For Monday, January 4th

"Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? I mean, it’s hardly ever for them?"

* * * Harry Hill

ALL U.S. MARKETS WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW, FRIDAY, TO OBSERVE THE NEW YEAR.

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 long the March SP at 3676.75 as of 12/23/20 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 - - 3750.95 expires after Wednesday, February 17th

MAJOR - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3748.25

MAJOR - - 3569.108 expiration date not determined

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the February gold at 1884.40 as of 12/30/20 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 - - 2075.89 (expiration date undetermined)...

minor - - 1757.81

MAJOR - - 1710.77 expires after Friday, February 26th

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

4. OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO

STOP GUESSING AND BE YOUR OWN FUND MANAGER AND BE ON YOUR PATH TO FINANCIAL GROWTH!!!

RULES ON HOW TO USE THE OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO (OP) ARE FOUND IN THE TUTORIAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EVENING BRIEFING

For Wednesday, December 30th

"Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? I mean, it’s hardly ever for them?"

* * * Harry Hill

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 long the March SP at 3676.75 as of 12/23/20 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 - - 3750.95 expires after Wednesday, February 17th

MAJOR - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3724.25

minor - - 3715.32

MAJOR - - 3676.88 expires after Wednesday, January 13th...

MAJOR - - 3674.21 expires after Thursday, January 28th...

minor - - 3666.93

minor - - 3649.38

minor - - 3632.87

minor - - 3612.79

MAJOR - - 3569.108 expiration date not determined

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the February gold at 1891.00 as of 12/21/20 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 - - 2075.89 (expiration date undetermined)...

minor - - 1995.17

minor - - 1972.54 expires after Wednesday, March 3, 2021

MAJOR - - 1943.64 expires after Tuesday, February 23rd

minor - - 1915.48

MAJOR - - 1909.61 expires after Monday, January 25th

minor - - 1891.46

minor - - 1884.43

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1882.00

minor - - 1859.00

minor - - 1757.81

MAJOR - - 1710.77 expires after Friday, February 26th

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

4. OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO

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

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 $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

For Monday, December 28th

"Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? I mean, it’s hardly ever for them?"

* * * Harry Hill

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 long the March SP at 3676.75 as of 12/23/20 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 - - 3750.95 expires after Wednesday, February 17th

MAJOR - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

minor - - 3715.32

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3692.75

MAJOR - - 3676.88 expires after Wednesday, January 13th...

MAJOR - - 3674.21 expires after Thursday, January 28th...

minor - - 3666.93

minor - - 3649.38

minor - - 3632.87

minor - - 3612.79

MAJOR - - 3569.108 expiration date not determined

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the February gold at 1891.00 as of 12/21/20 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 - - 2075.89 (expiration date undetermined)...

minor - - 1995.17

minor - - 1972.54 expires after Wednesday, March 3, 2021

MAJOR - - 1943.64 expires after Tuesday, February 23rd

minor - - 1915.48

MAJOR - - 1909.61 expires after Monday, January 25th

minor - - 1891.46

minor - - 1884.43

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1876.30

minor - - 1859.00

minor - - 1757.81

MAJOR - - 1710.77 expires after Friday, February 26th

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

For Thursday, December 24th

"Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? I mean, it’s hardly ever for them?"

* * * Harry Hill

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 short the March SP at 3677.00 as of 12/22/20 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 - - 3750.95 expires after Wednesday, February 17th

MAJOR - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

minor - - 3715.32

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3678.00

MAJOR - - 3676.88 expires after Wednesday, January 13th...

MAJOR - - 3674.21 expires after Thursday, January 28th...

minor - - 3666.93

minor - - 3649.38

minor - - 3632.87

minor - - 3612.79

MAJOR - - 3569.108 expiration date not determined

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the February gold at 1891.00 as of 12/21/20 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 - - 2075.89 (expiration date undetermined)...

minor - - 1995.17

minor - - 1972.54 expires after Wednesday, March 3, 2021

MAJOR - - 1943.64 expires after Tuesday, February 23rd

minor - - 1915.48

MAJOR - - 1909.61 expires after Monday, January 25th

minor - - 1891.46

minor - - 1884.43

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1876.30

minor - - 1859.00

minor - - 1757.81

MAJOR - - 1710.77 expires after Friday, February 26th

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

4. OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO

STOP GUESSING AND BE YOUR OWN FUND MANAGER AND BE ON YOUR PATH TO FINANCIAL GROWTH!!!

For Tuesday, December 22nd

"Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? I mean, it’s hardly ever for them?"

* * * Harry Hill

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 long the March SP at 3612.75 as of 12/21/20 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 - - 3750.95 expires after Wednesday, February 17th

MAJOR - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

minor - - 3715.32

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3681.25

MAJOR - - 3676.88 expires after Wednesday, January 13th...

MAJOR - - 3674.21 expires after Thursday, January 28th...

minor - - 3666.93

minor - - 3649.38

minor - - 3632.87

minor - - 3612.79

MAJOR - - 3569.108 expiration date not determined

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the February gold at 1859.00 as of 12/16/20 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 - - 2075.89 (expiration date undetermined)...

minor - - 1995.17

minor - - 1972.54 expires after Wednesday, March 3, 2021

MAJOR - - 1943.64 expires after Tuesday, February 23rd

minor - - 1915.48

MAJOR - - 1909.61 expires after Monday, January 25th

minor - - 1891.46

minor - - 1884.43

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1881.30

minor - - 1859.00

minor - - 1757.81

MAJOR - - 1710.77 expires after Friday, February 26th

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

4. OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO

STOP GUESSING AND BE YOUR OWN FUND MANAGER AND BE ON YOUR PATH TO FINANCIAL GROWTH!!!

