TRINNING


Futures are trading higher this morning on the heels of higher foreign markets.


One buy signal that I follow hit on Friday and that was the TRIN - it has closed above 1.0 three days in a row and that is generally a hint of an over sold market. Trading markets tested it out and came up with this trade:


1) The TRIN closes over 1.0 for three consecutive days;

2) On the third day buy the market on close;

3) Exit when the SPX closes above above its 5 day SMA;

4) The SPX is above its 200 SMA;


Yeah, the fly in the ointment, we are below the SMA 200 although above the 50 and we appear to be in a short term up trend. I think its worth a shot and note the SMA 5 at/near 1397.


Other indicators not quite giving by signals with the VIX at/near the SMA 10 and RSI (2) levels at near 20.

It sounds like you are reaching a bit, David. It might work but you are in uncharted waters. All of the probabilities go out the window when you start changing the assumptions.
