Previous SGS Status

SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
SGS Performance Data 
Why Market Timing Is A Must


As of close last Friday, as shown above, SPY has retraced back half of its decline from its all-time high (479) to its low of last October (348).  Also, on its weekly chart above, a big bad bear flag has been formed.  There is a good chance that SPY start to decline again due to poor earnings reports this week, breaching its lower price channel and confirming the bear flag.  In that case, SPY very likely declines to test its last October low in the next couple of weeks.


SGS Market Timer

As of the close of last Thursday (4/21), the value of SGS was calculated to be -98.  The status of SGS remains SHORT.

The performance of SGS for 2023 has been terrible.  That's due to the fact that SGS is a trending following and lagging timer.  Trend following timers fall apart by whipsawing in and out of the market when there is no trend in the market.
