mish, What does April max pain look like to you. So far all I checked was that QQQs seem to indicate 36. Does that change a lot over the course of the next 4 weeks? My guess would be that we will see it move from the 36 level within the next 2 weeks or so. Thanks. I think I answered this in a previous post, in far greater detail than below, but I will repeat as well as add a couple additional thoughts. ======================================================== No real way to guess now which way we head or how much max pain could change in the next two to three weeks. We seem to have a lot of people watching this now, although this board is not indicative of the population in general. Max Pain will have a spectacular failure sometime this year, probably twice. That failure will be in the middle of a strong trend (summer massacre perhaps), then again on any rise from that, and perhaps one other unforseen time. The fact that it has worked for 4 months now, perhaps suggests a failure is due. ggg Like the VIX and other indicators, it is a tool that has its place. It works best in sideways chop, and as long as we keep chopping about it should continue to work. M
