Hi Kevin I've been charting spx on 5 min tick chart and one tick chart. We have had a down trend for three sessions. It just hit resistance trend at 914. 900ish looks like bottmom trend. I think will meet support around 910, maybe a bounce. I also use stochastic crossover. Do you or Brad or any others use these trends for the index trades. paper traded the spxwb at 12:38 for 7 5/8. Thanks for any help you can give. during writing we have bounced. Kiwi

Good day Kevin and Brad---had a thought regarding your formula that you may want to check out. Since you and Brad enjoy intra-day/very short-term trading you may want to look at whether the formula or some variant thereof can be used to with intra-day data. For example, how well would the entry and exit points work on intra-day bars--say 30 min or 60 min--for scalping. As you know, I am not into day trading but I think it is worth some research, since you guys are so inclined. I would use the daily indicator as a filter and not trade against the daily trend when trying to do intra-day trades. Just a thought

Hi Kevin, At one time you also have used the FV. The futures seems like at a discount? Have you integrated (FV) into this new techniques? I seem to remember that for about a month to go before expiry, futures are about 3-4 pts over cash, and now the spread is less than 2. I don't think the current interest rate made the spread this narrow? Sergio
