Going Back To Tried And True

Going Back to Old SGS_LT Timer

Sometime in early 2015 I changed SGS Market Timer from a lagging market timer to a leading market timer.  That was a mistake and I'm going back to old SGS.

Generally speaking, lagging timers work well in a trending market and leading timers work well in a trading market.  When I switched to a leading market timer in 2015, my expectation was that indices would stay in a narrow trading range.  What actually has happened since Oct 2014 is that indices have traded in a relatively wide trading range, but up and down swings within that range have been quite sharp and trending.

I am slowly getting back into the swing of things.  I have no plan for now to post on daily basis, unless something significant happens.   I will have my regular weekend post on my blog (updated usually on Sundays) and hopefully with charts and analysis starting next weekend.


Long Term Outlook (Weeks to Months):

SGS_LT Market Timer Status:  LONG 
Long as of close of  March 18, 2016
SGS_LT is a Long Term (weeks to months) Timer
Current Long Term Portfolio (2016)
Past Long Term Portfolios (2008-2015)


Indices are quite overbought and I expect a sizable sell off sometime this coming week.


My Plan:

My plan is to close my long term short positions.
