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 MARCH mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the March SP at 2906.25 as of 2/28/2020 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...

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...

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 MARCH mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the March SP at 3349.25 as of 2/10/2020 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 - - 3399.94 and must close below that price on Wednesday, April 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 3385.16 and must close below that price on Friday, March 20th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3370.75

minor - - 3362.13

minor - - 3349.31

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 3274.77

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 3270.38

MAJOR - - (none) and must close below that price on (no date) to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 2610.66

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 1786.77

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...

APRIL GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the April gold at 1562.30 as of 2/6/20 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 - - 1658.107 and must close below that price on Tuesday, March 10th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1626.64

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1622.70

MAJOR - - 1622.38 and must close below that price on Wednesday, March 11th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1602.51

minor - - 1540.36

minor - - 1474.66

MAJOR - - 1415.703 and must close above that price on Friday, March 27th 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 MARCH mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the March SP at 3349.25 as of 2/10/2020 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 - - 3399.94 and must close below that price on Wednesday, April 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 3385.16 and must close below that price on Friday, March 20th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3370.00

minor - - 3362.13

minor - - 3349.31

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 3274.77

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 3270.38

MAJOR - - (none) and must close below that price on (no date) to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 2610.66

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 1786.77

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...

APRIL GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the April gold at 1562.30 as of 2/6/20 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 - - 1658.107 and must close below that price on Tuesday, March 10th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1626.64

MAJOR - - 1622.38 and must close below that price on Wednesday, March 11th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1605.90

minor - - 1602.51

minor - - 1540.36

minor - - 1474.66

MAJOR - - 1415.703 and must close above that price on Friday, March 27th 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 MARCH mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the March SP at 3349.25 as of 2/10/2020 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 - - 3399.94 and must close below that price on Wednesday, April 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3377.50

minor - - 3349.31

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 3274.77

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 3270.38

minor - - 3168.65

MAJOR - - 3102.89 and must close below that price on Monday, May 11th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 2610.66

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 1786.77

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...

APRIL GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the April gold at 1562.30 as of 2/6/20 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 - - 1658.107 and must close below that price on Tuesday, March 10th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1626.64

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1579.50

MAJOR - - 1562.39 and must close below that price on Tuesday, January 7th to confirm a new main model sell signal... HELD OVER

minor - - 1540.36

minor - - 1474.66

MAJOR - - 1415.703 and must close above that price on Friday, March 27th 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 MARCH mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the March SP at 3349.25 as of 2/10/2020 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 - - 3399.94 and must close below that price on Wednesday, April 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3357.75

minor - - 3349.31

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 3274.77

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 3270.38

minor - - 3168.65

MAJOR - - 3102.89 and must close below that price on Monday, May 11th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 2610.66

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 1786.77

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...

APRIL GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the April gold at 1562.30 as of 2/6/20 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 - - 1658.107 and must close below that price on Tuesday, March 10th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1626.64

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1571.50

MAJOR - - 1562.39 and must close below that price on Tuesday, January 7th to confirm a new main model sell signal... HELD OVER

minor - - 1540.36

MAJOR - - 1526.78 and must close above that price on Monday, February 9th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

minor - - 1474.66

MAJOR - - 1415.703 and must close above that price on Friday, March 27th 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 MARCH mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the March SP at 3270.00 as of 2/4/2020 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 - - 3399.94 and must close below that price on Wednesday, April 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3349.31

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3324.25

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 3274.77

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 3270.38

MAJOR - - 3102.89 and must close below that price on Monday, May 11th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 2610.66

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 1786.77

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...

APRIL GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the April gold at 1562.30 as of 2/6/20 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 - - 1658.107 and must close below that price on Tuesday, March 10th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1626.64

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1573.40

For Thursday, February 6th

Okay, all those who believe in psycho kinesis raise my hand.

* * * Anonymous

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 MARCH mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the March SP at 3275.00 as of 1/31/2020 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 - - 3399.94 and must close below that price on Wednesday, April 29th to confirm a new main model sell signal... NEW

minor - - 3349.31 NEW

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3335.00

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 3274.77

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 3270.38

MAJOR - - 3205.38 and must close below that price on Thursday, February 12th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3170.71

minor - - 3168.65

MAJOR - - 3162.10 and must close below that price on Monday, February 17th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 3102.89 and must close below that price on Monday, May 11th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

minor - - 3059.27

minor - - 3051.17

MAJOR (weekly chart) - - 2610.66

MAJOR (monthly chart) - - 1786.77

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...

APRIL GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the April gold at 1562.40 as of 2/4/20 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 - - 1658.107 and must close below that price on Tuesday, March 10th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1626.64

MAJOR - - 1562.39 and must close below that price on Tuesday, January 7th to confirm a new main model sell signal... HELD OVER

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1561.10

minor - - 1540.36

MAJOR - - 1526.78 and must close above that price on Monday, February 9th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

minor - - 1474.66

MAJOR - - 1415.703 and must close above that price on Friday, March 27th 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...
