Re Bradley Turns: Noting the importance given to Bradley Turn dates by many on this and other threads, thought I ought to try to bone up on them.

I first tried to identify MAJOR turning points ( in the COMPX ) through September this year, and I came up with 5: 1/3 at 2251 low; 1/24 at 2828 high; 4/4 at 1619 low; 5/22 at 2328 high; and 9/21 at 1387 low. ..... I could find only two Bradley turn dates within 2 trading days of those turning ponts: a Geo, on 1/26 -- signalling a down turn; and a Helio, on 4/4 -- signalling an up turn. NO OTHER Bradley turns have come within two days of the major turning points so far this year..........So, 2 hits out of 5.....out of a total of 21 Geo and Helio dates.............not very impressive...

I next tried to identify all COMPX turns this year leading to a contrary move lasting more than 3 days -- I found 14 such turning points. I then found:
1. 6 Geo Turns within 2 trading days of actual market turns...This was out of a total of 9 Geo
dates through September this year...... 6 out of 9... 67%..........Not a bad record... ........
(interesting that of the 6 "hits", 3 signalled downturns and 3 signalled upturns).
2.Only 4 Helios (out of a total of 12) fell within 2 trading days of actual market turns........4 out
of 12 Helio dates....33%..........Not a good record ( interesting here that all of the 4 Helio
"hits" signalled upturns)

Not really sure what one should conclude from all this, but guess I would tentatively have to say: 1) Bradley Turn Dates are of only marginal usefulness in signalling market turns; 2) Bradley Turn Dates may be more useful in signalling very short-term minor moves than in signalling longer major moves; 3) for some reason, Geos may be more useful than Helios..... (Will have to think more about this but thought I'd go ahead and pass it on FWIW)
