Last week the S1TH was still above 65 % line last week, however due to high volatility , and negative reading from two supportive indicators, i advised that this market wasn't "tradeable" ( not a word) or new position shouldn't be opened. fast forward to yesterday, the S1TH is well below 65 % ( 51.48),volatility so far for the month is 22.5 %. at this point , if...
the S1TH dipped below the 65 % line on Wednesday ,before closing above it again at 69.30% . However , two of the supportive indicators are negative.

When I first published this strategy three years back, I described it as a strategy for conservative investors. so due to the high volatility in the market...
Gold price closed below its 10 month MA , so this trade is close with a loss Cheers Algo
SPY finishes the quarter up 1.23 % ( including all distribution payment). As expected September continues to be a volatile month for the markets( Volatility = 9.3% for Sept.). With earning season around the corner , I expect the same volatility for the month of October. The SPY continues to trade in a channel, and should stay within these limits ( we 'll see)....
Alibaba is trading, now we can get focus on something else. the S1TH jumped to 86 % from 73 %. All three supportive indicators are positive, so this market remains "tradeable". The the AK TREND ID indicator for the SPY, remains in the green zone ( see comment section). Cheers Algo

Two out of three supportive indicators remains positive, so this market remains "tradeable" Interesting week ahead, things i will keep my eye on : - Scottish independence & GBP - Alibaba IPO & YHOO -...
The day is not over yet , but as of yesterday close, the SPY is up a nice 3.65 % for the month of August. It remains above it 's 200 MA, so this trade is still open.

I'm still long SPY despite all the noise and BS i see on CNBC. Over the last two weeks, so called "experts" have appeared on Business Television shows, to either call the top and say the market will crash like in 1987 , or expecting the S&P 500 to go up for another 28 %.....Seriously?? My favorite quote comes from Stephen Auth, Chief Investment officer of Federal...
The S1TH is at 73 % , up from 69.30. 2 of 3 supportive indicators are still positive. Market is "tradeable" cheers Algo
The S1TH saw its sharpest drop since March of this year, and currently sitting at 69.30 ( down from 83.16). The exit point for conservative investors is 65, but we are not there yet. Out of the three supportive indicators, only two remains in positive territory. Very interesting times , is this the beginning of the end of one of the most profitable bull market...
