Just for the record, I cancelled my IFT at the last minute so am staying 100% G....the lower it goes the higher the odds that the bull market top is already in place at 2119....but a break below 2040 will be needed to really start to believe that's the case. I'm just being extra careful here since the little countdown clock on my desk says 454 days to retirement (eligibility).

I noticed an unusually low tide today, in fact the ocean seems to be draining away....hmmm.... my tracker status is off reality currently for the first time in a few years. I'm in G but have an IFT left for March and have an IFT request in to get back to 100% C today, with the plan to get back out as close to this next peak as I can manage...just need to look for 5 waves up from today's low, completing somewhere above 2120.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

With the down trend today, will be watching for an entry. But as I recall last year around this time was not so good. Maybe this is just a pull back from last weeks news driven up action. This week should tell us if market goes higher. Just not sure what other option there is but to sit and wait. I'd like to wait for a little more pull back if it's coming. Will see... Best wishes to you and everyone on their investments!!!!! :smile:
 
Well not sure I see fire yet, but a little smoke clouding view. Slow Stochastic is low right now so am buying what I hope is the dip. Will see ... Going 100% S fund today. Hope to be positioned for April. I will probably stick in for awhile if it drops a little more next week. Yellin talks later today and I think some consumer price info coming in. Oh we'll... Best wishes to everyone on their investments!!!!!! DBAnnie :smile:
 
I jumped the gun! Made a premature buyin on Friday...mistake..had set my Stochastic to setting of 5,5.... Was playing with settings earlier in day ...when I made last minute decision I didn't notice it. That setting had us under 20... Dang! The default settings show about 43 ... Probably going further down. Gotta decide tomorrow if I should exit to safety or ride it out. :sick:
 
On a positive note, if you do bail Monday you won't be shut out for long. You get two new IFTs on Wednesday. :D

You didn't make a mistake, you made money :)

At this point, IMHO it's better to start out the month invested
 
Well guys.... Had to take some off the table today. Moved 50% to G. Will see how tomorrow goes. The market is closed Friday, and I will be out a few days. Feel better with lower risk. Maybe playing it too safe, but I am revamping my strategy and not feeling the most confident right now. Might pull the rest tomorrow. But I must say your encouraging words have given me a big lift!! Thank you so much!!! :smile:

Dang I wish I had read my thread before making the move...but that's okay. Maybe I'll stay partly invested a bit longer!! Best wishes to you all and to everyone on their investments!!!!!! DBAnnie. :D

P.S. I think I'm still steaming from not being in a couple weeks ago. Wanted to buy on that Tuesday and sell Friday...ugghhh Now that would've been awesome. I think I'm a bit off lately but will regroup. Time for a vacation!! :banana:Yup Judy... I need to party a little! JTH..I hope I make a bit today.

Here's a good article on Stochastic Settings by Investopedia.

Pick The Right Settings On Your Stochastic Oscillator (SPY,AAL)

I'm still on the ride! 50%. Will see how it goes today. I'm glad I pulled part out on Monday for a little change. Read some articles indicating oil will hit its peak next week and of course Greece may have some effect. Still toying with Stochastic settings. Thinking of using two Stochastics.. One as a entry indicator set to more short term setting and then different longer setting for exits. Of course would be used with other indicators. Best wishes to everyone on investments!!!!! :smile:
 
So what's all this stuff about full moon! Is that good or bad! I like the full moon!!! I'm staying in. Looked at charts this morn. F fund seemed good but.... Will see what the full moon brings. I might be howling at the moon!! Just not sure if it will be from pain or joy! Either way I'll have some company.

Best wishes to everyone on your investments!! :smile:
 
Speaking about the moon.

March 30, 2015: It's déjà vu all over again. For the third time in less than a year, sky watchers in the United States can see a total eclipse of the Moon.
The action begins at 3:16 AM Pacific Daylight Time on the morning of April 4th when the edge of the Moon first enters the amber core of Earth’s shadow. For the next hour and 45 minutes, Earth's shadow will move across the lunar disk, ultimately swallowing the entire Moon at 4:58 AM PDT.

Correction:

April 4, 2015: Total Eclipse of the Moon. This eclipse will be visible from North America. The eclipse will be best observed from the western states and provinces. The Moon will set during the eclipse for observers in the eastern regions. It will enter the penumbra at 5:00 a.m. EDT and the umbra at 6:15 a.m. The Moon will leave the umbra at 9:45 a.m. and the penumbra at and the penumbra at 11:01 a.m.

Maybe this thread will help you decide...

Check it out, we are rallying even faster...pts/min - Traders-Talk.com

That's a pretty ominous chart in my opinion, see what you think.

For the most part, I have found that the Fearless Forecaster has been very bullish lately. That post was a refreshing bearish change (it spoke to me :laugh: ).

I'm still waiting for the transports to tell me which way the market is headed - new high or correction. Should know by Friday.
 
I didn't get out Wednesday. Finally had a chance to look at charts late last night. Market just seems to be waiting for some news to react to, and agree with James E that it does look like a struggling market. No clear direction.

DWCPF is just inching its way up slowly for past 7 days or so. MACD is flat lined. Slow Stochastic (5,5 -like this setting recently for early entry) moving upward getting close to overbought. Price slightly above the 18 day SMA. SPX is in similar situation.

EFA has had a nice rise these past 6 days or so. Would like to buy in a bit the next time it takes a little dip closer to 18 day SMA, but must admit that learning more about the underlying EAFE not being hedged for currency exchange rates bothers me. But some folks making out like bandits these past few months. Might buy in a bit next time I get a chance.

$TRAN is very low. Thanks for the link James E. Would like to see it rise to at least 8798. Malyla made a great point about watching which way it breaks in the next couple days. Slow Stochastic moving upward due to last two days of action on this chart but at this point it still needs to show clearer direction.

Best wishes to you and everyone on their investments!!!!! :smile:
 
Feel uncomfortable with this lack of direction. I'm not so sure financials next week will be good and transports, while looking to move up are still near the lower Bollinger band. I need a rest!! I just bailed to G fund. Best wishes to you all on your investments!!!! :smile:
