THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

The main model is now long the SP at 2834.00 as of 3/29/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP JUNE mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the SP at 2862.75 as of 3/22/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 2875.803 and must close below that price on Wednesday, May 22nd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 2785.21 NEW

minor - - 2717.22

MAJOR - - 2656.88 and must close above that price on Thursday, June 27th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

APRIL GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the April gold at 1301.00 as of 3/15/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 1384.36 and must close below that price on Tuesday, April 16th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1356.11

minor - - 1333.52

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1308.70

minor - - 1300.93

MAJOR - - none and must close above that price on none to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP JUNE mini VP PRICES

The main model is now short the SP at 2862.75 as of 3/22/19 on a VP sell signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily... knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points... you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP JUNE mini VP PRICES

The main model is now long the June SP at 2834.00 as of 3/21/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 2875.803 and must close below that price on Wednesday, May 22nd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2860.50

minor - - 2834.02

MAJOR - - 2770.94 and must close below that price on Thursday, March 21st to confirm a new main model sell signal... EXPIRED TODAY

minor - - 2746.52

minor - - 2697.71

MAJOR - - 2645.72 and must close above that price on Wednesday, May 15th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

PLEASE NOTE: It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map... the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

APRIL GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the April gold at 1301.00 as of 3/15/19 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

1) Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...
2) Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - none and must close below that price on none to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1333.52

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1309.10

minor - - 1300.93

MAJOR - - 1282.32 and must close above that price on Friday, March 22nd to confirm a new main model buy signal...

SVP - - none

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market... those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals... today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

  1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!! 

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW   

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily...  knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points...  you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

SP JUNE mini VP PRICES             

The main model is now long the June SP at 2834.00 as of 3/18/19 on a VP buy signal...    

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

 1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...

2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

 MAJOR - -   2875.803 and must close below that price on Wednesday, May 22nd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

We're back up! Sorry for the inconvenience. After 5+ years of daily posting, our database had grown too large and became corrupted. I will try to re-create some more history in the near future .. but each new post going forward will be our new history. As always, please let us know if you ever have any problems, concerns, or questions. Here's to our shared success! (I'm holding a rocks glass of Maker's Mark whiskey in my right hand to celebrate) I have added some history below this post just to get us started again. ANYONE can see how well this Trading System works by scanning down through history and seeing the stock pick recommendations and then seeing how well they did (or did not do).  Total transparency here! Of course we have the multitude of subscribers that can see all of the most recent, real-time posts that also keep us honest.  

For Friday, March 15

  1. VP PRICE MAPS
THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!!    THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW      The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily...  knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...   Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points...  you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...   SP JUNE mini VP PRICES                The main model is now long the June SP at 2746.50 as of 3/8/19 on a VP buy signal...         The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:   1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal... 2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...     MAJOR - -   2875.803 and must close below that price on Wednesday, May 22nd to confirm a new main model sell signal...     minor - - 2834.02   TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2813.00     MAJOR - -   2770.94 and must close below that price on Thursday, March 21st to confirm a new main model sell signal...     minor - - 2746.52   minor - - 2697.71     MAJOR - -   2645.72 and must close above that price on Wednesday, May 15th to confirm a new main model buy signal...     The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market...  today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...   PLEASE NOTE:  It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map...  the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...       APRIL GOLD  VP PRICES     The main model is now short the April gold  at 1301.00 as of 3/14/19 on a VP sell signal...     The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:   1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal... 2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...   MAJOR - -  none and must close below that price on none to confirm a new main model sell signal...       minor - - 1333.52     minor - - 1300.93   TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1295.80 MAJOR - -  1282.32 and must close above that price on Friday, March 22nd to confirm a new main model buy signal...     SVP - -  none   The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market...  those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals...  today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

  1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!! 

 

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW   

 

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily...  knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

 

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points...  you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

 

SP JUNE mini VP PRICES             

 

The main model is now long the June SP at 2746.50 as of 3/8/19 on a VP buy signal...    

 

 

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

 

1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...

2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

 

 

MAJOR - -   2875.803 and must close below that price

on

Wednesday, May 22nd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

 

 

minor - - 2834.02

on

Wednesday, May 15th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

 

 

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market...  today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

 

PLEASE NOTE:  It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map...  the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

 

 

 

APRIL GOLD  VP PRICES  

 

The main model is now short the April gold  at 1301.00 as of 3/8/19 on a VP sell signal...  

 

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

 

1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...

2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

 

MAJOR - -  none and must close below that price on none to confirm a new main model sell signal...

 

 

 

minor - - 1333.52

 

 

minor - - 1300.93

 

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1293.30

 

MAJOR - -  1282.32 and must close above that price on Friday, March 22nd to confirm a new main model buy signal...

  1. MOMENTUM INDICATORS AND CYCLE FINDERS 

 

ALL MOMENTUM INDICATORS AND CYCLE FINDERS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS EMAIL

 

See the attachment for all comments...  the momentum indicators and cycle finders are only for active subscribers...

 

TRADING RULE

 

When both the momentum indicator and cycle finder are moving in the same direction, then the trade risk for that market is reduced...

