Well, the SPY is on a sell too (not as negative as IWM), but again the month isn't over, and I assume the signal is not confirmed until then.  The IWM was positive as of the last day of trading of November, as was the SPY.

Thanks Matt, I'm looking at

Thanks Matt, I'm looking at it now.  Using freestockcharts.com, there are two ROC indicators available, one being a percent, which I gather is the right one.  The ROC on my chart says it's at -0.7, so on a sell already.  But because it's a monthly chart you have to wait until Jan 1st to get the final signal?

Thanks.  It's a swing short, not a big position, I won't lose much if I close.  Maybe look to re-enter later.  Or I could hold out.  Europe plunging into recession surely would not be good for oil prices.

thoughts on USO /crude appreciated

I am still holding a 1/2 position short on USO.  It will hit my stop loss unless I change it.  Matt, Steve, anyone, thoughts on the USO chart?

chart on SFG - problem?

Posted by frtaylor on 29th of Nov 2011 at 12:42 pm

on my Fidelity chart I have seven days where SFG was over 34, and five days over 33.60, all within the month of November .  The BPT/stockcharts.com chart does not show the same thing.  Totally affects the validity of the breakpoint line on the BPT chart.

There goes IMAX, hitting my stop.  Just about every long now stopped out!

What's the quick/easy way to get the SPY equivalent?

use the Renko link on

GDX System

Posted by frtaylor on 15th of Nov 2011 at 04:09 pm

use the Renko link on the GDX page, the link you posted is old data - Nov 11th is the last day on that chart.  Not even sure how you got to that page, I can't find it via Market Lab.

Matt, you still like MCP?

Posted by frtaylor on 14th of Nov 2011 at 10:20 am

If so, price is starting to get attractive for a longer term hold.

Yes, thx for the chart!

USO - 60 min

Posted by frtaylor on 10th of Nov 2011 at 12:31 pm

Yes, thx for the chart!  I had not been watching my USO trade (Matt's trade).  Saw your chart and took profits @ 37.80, and took a small short.

Well, I would still go

Today's big red candle; thoughts?

Posted by frtaylor on 10th of Nov 2011 at 08:49 am

Well, I would still go back to Steve: if we close above a 50% retrace of yesterday's candle, then go long w/ a stop below yesterday's lows.  Otherwise we go lower.  How far down? I don't know, but I'd be looking for an entry long (w/ a stop below the low of this move), since this has the feel of an ABC correction (if you agree w/ Matt's charting).  I have seen so many bigger picture predictions/guesses on this blog and elsewhere that have not played out, that it seems best not to weigh in, much less bet, on such things.

Rather than hazard a guess, and since there are so many points one can make on either side, I will go w/ Steve's addage:  just respect the message of the market.
