David, Your use of cycles is interesting.... Have you developed your own cycle rythms or are they off something like Fibs or Gann numbers. There's a great deal of cycle work from Kondratieff, Schumpiter....down to 5 min chart cycles. What are you using...probably something on WOW? For example those Lows in Sept/Oct 98 were serious points off entry for cycle plotting....what are you using off them and have the patterns held up? To me the KEY to Picking the next market high....has a great deal to do with that October date and it's extended cycle. Any Thoughts Here? Chip

Does anybody daytrade using Moving Avg. Crossovers? How many do you use and what are the numbers that work the best for you? Comments? J

We made a run at yesterday's high, but did not take it out. As noted in this post Message 8366357 a 22 day cycle high was set for yesterday. If we exceed yesterday's NYSE cash high, it would give an inverted cycle buy signal, and we'd probably move strongly higher into Monday. But of course, that's a big if, but ANYTHING is possible. That's the key to making money with this system... Remain opinion neutral and take the signals as they come. If yesterday's NYSE cash high is exceeded, I will close out all shorts and go long. For those who didn't short yesterday, the market is still a short as long as that high isn't taken out (around 614.10). Obviously, the closer a short is put on to that number, the better. Only 30% of cycles result in inverted signals, so the high probability bet here is to short this strength with a stop at 614.20 basis Nyse cash. David
