GOOSE2,

Signal and trade management are two different issues. You could trade it in a multitude of ways. What the buy signal says is, before the prior swing low on the hourly is violated, there will be a substantial upmove. My last hourly signal 2 days back was good for 30 points. Generally these signals are good for anywhere between 10-30 points.

This particular signal is still valid in that the hourly swing lows (1449) has not been violated. One could have gone long at 1460 and taken profits at 1469. Or one could have gone long at 1460 and stayed put. Or one could have gone long on a pullabck to 1452. It depends on how much of leverage you are using and how much room you would want to give. I generally use 6-8 point stops.

And BTW, these combo signals are pretty powerful signals, which generates huge moves. I would be surprised if this signals fails. That would only mean this market is extremely weak. We'll see...

mdwllc, If you are short QID, does that mean you are long? If so, do you figure that QID in reverse reacts better than the ultra long ETFs? Thanks for sharing Nav. It looks like a go to me too.

I went out to lunch and got long 1/2, then the short-term trend turned down and I got stopped. Now I wait for the next upturn. It looks like it's gathering energy. If they don't fall apart, I suspect the short-covering to begin soon. Mark

NAV..15 min and 60 min SPY on sells ditto for XLF XLE OIH both have near and longer-term intraday d/t lines above current price this could all change quickly and monitoring 3min for early alert, tho the 13min is what i am most helping me sit tight for now
