Here Comes The Bounce? - May 9, 2012

[Billy]

Hi Billy,

"The last consolidation was broken at Quarterly S1 (45.75) and Quarterly S2 is a logical temporary target for this selling wave."

I am wondering if the above statement can be generalized in your experience. ie. if consolidation happen @ [Q/M/S]N, then a likely support/resistance will occur @ the corresponding N[+/-]1 level.

Thanks.

When humans used to program their own inventory plans, it was fairly reliable. We can just hypothesize that modern algos were build with that experience. Anyway, the longer the calendar period of the support/resistance, the more important it is. We still have the massive resistance of YS1+SS1 (44.77) waiting before QS1 (45.75) could be retested. Without that longer timeframe hindrance, QS1 would have become a logical target.

Pascal,

The 20DMF will go in BUY mode if the OB/OS is above -30 end of day, correct?
What is today the level of porosity for a 20DMF CASH signal?

The porosity level is fixed at 0.11%. I did not back-test a variable porosity level.
If we cross over 0.11% at the close while the OB/OS stays below +30 at the close, then we turn neutral. If the OB/OS crosses above +30 by the close, then we turn to Buy mode.

Sorry to ask again, but is the OB/OS trigger not a move above -30 (minus 30) ?

The OB/OS signal allows to enter a "Short protected" mode when the OB/OS crosses below -30. This mode allows to force a BUY signal if we cross above OB/OS +30. This rule allows to enter a buy signal even when the OB/OS does not enter the oversold territory but bounces off from "close to oversold." This bounce is registered when OB/OS crosses above +30. The move between -30 and +30 is usually very fast, because this occurs when the whole market moves up and hence, all the sectors move up.

If the OB/OS for example comes down to -25 but then bounces from that level and above +30, then no Buy signal can be issued.

Billy,

Would you mind explaining how these are set? I think that I saw in previous posts that they are set at the end of the period, but then again, with software, these could easily be updated dynamically on a day to day basis. Can you educate me (apologize for my ignorance here) on how they are calculated. Thanks

It’s all explained in that thread.
