Isn't that the same signal as "don't sell, unless ..."? I think it means they're still bullish..... Indecision > same as > let my profits run or sell now and pay the tax man?

a group of candlesticks make a pattern.
The Sell-If signal means the potential exists for a bearish pattern to emerge only IF the following candle fits the pattern. This applies to a daily or weekly pattern.
There are lots of weekly, as well as daily, Sell-Ifs showing.
The candle patterns are a bit like mini fractals.

There is no fundamental analysis on this site. You won't find balance sheets, news, experts, comments, and gossip here, distractions that are conducive to manipulation and wrong interpretation. The aim is to create a truly objective system with no human interference at all (even from us). The system prevents interference of human emotions with trading decisions.

BUY-IF and SELL-IF are conditional pre-signals(alerts) generated on the basis of daily candlestick patterns. They are posted for the next day's trading. Traders should consider the signals as confirmed and place their orders only if the market action in the next day proves that the alert generating pattern is confirmed.

I've watched AmericanBull's trades on QQQQ, the buy points seem to be at intraday prices and at better prices than what would actually happen with price pattern confirmation, so the long term performance gains are misleading. Otherwise, it's something to consider including in a sentiment trading strategy.

It seems that they require intraday trades IF the pattern is confirmed (or looks like it will be).
Here is what they said about QLD Friday:

Our system posted a SELL CONFIRMED today. The previous BUY recommendation was issued on 09.24.2007 (4) days ago, when the stock price was 104.0300. Since then QLD has gained 3.80% .

SELL-IF is confirmed by a black candlestick with a lower open. The selling price is today's open ( 108.57 ) according to the Rules of Confirmation.

Bears are getting stronger. The market hesitated a bit, but finally confirmed the bearish pattern with a one day delay. It opened today with a gap-down and the day's activity resulted in a close lower than the open. This is a valid bearish confirmation.

We hope that you sold this stock . You should watch the downward gap in the opening, wait a bit, feel the bearish tendency of the market making sure that prices stay below the opening price and then sell your shares. Your benchmark was the opening price of the downward gap. A weakness in prices is implied as long as the prices stay below the benchmark.
