I think the rule goes somthing like this .....Whenever an widely follow index falls by 4% from the top it is a sell signal.....So, we are in a sell mode....

Thanks. A fast Google and here is the quick scoop. Its "good" 50% of the time, but apparently makes money.

Here is the VLE chart upon which the (weekly) system is based.

Technically, the signal is PREDICATED on the Value Line Arithmetic Index. However I've seen tests done on it using the Nasdaq 100 and other indexes also. I track the signal, a simple WEEKLY 4% stop-and-reverse, and it is on Sell again, as it was in February. EVERY SELL since 2002 has been a whipsawed luzing trade. TDM
