Hi Peter, Speaking for me, I know MY use of the VIX is new and I am trying to find ways of using it. Thus far I have found (in a year's worth of data): - VIX runs opposite to the DOW... generally. - if you can draw a Raff channel or even least square line over a year's data and then 2 parallel lines to that/those lines, you can see a regular pattern in which the low line represents sells (VIX is currently BELOW that line) and the high line, around 32 at present, represents a buy area. - Bollinger bands can also be used to show buy and sell points. - A 17 day exponential or weighted MA can be helpful. - MACD can give some pretty good buy and sell signals. - more sophisticated indicators can also be helpful. IN MOST CASES, REMEMBER TO REVERSE THE SIGNALS.... a buy signal becomes a sell signal and vice versa! Bill PS We had an MACD signal to sell (which is a buy) several days ago and we should be getting a sell very soon) BWDIK?
