Thanks - it looks to me like more upside as well. It might just run to the high 129 level now that it has broken above the 127 16 level. I might buy the futures on a dip otherwise I will just watch my naked puts expire! You seem to be on the right side of the curve for both the S&P and Bonds. The system you are using, you have your own flags based on technical indicators - correct? Or have you also dipped into the Neural Network game? I am planning to set up a system to time my short option and odd positional futures trading (I short OTM options in SP, bonds, oil and gold) and will likely play with a Neural Net system, though I confess I am a bit leery of overly complex systems and black boxes. However some of the systems seems to give one quite a lot of control and flexibility. I plan to look at these results in parallel with simple trend following and other systems. Quite interesting on the gaps - seems to be a power move on the bonds. Even if the S&P carries on up I would expect bonds to be strong. BTW panelists on WSW were very bullish on bonds, though I expect you saw that, and perhaps that even is a contrarian indicator <g>
