Hi Mike,

Thanks for the update.

In order to track the Market Exposure Model and develop my understanding, I decided I needed to break things down very granularly and put it into a spreadsheet, interpreting and judging each criteria day-by-day.

For now, I am focused on confirming the rules as applied to $COMPQ. Once, I have some confidence that I understand and am applying the rules properly; I will look to apply them across the other major indexes shown on the other tabs. For each rule, I have inserted comments in the .xls that cite to your previous notes on the model.

I am attaching my work-in-progress .xls spreadsheet that I am using for tracking the Market Exposure Model. If anyone in this community is trying to follow along, please feel free to use it. My hope is that others will help quality assure (QA) this model and correct any errors that I have made. Please let me know if anyone finds errors or has Q’s.

Here are a few areas where I am confused/uncertainty:

1. The Power Trend day count can start before the FTD, right? Your thoughts on a Power Trend Day following Nov 15 close? I count Oct 12 to Nov 15 as 25 days of 21ema over 50d sma? Your description on Nov 11: "We make most of our money in Power Trends and this switch is designed to maximize your ability to withstand the volatile nature of the market when the money making possibilities are the greatest"
a. Can you confirm that we are in Power Trend mode on $COMPQ?
b. If so, can you comment further on “we make most of our money in Power Trends”

2. Can B6 happen repeatedly during an advance? Is it reset by any S signals during an advance?

3. In the original description of B10 (Oct 24 post), how do we apply ”When the count drops to 4 as long as the index closes above the 21-day ema and the Buy Switch is On”?

4. In the original description of S11 (Oct 24 post), what does “spread” mean? How is the intraday high determined?


Thanks in advance,

Shawn
