HI MICHAEL! Thanks for all your posts. I forgot how i stumbled onto them but i went back and read some posts about VIX and it was interesting to see how you use it. At least so far the VIX-signal has not been confirmed and the mania just continues carrying the indexes higher. It's also interesting how "they" gap the indeces higher and then nothing happens all day we stay on razor's edge until maybe the last half hour like yesterday. You were talking about getting short and was wondering what kind of signal you were looking at. I know that a break under 10850 on the dow would be a clear sign but yesterday we were hanging there and since the bears didn't have enough power to push it down we went up. Today the reverse could happen or we just wait for the MA's to catch up.Will be interesting. I noticed that you use a similiar method than TERESA(aka ispec). Read about your entry technique but was wondering how you decide to take profits? It's my decisive weakness to take profit way too early but otherwise i use a similiar entry technique. Some hints would be really appreciated! Stefan
