time the Feb bottom, hitch a 3-day 5.42% ride, then bail out, but there's still much work to be done, and many more short-term wins that need to be racked up before the year is over.
