No love for BFI the last month or more. A big "M" pattern played
out, with lows below the old support area around the $10.50 area.
Price dipped well below that on May 12 - 21. Back above it for now,
but that cut below may be revisited (and more). Your thoughts?

Man, the SPX has gone from a low of ~3230 last October (and
again in Nov) to a high of ~4230 this month - that's a 31% gain in
7 months! (If only my account was up that much.)
How often has something like that occurred, and what usually
happens in the aftermath of those kinds of gains? For that
matter, it's been almost 100% gain since the low of March 2020.

Use the regular etf charts and watch for a candle reversal
pattern on an intraday chart (doji, evening star, gravestone doji,
bear wedge, higher high w/ divergence, etc.). Watch for
resistance on the regular etf charts. For example on DIA there is
resistance around 341 and then 342. I would not buy any SDOW,
TZA etc. right now w/out a trigger and stop above the high before
the trigger.

Maybe, but it's hitting support turned resistance (~230 on March
5th), looks like an ABC up on the hourly chart (A=220.32; B=212.17;
C=231.85?), and also bear flag look on the daily. If it can break
back above today's high that would be constructive.

I plan on taking 1/2 of the SPY off and setting a stop at entry
or higher (already sold my call). But with the VIX giving a
buy signal, I'll also be watching on Monday for an intraday TA
pattern or candle setup to go long again with a 1/4 position (e.g.
2,500 of the orig. 10K SPY trade). The VIX signal has been
high probability in the past, so in combination with a pattern
giving a tighter stop, it seems like a pretty safe plan.

SPY trade vs. VIX signal: If SPY stays up we'll get a SPY
System exit signal. But we'll also get a VIX buy signal
confirmation candle. Hmm, what to do. Any thoughts
welcome!

Use the regular etf charts
Is it late to get in to SDOW, SQQQ, TZA?
