Sounds kinda like the TechStock Options sandbox (^_^)
>Slopes .. real damage has been done to the 200 (calander) day S&P500 simple moving average slope...
Gersh, your recent work (with slopes) is very interesting - indeed. I've seen some sharp drops before, but not one that persisted for 1,000 DOW points without managing a +3% bounce-rally (until now). We've tested that ~1060 line four times now - even more tests on an intra-day basis - and some big money has come in at that level to grab BlueChips every time so far. I sure hope that we have buried that July DownTrend; even so, the April DownTrend says that growth will be narrowly focused.

Quite a divergence now between the Yen/USD and the TYX.X bonds; something's gotta give. Bondz have hit the chart target of 5.45% and look short-term over-bought.