 

 

  1. TUTORIAL

 

 

The Main Model Formula

 

The main model formula is specifically designed to determine precisely and to the exact market price where the market is most likely to reach complete buying and/or selling exhaustion, there is no guessing about it.  This is why the market almost always backs away from those VP points after reaching them, at least for 10 to 12 points before resuming the trend...  also, at those VP points, the market is the most vulnerable to a legitimate trend change.

 

Light Positions:

 

It's always wise to hold only a light position in order to tolerate the wild price action of this market...  also, if you're not nimble with these markets, then you may want to wait until the market closes for the day to be sure that any new signal is confirmed, this will eliminate all possible mid day whips...  to be safer overnight, consider using an exit stop for capital preservation...

 

Trailing Stops:

 

Also, trailing stops are completely individual, it is presume that subscribers would have their own personal strategy on how and when to enter and exit the trade, these market can often be vicious...  the VP points tell you where and if the market is about to move in one or another direction...  for myself, I like to take profits at any time I get the sense I'm satisfied, I don't need to ride out every signal all the way to the last stop, it's really not necessary...

 

Trading Strategy:

 

Also, if you're having difficulty with these markets, I strongly urge that you consider a combination of the Hoban Rule and the 1/3 Rule to enter the trade positions, or just wait until the next morning to find a comfortable place to enter the trade, there's never a hurry...  this will eliminate all whips...

 

HOW TO USE THE OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO

 

The entire listing as presented is a widely diversified portfolio of varied market interests, and we know that wide diversification is the key to reducing market risk in any portfolio...  therefore, the key to legitimate long term profit with this portfolio is to have positions widely and even distributed among as many of the different market groups as possible...  in other words, do not focus on only one market or favor one market over another, do not attempt to pick winners and losers with a heavy position in one market and a light position in another, one should invest the same dollar amount into each position...

 

Commit between 2% and 2.5% of your entire account to any one position and no more or less than that, this way your dollar risk will be evenly distributed among all markets...

 

Participate in as many markets as possible, treat them all the same, this will further reduce your risk and increase your likelihood for profit...

 

Upon entry of any new position, the initial exit stop is a 2% risk for that position, plus or minus a few ticks, 3X markets should use a 4% initial risk exit stop...  if you get stopped out, then that's the end of that trade, do not attempt to chase that market, just wait for the next signal opportunity, it will come soon enough...  if you are not stopped out, then the trailing exit stop will rise as the market also rises...  this will allow you maximum gains for any active position for as long as that market rallies...

 

About 1 in 6 or 1 in 7 new positions are stopped out at the initial exit stop, the other positions quickly recoup that 2% loss and generates further gains...

 

The optimized model allows the position to remain ongoing for as long as possible until weakness begin to show itself...

 

Several of the 3X leveraged ETF instruments are listed in the optimized portfolio upon request, but be very cautious if you trade any of the 3X leveraged ETF instruments, the price decays rapidly and is not a true investment market, it's only a near term hedge instrument...

 

 

BRIEF TUTORIAL OF MAIN MODEL APPLICATIONS:

 

The SP confirmation close ALWAYS refers to the mini contract 4:15 pm futures closing price...  we have discontinued using the large contract since the volume for the large contract has diminished significantly and therefore may give false signals...

 

The Confirmation Price

 

The confirmation price is a specific market price beyond which the market must close in order to confirm a new main model buy or sell signal...  the confirmation price is not a top or bottom picker, it is not designed to get you into a new position right at, or near, the top or bottom tick...  but rather, it tells you that the trend has more than likely changed direction with a high degree of reliability...  as has been demonstrated with better than a 98% reliability, the confirmation price confirms that the market trend has legitimately changed direction and that a new trend has just begun...  very often, a buy confirmation price may seem so far above the market that taking a new long position at that high level seems risky...  the same can be said for taking a new short position at a sell confirmation price...  but factually, these price points are the most ideal place to enter a new position since these confirmation prices occur where most people are likely to take new erroneous positions in the trend that is just ending...  this is why the market moves so explosively after the price is confirmed, e.g., the new short holders are scrambling to cover or the new dip buyers are selling out rapidly...

 

 

The VP Price

 

The VP, or Vertical Price, is NOT a target, the market is not required or expected to reach any VP price...  however, if reached, the VP price represents where the buying/selling has stretched to its maximum exhaustion point, at least temporarily, and a change in trend is very likely...  VP prices behave like magnets, they attract the market price, and when the price touches the VP point, then the polarity reverses and repels price...  all this market ever does is ping pong between VP prices...

 

The main model formula is specifically designed to determine precisely and to the exact market price where the market is most likely to reach complete buying and/or selling exhaustion, there is no guessing about it.  This is why the market almost always backs away from those VP points after reaching them, at least for 10 to 12 points before resuming the trend...  also, at those VP points, the market is the most vulnerable to a legitimate trend change.  Therefore, when the market trades through those VP points and then backs away and closes on the other side of it again, there is a very high likelihood of a trend reversal at that time...  these VP point are like magnets, they pull and attract the price until the VP is reached, and then upon reaching the VP it then reverses polarity and repels price...  at that point, the market can back away and confirm a new trend signal or return to the VP and resume the original trend...  this is where the main model determines the buy and sell confirmation prices...

