Lisa, The sell signal on VIX was for the Monday high, as I said on several posts... the VIX signals don't guarantee the EXACT high or low point, it's value is that from the peak of the signal to the bottom and vice versa is AT LEAST 5%... if it is any consolation, the VIX is STILL on a sell signal... but the high of 8122 on Monday remains the sell max for purposes of counting the 5%. Since I now have data back a year and a half ago, I find that when the market is strongly trending up, you will get valid sell signals on VIX but no buy signals... what that means to me is that once the market starts trending, the sell signals represent points to get out of long option positions and re-enter later on for intermediate signals. I still haven't worked out the details for the trending situation but I may need to do that quickly should the markets re-enter the bull run! Clear as mud??? Bill
