The 'sell in May' signal last for around 6 months. More or less if you use the MACD to enter and exit. It's impossible to make any judgement on its effectiveness this year only 6 weeks into it(MACD triggered it in mid April actually). We could shoot to SPX 2000 in July and crash to 900 in October and the sell in May would be a total success. The nice thing about the sell in May signal is you can totally forget about the market and enjoy the summer.

I'm not absolutely certain but I think the MACD based sell in May was triggered around SPX 1560-1570 so if it is below that level in October-ish, it would be a good call.
