Lunar Short Cycle 

SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUSTArca

Description

New moon shorting on the SPY.
Just before, on, or just after the new moon
the spy tends to move down (see yellow areas).
The next new moon is in a day and could be a short play with a tight stop.
Let's see what happens.

Correlation between lunar cycles and investment returns on a year basis is about 5% positive (45% lose vs 55% win). You have to make a lot of investments to take advantage of the correlate (> 20 trades per year). The effect is stronger in the United States, Canada, France and Germany. As always, other factors can over-ride this correlate for long periods of time. The effect is significant on 10 year and 30 year charts.

@tradeBob1, Thanks Bob for the information. Interesting. I figure a couple days trade with a possible $1-$2 profit, and tight stop loss, works for me. Do you trade other astro cycles, planetary aspects, etc. I'm more of an Elliott Wave trader. Mark
