Especially in bear markets things often happen very quickly. I don't know if we are looking to get this sorted initially with OV pro - but it would be great to have a system which is almost looking out for signs of change, as we often don't see them(or don't admit to seeing them) when they happen ourselves. I looks like your research is very similar in nature to that of Van Tharp, he does a free monthly newsletter, where he gives his current view of the market type. Just to confuse us he has 5 market types, strong bear, bear, neutral, bull & strong bull - together with current volatility measurement. Would interested to hear your thoughts on these. If you are interested all his previous ones are available for free on the web. The last one done April 10th 2014 is on the following link thought that you may be interested. http://www.vantharp.com/Tharps-Thoughts/676_Apr_09_2014.html Personally with the right portfolios & strategies in place I don't feel we need to go into that much detail of guessing where the market is going, but just have a way of shortening the "time slices" when things may be changing as a wait of say a month may be too long. | |
