Can anyone make me a chart link with the 5 and 30 min SPX and SPY with the Modified MACD 25-170-25 that Matt did several months/years ago? Used to basically be just the Macd histogram and then the 5 or 8 period ma with the oscillator above?

this link for example doesn't work anymore

Hadik  has noted recently that the 2.5 yr cycle that has called the tops and bottoms of this market so well since 1997 had a call of a top between Feb 13-22, 2013. So far looks like a good call.

looking forward to it as i have been considering taking a hiatus for 6 months and that might keep me involved

Looks like late night I am dyslexic and blind. When I read the alert now, it seems that I transposed the numbers in my head and not the other way. 144.81 ISlarger than 144.57. Perhaps I just expected the lower number to be first,  but it is all my ERROR. Oh me of little faith in you guys!

Apologies.

was this alert just really poorly worded?

"...if the SPY closes below$144.81 and above$144.57"

That says you EXCLUDE the zone in between those values. Based on this a trade SHOULD have been made today.I missed seeing this til much later so no harm no foul but I suppose "below" and "above" were transposed????????

You might be better served to go long AAPL and short GOOG as you may see this spread reversed in a short few months.

Currently at roughly $58, $25 of that today alone, it could easily become a negative $100 over the next few months as APPL earnings far outstrip GOOG's....just a thought and something we can watch.

People like companies whose products they can touch/feel and see. GOOG is still kinda hard for some folks to wrap their heads around.

Was it here at BPT I learned that when the SPX daily closed above/below its BB lines that a strong reversal was due shortly, usually 48 hours?? Or was it something else?

However kal, I would prefer to track the big chart you put up earlier  [or was that last week?], as it was much cleaner to read!!

do you have the updated chart to post please or a stock charts link?

to da moon....ought to be a nice sell off once this end of year exuberance peters out...then again, why not straight up to 1300+???

let's see how it does on Tuesday now....this is about as stretched as it can be...which scares me because it can always stretch a bit more or so it seems!!

Happy Christmas !!!!

I am most curious to come back at the close and see whether we trigger  today, I may take the trade anyways just because everything is so overbought and sto so embedded over 80, on the 60 period on the 5 min and all the stos on the 15 min.... at least the 5 min "ought" to break for some kind of pullback Monday!!

Besides we get a push up into the close to complete a pattern i am watching

All the best y'all.

some of us have learned not to clutter the board with our posts in favor of those who actually make worthwhile posts.

Merry Christmas.

Besides the Mayan end of the worldis Saturday, THIS YEAR...according to Leonard Nimoy back in 1978...click on it and see, less than 3 min long.

WAIT!! Matt, you are not a genius and you make mistakes??? And you sleep sometimes? Oh no, I may need a refund!!!

Seriously, all the best to you and your mom.

A must read if you ask me:

If this has be cited previously I missed it, so apologies in advance.

I just went back to the stats page from the start of May, 2011. Am I correct that the SPY system is ONLY down 1345.60??

Seems like we have been on a definitive roller coaster here but overall, I think we are doing ok all things considered.

Seems that the market may be moving into another ideal SPY system trading phase where the trades will be most profitable. I'm looking forward to it.

that shows a top 12/10+/- 4 trade days, and yesterday's signal is right in line with all that. I expect another push higher into Friday but that's what the multi entry system is great at picking up.

I expect this trade to be a short term as I still expect a Christmas rally top around 1300- as high as 1340s top

that's the question

and the sell could be a sharp 1 day deal too  just be careful....I am looking to book some profits early going into weekend...especially as i may be traveling Monday/Tuesday and AFK!!

it is currently below the lower BB...if it closes there and then closes back within the next day or two, that generally will be a sell signal...lots setting up here and screaming BE CAREFUL!!