 

The Floor/Ceiling Price

 

The floor price is always there in a down trend, the ceiling price is always there in an up trend...  these specific prices are rarely mentioned because the market rarely reaches them...  these are not VP prices but can be treated the same as a VP price except floor and ceiling prices change every day while the VP price does not...  a close beyond the floor/ceiling price should be considered a second buy or sell confirmation signal...

 

How To Read The VP Price

 

If the market touches and then moves away from the VP very quickly and doesn't return, then this typically indicates a market reversal, but if the market moves away from the VP and then returns within a day or two, maybe sooner, then the move is not over and the market is likely to continue in its current trend... repeated visits to a VP suggests the move is not yet over...

 

A Suggestion On How To Enter A Position On A New Main Model Signal

 

One way to enter a new signal trade is to take only 1/3 position only after the market trades through the confirmation price by a few points...  after that initial position is taken, let the market do what it does all day...  then, late in the day, if the market is still confirming the signal, then add the second 1/3 position...  and then, on the close take the final 1/3 position...  your average entry price will be above/below the confirmation price but the whips will be significantly reduced...  this is a method I use for myself very often...

 

Another way to enter a new position is to wait for the actual confirmation on the close, and then take the new position...

 

 

Rejected Buy/Sell Signals

 

Rejected buy and/or sell signals are typically followed by a sharp market move in the opposite direction the following day, this occurs as a general rule...  a rejected sell signal is typically followed the next day by a sharp rally...  as well, a rejected buy signal is typically followed the next day by a sharp decline...  however, if the sharp rally/decline does not occur, then you can expect to see the market make another attempt at that buy/sell signal...

 

 

THE LT PRICE AND MOMENTUM GRAPH

 

The momentum line very closely correlates with the market price...

 

THE CYCLE (CF) FINDER FOR THE SP:

 

The Cycle Finder captures the day to day zigzag movement of the market within each broader up and down cycle which is shown with the LT momentum graph...  the ideal time to buy is when the LT momentum line has bottomed and/or is still moving higher and the Cycle Finder has also bottomed...  a lower risk selling or shorting opportunity occurs when the Cycle Finder and the momentum line are both moving downward...  I find this particular indicator to be highly valuable in taking low risk market positions...

  1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!! 

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW   

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily...  knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points...  you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

 

1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...

2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

 

1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...

2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

 

MAJOR - -  none and must close below that price on none to confirm a new main model sell signal...

 

 

 

minor - - 1333.52

 

 

minor - - 1300.93

 

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1288.10

  1. VP PRICE MAPS

THE VP SIGNAL MAPS FOR THE SP AND GOLD ARE FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND NIMBLE NEAR TERM TRADER!!! 

THE VP PRICE MAP FOR TOMORROW   

The VP map tells you everything you need to know, consult the map daily...  knowing the map and the two key trading rules will make you a much more savvy trader, so it is extremely important to be familiar with the VP map...

 

Secondary Vertical Prices (SVP) are for the aggressive trader who is looking for an additional edge on additional exhaustion points...  you will notice that the market responds as well to the SVP as to the standard VP points and are traded the same, but for now the main model will use only the standard VP points for official main model signals...

 

SP MARCH mini VP PRICES             

 

The main model is now long the March SP at 2710.50 as of 2/12/19 on a VP buy signal...    

 

 

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

 

1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...

2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

 

 

MAJOR - -   2833.56 and must close below that price

on

Wednesday, March 27th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

 

Minor - - 2817.41

 

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 2791.00

 

MAJOR - -   2766.32 and must close below that price

MAJOR - -   2734.73 and must close below that price

on

Friday, August 2nd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

 

minor - - 2617.87

 

 

The above price map is listed in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market...  today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...

 

PLEASE NOTE:  It is vitally important to know where the market is on this map at all times, the main model buy and sell signals are generated only from this VP map...  the trade rules, which you probably already know by now, are very simple and are explained below...

 

 

 

APRIL GOLD  VP PRICES  

 

The main model is now long the April gold  at 1282.30 as of 2/20/19 on a VP sell signal...  

 

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

 

1)  Any time the market trades above any overhead VP price and then closes below it, this would confirm a new main model sell signal...

2)  Any time the market trades below any lower VP price and then closes above it, this would confirm a new main model buy signal...

 

MAJOR - -  1343.74 and must close below that price on Thursday, February 22nd to confirm a new main model sell signal... expired

 

 

 

minor - - 1333.52

 

 

minor - - 1300.93

 

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1288.20

 

MAJOR - -  1282.32 and must close above that price on Friday, March 22nd to confirm a new main model buy signal...

The above is a price map in descending order of all currently active vertical prices above and below the market...  those in red were generated on previously confirmed buy signals, those in green were generated on previously confirmed sell signals...  today's closing price is also included to provide you with a GPS type reading of where the market currently is in relation to all VP points on both sides of the market...
