<<Warp, remember what happened in the next six months after April 2000? It wasn't good for the general indices>>

Sharp, I would typically use a high daily TRIN to trade the next couple of days:

Above is a study I did awhile ago in which you do nothing with your portfolio but wait for TRIN to exceed 2.5 (or 2 consecutive days > 1.9) and then trade the next day long.

You will also see on the same spreadsheet doing the same for TRINQ and going short on dates with low TRIN and TRINQ readings.

Trading long off of TRIN is the only strategy of the 4 that is viable.

I've used moving averages and some other indicators on sector mutual funds and ETFs, and they work okay.
Used them on Japan small cap funds, energy funds, and some tech ETFs, SOX, and the bank index, BKH.
