META STOCK INDICATORS & TIMERS FOR METASTOCK USERS (.ZIP file)

Sell and Buy Signal Spreadsheets

For sale are two spreadsheets that include calculations for the major sell and buy signals for the Moon Run Report.

On the date of the Short to Intermediate Market Timer buy or sell signal, the data is received from Metastock and entered into the spreadsheet. The Series of Tops formation is not included in the calculation because it needs a visual look to see what the metrics are for previous tops.

The Russell 2000 data is used from 1987 to 2000 for the first spreadsheet. IWM data is used from 2000 to the present. The Russell 2000 spreadsheet need not be updated, and copies of the IWM and all future updates can be downloaded after the first purchase. Each spreadsheet costs $10, so a total of $20 for both and all future updates.

There is no guarantee of accuracy. No responsibility of loss from using the spreadsheets can be taken.

 

History

Since the 2018 printing of Before the Bear Strikes, the Accelerating New Lows and the Shortable Correction rules have been altered.  These corrections have dramatically altered how those two work, and the product has been enhanced immesurably. Needing a live test for each, the Accelerating New Lows was tested in 2020, when the pandemic bear market hit, and the Shortable Correction was tested in 2022, when inflation was reported. The Tsunami Indicator was verified in 2008, 2011 and 2018.  The Normalized New Lows was verified in 2015.

References to Normalized New Lows mean the Nasdaq New Lows adjusted for number of issues traded

When the Short to Intermediate Market Timer gives a sell signal, I look for these rules:

1) Accelerating Normalized New Lows
   a) Rate of Decline < 100
   b) VIX > 23
   c) Market Strength Indicator < 3.8 at the sell signal
   d) Accelerating New Lows formula > 50%

2) Fifty New Lows Rule
   a) Normalized New Lows > 50 at the top
   b) Market Strength Indicator < 4.5 at the top
   c) Market Strength Indicator < 3.8 at the sell signal
   d) VIX > 19 And VIX < 25 at the sell signal

3) Tsunami Indicator
   a) Normalized New Lows > 40 at the sell signal
   b) Rate of Decline > 190 from top to sell signal
   c) Market Strength Indicator < 4.5 at the top
   d) Market Strength Indicator < 3.8 at the sell signal
   e) VIX > 19 And VIX < 25 at the sell signal

5) Shortable Correction
   a) Normalized New Lows > 30 at the top
   b) Normalized New Lows > 60 at the sell signal
   c) Rate of Decline < 190 from top to sell signal
   d) Market Strength Indicator < 3.8
   e)  Accelerating New Lows formula > 40%

At a buy signal I look for the Pep Indicator:

Pep Indicator flashes a signal
   a) Pep Indicator > 3.8% means market strong enough to reinvest
   b) Pep Indicator < 3.8% means do not go long, market weak
