A More Refined ROC Trading System


See prior post. Would be in cash now.

ROC Trading System

Ichimoku Cloud for Weekly VIX

Chris Whelan's Trend Lines


As per Mr. Whelan: The green and red lines on the charts are trend indicators, when they are both above the upper blue line there is an uptrend, when below the lower blue line a down trend and when the green and red lines are in between the blue lines the secuirity is range trading. My signal line is the white and purple, white over purple is a buy and the opposite is a sell. Signals are only used when the security is trending. I use trendlines and divergences to help confirm trading decisions. Low Volatility = Fuel, Pink Line on Bottom is Volatility; Only trade long or flat on weekly uptrends; Only trade short or flat on weekly downtrends; Trade Long or Short on Weekly Range Trading.

10 month SMA approach with filter bands



A derivative of Mebane Faber's 10 month SMA approach, with filter bands added to reduce whipsaws; BUY when the monthly. line exceeds the 2% upper band, SELL when the monthly line penetrates the 2% lower band. A la Ransom Reynolds from the Public Chart List on stockcharts.com. SPX hasn't penetrated the lower band "yet." The following ETFs have already penetrated the lower band: EFA (EAFE index), EEM (Emerging Markets Index), ILF (Latin American index), DBC (Commodities) and XLE (Energy).

AO Trading System Stats


Over the last 12 trading days the AO System signalled 52 Buy Signals for either TNA or TZA at the end of a 10 minute period (e.g. end of 1st period). If one was able to purchase shares at the onset of the next (2nd) period and sell them at either the high or low of that period, the mean yield per trade was 0.98%. Alternatively, if the shares was sold at the onset of the following time period (3rd period), the mean yield per trade was only 0.22%. If the shares were sold at either the high or low of the 3rd period (not always an easy task), the mean yield per trade was 0.81%.

Who was the 2400th hit?


It was someone from Mountain View, California. Could it be Henry John Kaiser (May 9, 1882 – August 24, 1967), an American industrialist who became known as the father of modern American shipbuilding. He established the Kaiser Shipyard which built Liberty ships during World War II, after which he formed Kaiser Aluminum and Kaiser Steel. Kaiser organized Kaiser Permanente health care for his workers and their families. He led Kaiser-Frazer followed by Kaiser Motors, automobile companies known for the safety of their designs. Kaiser was involved in large construction projects such as civic centers and dams, and invested in real estate. With his acquired wealth, he initiated the Kaiser Family Foundation, a charitable organization. (Wiki)

The trend is now up (but it may be short-lived)


TNA Kagi is now black. TZA Kagi is now red. American Candlesticks flashed a TNA Buy. $NASI was still negative today.

?Right Shoulder Formation then Big Downleg


Lifted from Maurice Walker...He's postulating that we go up to about 1150 on the S&P and then a big downleg to retest the March 2009 low unfolds.

Nice trading day


Market orders to buy TNA were placed prior to today's open in view of yesterday's signal at the close. TNA was then sold off during the 1st time period. The 10 minute AO system flashed a TNA Sell signal at 9:50 AM. TZA Buy Signals flashed at 2:40 PM and 3:20 PM. Each of the 2 intramarket day TZA Buy signals subsequently flashed a sell at the end of one 10 minute period. There was no signal at the close.

TZA P&F Price Target

TNA Redwhite Candle Today


The market opened low and went lower (as predicted yesterday). Then it fought its way back all day. The 10 minute AO system flashed a TZA Sell signal at 9:40 AM. TNA Buy Signals flashed at 11:40 AM, 2:10 PM, 3:30 PM & at the close. Each of the 3 intramarket day TNA Buy signals subsequently flashed a sell at the end of one to two 10 minute periods. The 4th signal (at the close) predicts a market rise during the 1st 10 minutes of trading tomorrow. Thus the Green Barclay Racer.

Use of the 2nd Green Bar to Initiate Buys


10 minute 2 day setting for TZA. Use 2nd green bar for awesome oscillator. Want KVO crossing up in conjunction with a rising (but not topped out) DeMarker Indicator & Chaikin Money Flow. Also want to avoid Declining Twin Peaks above the zero line (see:http://www.alpari.co.uk/en/market-analysis-guide/chaos-theory/ao.html) Could use trailing stops. At your own risk...see disclaimer above.

Tip #2 KVO


Stephen J. Klinger developed the Klinger Volume Oscillator indicator, which uses volume to measure the accumulation or distribution of shares in order to determine the long-term trends of money flow while remaining sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
1. In the case of an up-trend, a buy signal is generated when the KVO crosses its trigger line (the 13-day KVO exponential moving average) from below after a big drop below the zero level.
2. In the case of a down-trend, a sell signal is generated when the KVO crosses its trigger line from above after reaching unusual high levels above zero.
3. When the Klinger Volume Oscillator indicator starts increasing but the underlying symbol is decreasing, the underlying symbol price is likely to start increasing. (Positive Divergence).
4. When the Klinger Volume Oscillator indicator starts decreasing but the underlying symbol is increasing, the underlying symbol price is likely to start decreasing. (Negative Divergence).
One can follow the 1 minute TZA chart and watch the KVO to initiate buys and sells. (see disclaimer above) 8" Hubley Racer No. 1

Trading Tip #1


Don't trade against the trend. The trend is down. Here's the TNA Kagi chart which supports a downward trend since April 27th (line is red). Avoid trading TNA...just trade TZA now (see disclaimer above).

Monday Should be Up






Today's Fingerprint was:CRVNZ CNZRV UUUUD UDDDU PNNNP
TNA's TD REI went up as TNA's 5 day High-Low Range Contracted (TNA went up then down during the 5 trading days causing a smaller denominator in the TD REI formula). Only TICK had expansion of its 5 day High-Low Range. Numerous Unidirectional (UD) TNA BUY Signals Rang including: TNA TD REI CALC-POSITIVE TNA PLDOT-RISING TRIN TD REI BUY TNA The formula for this signal is: AND(BA388>0,AT388>AT387,(AS388*(AS388-AS387)/AS387*(AS387-AS386))<-2600), where BA is TNA PLDOT minus its Close (2.68>0), AT is the TRIN TD REI(237>209) and AS is the TNA TD REI [(217*(217-140))/140]*(140-188)= 16,709/-6720=-5728. The TNA PLDOT- TNA CLOSE was negative all week, but turned positive today because of an overall drop in TNA's close, high & low. The formula is: =ROUNDDOWN((((AVERAGE(BQ388:BS388)+AVERAGE(BQ387:BS387)+AVERAGE(BQ386:BS386))/3)-BQ388),2). BQ, BR & BS are TNA's Close, High & Low respectively. [(56.62+58.98+54.25)/3+(60.115+63.16+59.22)/3+(61.92+62.08+57.39)/3]/3-56.62=[56.62+60.83+60.46]/3-56.62=59.3-56.62=2.68. The VIX PLDOT minus its Close went negative on Friday (-3.69) as a previously falling VIX Close (the market went up during the first half of the week) exceeded its PLDOT with a declining market. A VIX TD REI CALC-POSITIVE TNA PLDOT-RISING TRIN TD REI BUY TNA also flashed today.
