well...even with the melt up on the market, the SPY and ES
exhaustion short trades still have not triggered, it's tough to
trigger those, and shows you how stringent and overbought things
have to get before that system triggers. Plenty of times in the
past the market had even stronger runs to trigger that

Do your exhaustion systems wait for a trigger to trigger?
E.g. I wouldn't think you would get a system trigger without
first getting a pullback or two (it's hard to get divergences on a
daily chart when a bad day is sideways and the rest of the days are
up)
Exhaustion short no - it triggers off the highs. Sometimes those
exhaustion shorts can be great shorts picking a decent high,
HOWEVER most of the time you just get a mean reversion pullback in
the uptrend and if you wait for a reversal trigger you give up too
much waiting for the reversal confirmation. But again, a lot of
things have to line up for that condition to trigger such as like
> 30 consecutive days above a short term MA, and RSI >
a certain level, and %R in the upper 90's etc
