Eman93 4,750 posts msg #98274 - Ignore Eman93	12/28/2010 4:51:31 PM Could this be it???? is this the distribution phase????? The tax implications would be to sell all you losers in Dec and sell all your winners in JAN if you think they topped out... If the market looks like its rolling over may see a lot of selling first of the year??? buying puts locks in your profit.. need to check the max pain site. We have a signal though and VIX has stayed strong... protecting those gains into the new year...

I am thinking of combining this filter with the 401K filter (PORTFOLIO SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT USING RISK/REWARD RATIOS). If the VXX/SPY filter tells you to go long SPY, run the 401K and buy what that filter advises.

Eman93 4,750 posts msg #99452 - Ignore Eman93	3/2/2011 2:49:55 AM It back tested the break out,,, and the RSI has forecast a break down of the trend on the SPX. Also USD index is on major trend line on weekly chart.. will be interesting to see what happens to GLD and SLV if the dollar rallies. of course this is if the dollar bounces... the RSI has room to fall still before breaking its major lower trend line... The only way to really move vast sums of paper is in the currency markets...

blackthought 25 posts msg #99458 - Ignore blackthought	3/2/2011 4:18:27 PM i think money will continue to flow into gold & silver. judging by the action in the bond market, bonds are clearly not the "flight to safety" as it used to be. GLD & SLV are making new highs & going parabolic. Bernanke and Obama's reckless spending killed the bond market.
o-hoolix 2 posts msg #99557 - Ignore o-hoolix	3/9/2011 11:40:08 AM Kevin, First, thanks for sharing this! It has been the missing piece of many puzzles for me. Given the reliability of the VXX:SPY predictor for intermediate term bull and bear markets, I thought applying other bullish filters during the predicted bull periods and bearish filters during the predicted bear periods might be a good way of maximizing profits and minimizing risk. It also provides some protection during the swing periods, keeping you in best of breed instead of just the broader market. This appears to be highly effective. My challenge has been figuring out the right exit strategies for the filters I have in place. To use one of the simpler examples, I have an entry filter for a simple bullish cross of the MA30 with a close below the upper bollinger band(10). I am an experienced technical trader but am fairly new to the "programming" logic on SF. For backtesting purposes, I'm trying to set two exit triggers since I don't want to use simple stop profit and stop loss. One trigger is on a bearish cross of the MA30. This should give it room to run but jump ship on a reversal of my entry criteria. The other is an exit when the price has gone above the upper bollinger(20) and then retreated back below it. It is at the point of crossing back below bollinger(20) that I want the trigger to execute. Note: In the spirit of the VXX:SPY trend predictor, I am closing all positions at the end of the testing period due to a cross/shift. So the way I have the exit triggers written is: Trigger 1 (in place of stop loss): Price crossed MA(30) from above Trigger 2: Price crossed upper bollinger band(20) from below and price crossed upper bollinger band(20) from above Based on the backtesting results and the individual stock charts during the holding period, I am clearly not writing this correctly. What am I doing wrong? Or is it just a glitch in the way backtesting operates (buying and selling on on open or close)? Thanks, o-hoolix
