P-
It's probably too early too tell since the daily trend has had an upward bias and haven't been able to test it in a down market yet. In general though, it has been a helpful aid so far. It projected an upward bias into the 30th with a downwave projection into mid-month going forward, so we shall see. I'll post a chart later with intraday forecast using 3min bars vs. actual so you and others can judge for yourself.
Best,
MN

Depends: Did you trade it when your forecast came out?
I never could.

To a certain extent, yes, but not based solely on the forecast. The forecast did always cause me to think twice about shorting the market (it did cross my mind more than once ) since the mid-month low--other than intraday trades, I haven't been short overnight a single day the 2nd half of the month--is avoidance of destruction of wealth adding value?
Like you, I never could/would trade solely on a model, but when supported with add'l evidence....pulling the trigger is that much easier. Otoh, if other TA evidence outweighs what the forecast (subject to inversions) is suggesting, I have no problem fading it.

Here's DIA forecast for Sep:
Some other stuph to consider:
Here's mirror image foldback technique for the SPX:
Note we're sitting right at gann angle resistance, but trying to 'breakout' back above the 1x2 angle from the Oct'02 lows:
My cycle model projects a CIT circa tomorrow (many of the past dates called significant turns +/-) and a one way ticket into early Oct.
Finally, some interesting time confluences hit yesterday/today:
1.618[9/1/00H-3/19/02H] = 9/2/04
0.500[3/12/03L-3/5/04H] = 9/1/04
