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 JUNE mini VP PRICES

The main model is long the June SP at 3872.25 as of 5/20/22 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...

JUNE GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now short June gold at 1845.20 as of 5/31/22 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

MAJOR - - 2256.47

MAJOR - - 2173.96

The above is a price map 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...

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 29 completed trades for a total of 169.01 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS now ON A FLAT AS OF TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 2022, THE SPY WAS SOLD ON THE CLOSE THAT DAY AT 416.10...
NOTICE: The $VIX signal has an extreme outside range from between +6.00 to -6.00, when the value moves above zero the signal gives a BUY, below zero the signal gives a FLAT...
THE CURRENT $VIX VALUE IS -0.28 AS OF TODAY'S CLOSE, YESTERDAY'S CLOSING VALUE WAS -0.84, THE $VIX VALUE FOR TODAY IS MORE BULLISH THAN YESTERDAY...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

NOTICE: The $VIX signal has an extreme outside range from between +6.00 to -6.00, when the value moves above zero the signal gives a BUY, below zero the signal gives a FLAT...
THE CURRENT $VIX VALUE IS -3.16 AS OF TODAY'S CLOSE, YESTERDAY'S CLOSING VALUE WAS -3.11, THE $VIX VALUE FOR TODAY IS MORE BEARISH THAN YESTERDAY...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."
