>>Perhaps Jenna mentioned it also, but it's a standard program trading ploy. A sell signal hits and you short the stocks with the weakest RSI and vice versa<< The concept of buying stocks with strong relative strength is one that has been around a while. What I was trying to say is that it was a post on those lines that gave me the idea of trading some of the thinly traded indices using a surrogate which is more liquid. The BKX and SOX seems to work well with my system -- though options on both indices are not as liquid as I'd like to see them -- just in case I have to bail in a hurry.
