Saving the big one for Monday?

We'll see once I get to review today as well as the weekly closing data over the weekend.

As Macbeth once observed:

Is that a head and shoulder I see before me,
The neckline with a bear flag? Come, let me trade thee
I have thee not and yet I see thee still
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To volume as to trend? Or art thou but
A pattern of the mind, a false creation...

Drawing a line to show a bounce or retrace is creative but is it really useful? You can pick any
retrace or bounce and say this is why the price went up or down. I would like to challenge you using a piece of paper to cover the future 5 min.,hourly, daily and etc. Can you really tell me the exact point to place a bet?
No---all you can tell is the price hit this point and responded-----after it happened.

Technical analysis is always just a tool and 50% will get it right or wrong.

News letters----waste of words. Always cover their analysis with---if this then that---but maybe this
will happen if we are wrong.

My theory-----Just place your bets !!!---you have a 50% chance of winning and no excuses if you lose.

With stops and money management, you may do better than most traders and gurus. You may go broke, but so do most traders.

I can't tell you where to place your bet, but I can tell you where I placed mine - at the 40/160 hourly crossover

My Sell is the top of the daily channel I'll draw or if the 40 moves back under the 160.

It may not sound like much of a system compared to others I've read on here, but it's worked really well for me.

O.K. my Fearless Forecast....

Upon further review, I'm upgrading my VST Sell signal that was triggered on June 6 to a ST Sell (1-3 days) as of Friday. My system might've missed the ST top by 1 day.

Below is one of my ST SPX timing charts. The market "usually" tops or bottoms within 1-3 sessions of my sell/buy signals. By all means, other indicators are used for confirmation.

There's no confirmation of an IT signal yet at this time.

CORRECTION: my VST Sell signal was on JULY 6 not June 6.

Just got done with my closing data. I know equity futures are rallying right now, but a VST SELL signal had been triggered today, which happened to be the expiration day of my prior IT BUY signal.
