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

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 SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES

The main model is long the September SP at 3372.40 as of 8/17/20 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

MAJOR - - 4023.79 (date undetermined)

minor - - 3499.94

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3496.25

MAJOR - - 3421.809 and must close below this price on Wednesday, September 24th to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 3399.82

MAJOR - - 3372.43 (date undetermined)

minor - - 3245.44

MAJOR - - 3228.36 (date undetermined)

minor - - 3161.58

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...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the December gold at 1972.50 as of 8/28/20 on a VP buy signal...

The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

MAJOR - - 2344.29 and must close below that price on Tuesday, February 6th, 2052 (no typo) to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2199.52 (date undetermined)

minor - - 2108.52

MAJOR - - 1997.79 and must close below that price on Wednesday, September 3rd to confirm a new main model sell signal...

minor - - 1983.06

TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1975.10

minor - - 1972.58

minor - - 1866.40

MAJOR - - 1837.36 and must close above that price on Thursday, September 17th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 1822.41 and must close above that price on Tuesday, November 3rd to confirm a new main model buy signal...

minor - - 1728.71

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...

2. $VIX SIGNAL

CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...

Since January 1, 2016 there have been 21 completed trades for a total of 76.76 SPY points...

The two kinds of signals:

1) Buy and hold

2) Flat

THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AND HOLD AS OF FRIDAY, APRIL 24TH, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON FRIDAY'S CLOSE AT 282.97...
You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."

3. OPTIMIZED PORTFOLIO

STOP GUESSING AND BE YOUR OWN FUND MANAGER AND BE ON YOUR PATH TO FINANCIAL GROWTH!!!

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 SEPTEMBER mini VP PRICES
The main model is long the September SP at 3372.40 as of 8/17/20 on a VP buy signal...
The Two Main Model Trade Rules For All VP Trades:

MAJOR - - 4023.79 (date undetermined)

minor - - 3499.94
TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 3377.77

MAJOR - - 3372.43 (date undetermined)
minor - - 3245.44

MAJOR - - 3228.36 (date undetermined)
minor - - 3161.58

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...

DECEMBER GOLD VP PRICES

The main model is now long the December gold at 1983.00 as of 8/17/20 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 - - 2344.29 and must close below that price on Tuesday, February 6th, 2052 (no typo) to confirm a new main model sell signal...

MAJOR - - 2199.52 (date undetermined)
minor - - 2108.52

MAJOR - - 1997.79 and must close below that price on Wednesday, September 3rd to confirm a new main model sell signal...
minor - - 1983.06
TODAY'S LAST TRADED PRICE - - 1951.90

minor - - 1866.40
MAJOR - - 1837.36 and must close above that price on Thursday, September 17th to confirm a new main model buy signal...

MAJOR - - 1822.41 and must close above that price on Tuesday, November 3rd to confirm a new main model buy signal...

minor - - 1728.71

2. $VIX SIGNAL
CAUTION: This is a long term broad indicator and can ride through some very wide and frightening price swings...

The $VIX signal offers two kinds of signals, a long term buy and hold position signal and a flat position signal... there are no short position signals, the backtesting data and each position taken over the past 4 years is found on page 2 of the attachment... this model is an excellent guide for overall market direction... this is the ideal trading model for anyone who doesn't want to spend time placing and changing buy and sell stops, but would rather buy when the trend appears higher and then go flat when the market appears to begin trending lower... you're long or flat, as simple as that... remember, this is a long term broad indicator and can ride through very wide price swings... each position could be held for as long as several months before the next signal appears...
The $VIX signal will trade the SPY, but you could also trade any of the other major market indices on this signal, of course preferably the SPY since the study was done with the SPY...
Since January 1, 2016 there have been 21 completed trades for a total of 76.76 SPY points...
The two kinds of signals:
1) Buy and hold
2) Flat
THE CURRENT SIGNAL IS ON A BUY AND HOLD AS OF FRIDAY, APRIL 24TH, THE SPY WAS BOUGHT ON FRIDAY'S CLOSE AT 282.97...You can review the entire trade by trade performance on page 2 of the attachment under the tag name "Trade Index (TIX)."
