Good Trading!
Back test it if you like using this chart below.... I use other indicators, but the trend overrules (price) everything else.

Is a whipsaw coming? Very possible, but for now the trend remains up on my daily chart....

Gamma Trading Signals

Gamma Trading Signals In The S&P 500
Oct. 17, 2019 2:48 PM ET|About: SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY)
As we head into an important monthly option expiration for the stock market this Friday, October 18th, we are pleased to announce the re-launch of our Seeking Alpha Marketplace service, now entitled: Gamma Trading Signals.
If you are like me, when you hear the word “gamma,” you might think of gamma radiation, Bruce Banner and the Incredible Hulk. This analogy is meaningful. Our price signals show that when there are spikes in gamma, extreme price moves can occur. When gamma spikes out of range , the options market can act like the Hulk, creating havoc and volatility on the underlying market.
Options Sentiment and Gamma Signals
Stock market "gamma" has earned increasing attention from the financial media. CNBC, Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal and Zerohedge all regularly talk about market gamma and its impact on market risk. While the mainstream financial media talks about gamma, there is never anything actionable about the information. Gamma signals are usually published by the mainstream media ipso facto – after the fact. Our service is one of the few services that publish gamma trading signals for a retail audience.
Options Sentiment Report
Our daily Options Sentiment Report highlights financial risk in markets that have significant volume and open interest in the options market. Since many option expirations have hundreds of millions of dollars at stake on a specific timestamp, our report can be best viewed a “smart money” indicator.
There are several trading signals from our daily report which are annotated in the chart below. The most common price signal – which applies to all of the markets we cover – is the potential for mean reversion and/or compression between market price and the level of our calculated Gamma Neutral.
The purple vertical lines on my chart below are Options Expiration dates. (Please note the VIX) The current Options Sentiment and Gamma Signals indicated the odds for IWM moving up this week were tradeable.... It looks like next week we might see some moves coming... My VXX stop still hasn't been tagged, but getting close.... ( I'm still long VXX) I sometimes uses small positions as a hedge for VXF.... No shorting allowed at Vanguard.

Good Trading!

Re: Bear Cave 2 (Bull Allowed)
The Miners....
I have Tuesday as being day 22, which places the Miners in the early part of its timing band for a daily cycle low. A swing low formed on Thursday which signals that Tuesday marked the daily cycle low.
Since the daily cycle count is not clear we will look at the weekly chart.
The weekly chart clearly shows us that the Miners peaked on week 18 then formed a weekly swing high on week 19. The Miners went on to print their lowest point this week, which is week 24. That places the Miners in their timing band for an intermediate cycle low. A weekly swing low accompanied by a break above the declining weekly trend line would have us label week 24 as the ICL. And a break above the Multi Year Resistance level would indicate a resumption of the Miner bull market.

Where the Money Goes in a Market Crash
Published October 18, 2019 - 7:30 AM
The S&P 500 peaked in late July.
The S&P 500 peaked in late July.
Since then, it has been stuck in a wide trading range between about 2850 on the downside and 3020 on the upside. As we approach the upper end of that trading range, and as technical conditions start to move into overbought territory, the odds of a significant decline increase.
That decline could start any day.
In fact, several months ago, I marked October 21 as a probable start date for that decline…
The next decline phase is likely to be a “rotational” bear market. Money is going to come out of the market’s best-performing names – those momentum stocks with wildly expensive valuations – and rotate into the beaten-down “value” names that have done nothing all year.
In other words, the best-performing stocks of 2019 are going to get hit, and this year’s worst stocks are going to outperform everything else…
Even though the S&P 500 is trading near its all-time highest level ever, many stocks and many sectors have already been through their own bear markets. Many retail stocks, for example, are down 50% or more in 2019. They’re trading at decade-low valuations. Many oil and gas stocks are in the same boat.
https://www.jeffclarktrader.com/
My LT data chart - Please note - FCG, XES, OIH..... Looking to buy some FCG, but all could make a 20% or higher run soon..... Some are already on a buy signal... XES went 10 days above the 10 DMA ( a buy signal for me) and then 17 days below and a lower low.... Back above the 10 DMA again, but I'm going to try FCG.
Good Trading!
Look how FCG and XES moved up in 2007/2008 before the Bear Market really got going. Everything got sold off later.... However, look at the spike and will it be different this time.... Is the rotation getting closer?
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%2...80&a=694004329
I don't know what will happen this time, I'm just pointing out what happened the last time - since the point here is a rotation in to value stocks about to happen? We shall see..... No matter what happens I trade the trend, and it overrules everything else.... (price no matter what the volume)
There is only one side to the market, and that’s the right side. Jesse L. Livermore

The VIX smashers.....
Yes, you are reading that correctly, the current level of uncertainty is worse than during the collapse of the Soviet Union, the aftermath of 9/11, the great financial crisis around Lehman's bankruptcy, and the Brexit referendum vote.
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/...lehman-sept-11
For some context what this means in terms of market risk, on a smoothed basis, this level of uncertainty filtering through to business uncertainty and thus equity risk, would imply a VIX that is well over 50 points higher than its current complacent level...
Re: Bear Cave 2 (Bull Allowed)
Day 6 of the buy signal and the trend remains up... Now what?
Daily Data charts..... I can see why many traders remain Bullish based on my daily charts..... However, the VIX looks like it might be ready for a move.... Note the OPTX data and the VIX..... ( OPTX = Vertical purple lines) For now the trend remains up, and one should not fight the price..... The Fed is in the game again.....
Is the next higher low for the VIX completing? Don't know.....but I will be watching..... Bottom Line - The VXF trend remains up! VXF has a ugly little black candle on the daily chart. VXF still has a ways to go for new all time highs, but I trade what I see and it continues to move up.....

I find it amusing that the stock market promoters love to point at "resilience" because the SPX hovers near 3k. The charts of the NYSE composite and the Russell 2000 index are far from bullish, maybe that's why nobody talks about them!

Nobel Laureate Sees 'Bubbles Everywhere'
Quote:
When Nobel Laureate and "Irrational Exuberance" author Robert Shiller says he sees bubbles in the financial markets — you'd better listen up. He literally wrote the book on stock market crashes and bubbles after all.
"I see a bubbles everywhere," Shiller, economics professor at Yale University and author of just-published "Narrative Economics" told investors gathered in Los Angeles Wednesday. "There's no place to go. You just have to ride it out. You invest even though you expect the price to decline." Shiller famously predicted the 2000 stock market crash and the 2007 crash of the housing market.
A good article- scares me upright in my seat. He's got some good points to ponder. Investors Business Daily article.

Re: Bear Cave 2 (Bull Allowed)
The SPY/IWM historical monthly tracking data ..... The good news is it's back above the 20 MA..... The bad news is the divergence continues..... The Fed be pumping money into the markets again, so it could change things. We shall see..... None of it matters to me since I trade the daily trend, and it remains up. Monday will be day 12 above the 10 DMA.
