After earning?  Matt, in previous

    After earning?  Matt, in previous newsletters, you mentioned that the market would probably hold up until after major tech earnings. After earnings, maybe a different market. Has your view changed? I know that you and Steve always mentioned to trade what is in front of you.  And I realize that the market had been difficult and different to trade and several warning signs that led to the recent market sell off. 

    analyze, monitor, and adjust.  On

    analyze, monitor, and adjust.  On the market a couple things helped it: 

    1st. First off I've said this 1000 times, when the short term MA's are pointing straight up (was not on IWM) but everything else, when you get fast hard corrections they get bought, you don't start extended downtrends when the MA's have a strong upward slope. Now what will happen eventually is lower highs and sideways movement that causes the daily MA's to flatten out, that's when you get your longer corrections because the MA configs allow it.  On this rally on SPX etc maybe it makes new highs, or maybe it chops around and forms a lower high. But always that initial BOOM sell off is bought like Monday's. 

    2. Earnings does help here, since we got the big sell off day before a lot of these big cap tech stocks, those may allow it to hold up more here, again trade your setups and systems - SPY system did well, McClellan Systems did fine. KISS systems are fine. trade your plan and time frame and style. 

    as far as the market now, I have a hard time counting an abc completed down more of an A down. So we may need to chop around, even have a pullback that forms a higher low to form wave B. A lower high and sufficient sideways moves could cause the daily MA's to flatten out enough to allow for a bigger correction in Aug or even Sept for example. Again I'll let things develop and react and trade my strategies
