I've reworked this one...it's basically an "over spec" indicator.....TWT

On the indicator below you can see that readings at about 3 signal trend change is approaching or arrived. Those high spikes of 5 are actually much more rare than this time frame makes them appear.
The last couple of days readings have become more extreme (the market less compacent) but we haven't hit a 3 yet. Looks to me like the bulls on the board don't have too much to worry about, yet. But this indicator doesn't give much of a warning sometimes, it can shoot right up to an extreme level in a day. But so far so good, I'm hoping my qqqq stop pushs past 12% tonight after my data download and my charts are updated.

yes, a big shift is underway...P/C #'s at the ISE and CBOE are showing big optimism yest/today...my best guess is a ST pullback this week, then an expiration rally...and nice drop after. I'm using SPY 150ish as a stop point to abandon that thinking and get more short. Don't have much on yet, short RIMM.