RULES ON HOW TO USE THE OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO (OP) ARE FOUND IN THE TUTORIAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EVENING BRIEFING

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the February gold at 1859.00 as of 12/16/20 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...

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

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 long the March SP at 3649.25 as of 12/15/20 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 - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3715.25

MAJOR - - 3452.61 (expiration date undetermined)

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

For Thursday, December 17th

"Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? I mean, it’s hardly ever for them?"

* * * Harry Hill

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 long the March SP at 3649.25 as of 12/15/20 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 - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3694.25

MAJOR - - 3676.88 expires after Wednesday, January 13th...

MAJOR - - 3674.21 expires after Thursday, January 28th...

minor - - 3666.93

minor - - 3649.38

minor - - 3632.87

minor - - 3575.04

minor - - 3522.81

MAJOR - - 3526.62 (expiration date undetermined)

MAJOR - - 3452.61 (expiration date undetermined)

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the February gold at 1859.00 as of 12/16/20 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 - - 2075.89 (expiration date undetermined)...

minor - - 1995.17

minor - - 1972.54 expires after Wednesday, March 3, 2021

MAJOR - - 1943.64 expires after Tuesday, February 23rd

minor - - 1915.48

minor - - 1891.46

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1867.00

minor - - 1859.00

minor - - 1757.81

MAJOR - - 1710.77 expires after Friday, February 26th

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

4. OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO

STOP GUESSING AND BE YOUR OWN FUND MANAGER AND BE ON YOUR PATH TO FINANCIAL GROWTH!!!

RULES ON HOW TO USE THE OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO (OP) ARE FOUND IN THE TUTORIAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EVENING BRIEFING

For Tuesday, December 15th

"Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? I mean, it’s hardly ever for them?"

* * * Harry Hill

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 short the March SP at 3676.00 as of 12/14/20 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 - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

MAJOR - - 3676.88 expires after Wednesday, January 13th...

MAJOR - - 3674.21 expires after Thursday, January 28th...

minor - - 3666.93

minor - - 3649.38

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3643.50

minor - - 3632.87

minor - - 3575.04

minor - - 3522.81

MAJOR - - 3526.62 (expiration date undetermined)

MAJOR - - 3452.61 (expiration date undetermined)

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the February gold at 1857.90 as of 12/9/20 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 - - 2075.89 (expiration date undetermined)...

minor - - 1995.17

minor - - 1972.54 expires after Wednesday, March 3, 2021

MAJOR - - 1943.64 expires after Tuesday, February 23rd

minor - - 1915.48

minor - - 1891.46

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1831.50

minor - - 1757.81

MAJOR - - 1710.77 expires after Friday, February 26th

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

4. OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO

STOP GUESSING AND BE YOUR OWN FUND MANAGER AND BE ON YOUR PATH TO FINANCIAL GROWTH!!!

RULES ON HOW TO USE THE OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO (OP) ARE FOUND IN THE TUTORIAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EVENING BRIEFING

If you're having difficulty trading the near term VP model, then take a serious look at the optimized portfolio, you will definitely make money, it is easy to follow, tried and proven, and with no stress, I use it myself primarily... if you have any questions on how to use it, then email me and we can arrange a time to review your personal trading strategy...

The main model is long the March SP at 3632.75 as of 12/11/20 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...

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...

FEBRUARY GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short the February gold at 1857.90 as of 12/9/20 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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

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 long the March SP at 3649.25 as of 12/10/20 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...

For Thursday, December 10th

"Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? I mean, it’s hardly ever for them?"

* * * Harry Hill

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 short the March SP at 3677.00 as of 12/9/20 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 - - 3740.24 expires after Thursday, March 18th...

MAJOR - - 3676.88 expires after Wednesday, January 13th...

MAJOR - - 3674.21 expires after Thursday, January 28th...

minor - - 3666.93

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3658.75

minor - - 3649.38

minor - - 3632.87

minor - - 3575.04

minor - - 3522.81

MAJOR - - 3526.62 (expiration date undetermined)

MAJOR - - 3452.61 (expiration date undetermined)

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 1844.90 as of 12/7/20 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 - - 2344.29 and must close below that price on Tuesday, February 6th, 2052 (no typo) to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2050.602 and must close below that price on Wednesday, December 30th to confirm a new vertical price sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2027.36 and must close below this price on Thursday, February 11, 2021 to confirm a new vertical price sell signal...

minor - - 1995.33

minor - - 1975.52

MAJOR - - 1952.43 (date not determined)

minor - - 1929.19

minor - - 1901.34

minor - - 1849.88

MAJOR - - 1844.97

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1832.40

MAJOR - - 1805.87 and must close above this price on Thursday, January 21, 2021 to confirm a new vertical price 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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 23 completed trades for a total of 128.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AS OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2020, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 356.67...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO

THE WEEKLY NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO IS ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BELOW THE GOLD CHART...
THIS IS THE WEEKLY RATIO OF ALL THE CALLS AND PUTS BOUGHT ON THE NYSE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK...
THE ONLY TRUE READING IS ON FRIDAY AFTER THE CLOSE, BUT THE RATIO MAY BE UPDATED MORE OFTEN TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA WHERE THE OVERALL MARKET IS...

HOW TO READ THE RATIO

WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS BELOW THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE CALLS THAN PUTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE HIGHER...
WHEN THE BLUE BAR IS ABOVE THE ZERO LINE, THEN MORE PUTS THAN CALLS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AND THE MARKETS TEND TO MOVE LOWER...
THIS RATIO CHART WILL BE UPDATED EVERY DAY TO REVIEW THE NYSE PUT/CALL RATIO OVER THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK...

4. OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO
