So this is my absolute favorite Peter Framptom song. Video is awesome! Lyrics great too!! Got to see him in San Antonio back in mid 90s at La Semana Alegre, during Fiesta week. Outdoor stage. He put on a great show! He played great on guitar!!

charts

DWCPF index. (S fund)

Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index, XXWCPF Advanced Chart - (DJW) XXWCPF, Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index Stock Price - BigCharts.com

For S fund...The Bollinger bands were constricted but now bowing out...obviously showing downward direction, MACD is below its signal lime (I mean line..thinking margarita!!) heading downward as is the Slow Stochastic....I'm a little surprised the dead cat bounce wasn't a little better Today. Yes some news may have affected it today, but lots of fear out there. It may go further down. Will look for MACS slope to go upward or at least curve upwards and see a Lower Slow Stochastic before entry.... Preferably below 20. Reportedly, fears of recession. Regardless, about 10 days ago price hit that high resistance point, so if price meanders up and down would like it above midpoint before entry, but if it continues down will look for a bottom on upswing before midpoint on BBs.


SPX index. (C Fund)

S&P 500 Index, SPX Advanced Chart - (SNC) SPX, S&P 500 Index Stock Price - BigCharts.com

Same story as Sfund except it hit resistance last week at its highest point ever. Still think the S fund will have best growth in coming year. Talking heads sa ying that.

Nice charts, thanks.

Good article on markets ever seals and how to spot them, from Investopedia.

Market Reversals And How To Spot Them

I revised my strategy based on some of the info in the link in my last post. Revised the concept a bit to use a 7 day instead of 10 day---made the leap today. I definitely like the concept. I don't like the eggroll name though. Its a short moving average without the average. Very simple. I like it!!

Will have to read this later. Graphs are not showing up on this computer. Thanks Annie

Here's a really good article on determining which way the market is heading, courtesy of Investopedia.

Which Direction Is The Market Heading?

Very good article on the VIX (CBOE volatility index). Based on weighted average of options, puts and calls. Looks to be some measure of "in and out" of market option moves. Complex calculation but not necessary to compute as its already done and can be viewed on chart VIX

It typically moves in opposite direction of market prices, so it another great tool that is useful in figuring out where the market is headed short-term.

Need to incorporate it more into trade strategy.

Tracking Volatility: How The VIX Is Calculated (VXX,XIV,UVXY,VIXM)

Waiting for the "I" fund to start it's breakout run.

Just wanted to post this article on basic candle stick reading courtesy of Investopedia

Candlestick Charting: What Is It?

The clear, white or green candlestick body represents price action ended the day higher than previous day, and the opening price is reflected by the bottom left corner of the candle body with closing price indicated on the top right of candle body.

A dark or red candle stick body represents price action ended the day lower than the prior day, and the top left corner represents the opening price while the bottom right corner of the body represents the closing price.

The wicks that may or may not extend out from the candlestick body represent the intraday high and low prices.
