ALL U.S. MARKETS WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY BUT WILL REOPEN ON TUESDAY, THEREFORE THERE WILL BE NO EVENING BRIEFING ON MONDAY...

ALSO, I'M IN THE DIRECT PATH OF THE COMING HURRICANE, SO IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE EVENING BRIEFING ON TUESDAY, THEN YOU KNOW I'M WITHOUT INTERNET OR POWER UNTIL IT'S RESTORED, SORRY FOR ANY INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE IF IT OCCURS...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/29/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the December gold at 1525.60 as of 8/30/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/23/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 3158.44 and must close below that price on Friday, February 14th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3051.22

MAJOR - - 3009.06 and must close below that price on Friday, November 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2981.26 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 24th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 2955.01

minor - - 2910.97

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2890.00

minor - - 2809.26

minor - - 2762.55

MAJOR - - 2759.15 and must close above that price on Friday, November 15th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

minor - - 2711.37

MAJOR - - 2690.23 and must close above that price on Wednesday, December 18th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 2584.53 and must close above that price on Tuesday, January 21st to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the December gold at 1539.70 as of 8/27/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1548.50

MAJOR - - 1539.46 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 3rd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1525.69

minor - - 1448.50

minor - - 1390.51

MAJOR - - 1358.29 and must close above that price on Thursday, August 29th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/23/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 3158.44 and must close below that price on Friday, February 14th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3051.22

MAJOR - - 3009.06 and must close below that price on Friday, November 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2981.26 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 24th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 2955.01

minor - - 2910.97

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2883.25

minor - - 2809.26 WE MISSED THIS VP TODAY BY ONLY .50 POINTS!!!

minor - - 2762.55

MAJOR - - 2759.15 and must close above that price on Friday, November 15th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

minor - - 2711.37

MAJOR - - 2690.23 and must close above that price on Wednesday, December 18th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 2584.53 and must close above that price on Tuesday, January 21st to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the December gold at 1539.70 as of 8/23/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 1539.46 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 3rd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1538.10

minor - - 1525.69

minor - - 1448.50

minor - - 1390.51

MAJOR - - 1358.29 and must close above that price on Thursday, August 29th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/21/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 3158.44 and must close below that price on Friday, February 14th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3051.22

MAJOR - - 3009.06 and must close below that price on Friday, November 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2981.26 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 24th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 2955.01

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2921.50

minor - - 2910.97

minor - - 2809.26

minor - - 2762.55

MAJOR - - 2759.15 and must close above that price on Friday, November 15th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

minor - - 2711.37

MAJOR - - 2690.23 and must close above that price on Wednesday, December 18th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 2584.53 and must close above that price on Tuesday, January 21st to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the December gold at 1525.70 as of 8/6/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 1539.46 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 3rd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1525.69

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1508.30

minor - - 1448.50

minor - - 1390.51

MAJOR - - 1358.29 and must close above that price on Thursday, August 29th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/20/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 3158.44 and must close below that price on Friday, February 14th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3051.22

MAJOR - - 3009.06 and must close below that price on Friday, November 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2981.26 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 24th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 2955.01

minor - - 2910.97

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2898.50

minor - - 2762.55

minor - - 2711.37

MAJOR - - 2690.23 and must close above that price on Wednesday, December 18th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 2584.53 and must close above that price on Tuesday, January 21st to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the December gold at 1525.70 as of 8/6/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 1539.46 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 3rd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1525.69

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1517.80

minor - - 1448.50

minor - - 1390.51

MAJOR - - 1358.29 and must close above that price on Thursday, August 29th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/14/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 3158.44 and must close below that price on Friday, February 14th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3051.22

MAJOR - - 3009.06 and must close below that price on Friday, November 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2981.26 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 24th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 2955.01

minor - - 2910.97

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2891.75

minor - - 2762.55

minor - - 2711.37

MAJOR - - 2690.23 and must close above that price on Wednesday, December 18th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 2584.53 and must close above that price on Tuesday, January 21st to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the December gold at 1525.70 as of 8/6/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 1539.46 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 3rd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1525.69

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1523.70

minor - - 1448.50

minor - - 1390.51

MAJOR - - 1358.29 and must close above that price on Thursday, August 29th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/14/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 3158.44 and must close below that price on Friday, February 14th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3051.22

minor - - 2711.37

MAJOR - - 2584.53 and must close above that price on Tuesday, January 21st to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/12/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 3158.44 and must close below that price on Friday, February 14th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3051.22

MAJOR - - 2981.26 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 24th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 2910.97

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2880.25

minor - - 2711.37

MAJOR - - 2584.53 and must close above that price on Tuesday, January 21st to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the December gold at 1448.50 as of 8/5/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1523.30

MAJOR - - 1358.29 and must close above that price on Thursday, August 29th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the SP at 2910.75 as of 8/8/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 3158.44 and must close below that price on Friday, February 14th to confirm a new main model sell signal... NEW

minor - - 3051.22 NEW

MAJOR - - 2981.26 and must close below that price on Tuesday, September 24th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2939.50

minor - - 2910.97

minor - - 2711.37

MAJOR - - 2584.53 and must close above that price on Tuesday, January 21st to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the December gold at 1448.50 as of 8/5/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1515.40

minor - - 1471.61

minor - - 1448.50

minor - - 1390.51

MAJOR - - 1358.29 and must close above that price on Thursday, August 29th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...
