ST,

I just finished packing up for a week-long vacation. Will look at your symbols when I return and will give you some more.

As far as the 4 DeMark entries I know they are:

1. Enter immediately after the "13" occurs
2. Enter after a CLOSE higher than the CLOSE 4 days ago (BUY)
3. Enter after a CLOSE higher than the HIGH 2 days ago (BUY)
4. Enter on the first day that CLOSES higher than it OPENS (BUY)

Reverse 2,3,4 for sells.

Clearly, Tom does not have a solid entry mechanism for the sequential and this is indicated by the relatively large number of entry techniques he is proposing. Remember, a trade does not begin until you ENTER the market and this in my opinion is the weakest link of this indicator. Because I believe the sequential has merit I plan to spend some time when I am back looking for a better entry which would hopefully increase the successful trades.

Claud's moving average cross-over sounds interesting but without some backtesting he (and we) will never know.

Best of luck next week, this market is looking like its ready for further increases in volatility.
