B19
Buy B19s occur when there is a
sharply down day followed by an equally sharp up day.
It is a 2-day reversal upwards Buy. It stems from the unexpected
way the DJI and NYSE
breadth reverse from down to up. Usually, after a steep decline,
the market is doing well simply
to stabalize. A reversal upwards is unusual. It often
portends a rally beyond the upper band.
This is a very helpful
signal, in that since 1956 there has not been a single case in the
21 Buy B19s of even a 1% paper loss. We should note that some of
the most recent Buy B19s
have not been very profitable. It may be that computerized
trading has reached a point where
this signal simply shows their short-term trading activities and
intentions. If this pattern continues,
the signal may have to be downgraded for intermediate-term traders.
However, when it occurs
with other Buy signals, a rally, at least, to the upper band is very
likely.
These B19
reversal occur often when politics intrudes, i.e. when government shifts the
quickly alters the slope of the playing field. We not only expect
these B19s to be more common,
as professionals turn to more to rapid-fire computerized trading, but
also in an economic down-turn
when insiders get wind that the Fed will intervene to stimulate the
economy.
To get a B19, the current day's NYSE
advances/declines must be over 3 and the same ratio
on the day before must be under .333. In most
cases, the current day's NYSE Up Vol must be
more than 4 times NYSE Down volume and the same ratio the day before must be
under .25.
There are some limitations, such as the DJI needing to be below the 1.7%
lower band so that
there is still upside potential. B19s cannot not occur too soon after a
Sell S9. In 2013,
B19 were added where there is a gap upwards on the day of the signal.
This suggests even more
upside energy.
There have been 30 completed Buy B19
trades. The average gain was about 9% at the time
of the next Peerless
Sell. 8 brought gains of more than 10%, but 8 gained less than 3%.
There was only
one loss with a Buy B19. If we take out the one case where the B19
called the bottom in 1974
and gained 72.9%, the average gain would be 6.9%. In the 12 cases when
the B19 occurs with the
DJI above a rising 200-day ma, the gains were more assured. In only two
cases were the declines
as low as 2.6% and 2.8%. In 8 of the 12 cases the gains ranged from
5.8% to 25.4%. The average
gain for B19s in a rising market were 8.8%, even without the benefit of the
single case of the Buy B19
bringing a 72.9% gain.

Here is a breakdown
of 2011 Peerless B19s. There is not much change. So the patterns
here seem likely to
continue.
31 BUY B19s: 1929-2011 by Month
The best Buy B19 signals occur in March and October. The worst seen to occur
in the
period Decmber to January.
Tax based buying and selling must add greatly to very short-term
volatility.

Buy B19's may not
occur within 10 days of each other to avoid whip-saws.
Important: They can reverse quick sell-offs as
well as long bear markets.
B19 Statistics
1. They average a 6.4% gain
when the next Peerless signal is taken as a sell.
2. 90% of B19s were
profitable at time of next Peerless Sell
Only three B19s were not profitable. The biggest loss was 3.2%
3. The biggest paper
loss using a B19 was 8% in 1947. All were between 3% and 8%.
There were paper losses in 7 of the 30 cases but none after 1955.
4. Buy B19s do
occasionally act as reversing Buys. The 13 cases are:

7/24/2002 8191.29 + .064
Only
5 of the 13 cases saw a DJI gain of more than 4.3%.
5. When the DJI recovered less than 2/3 of what it lost on the previous day,
the gains were
all smaller than 6%.
6. 21 of 27 B19s called
the bottom. All have done so, or nearly so since 1956.
7. There was only one
B19 case in December. It lost money.
8. There were 3 B19s in
2008, showing the many oversold market conditions.
9. Bear markets were
ended with B19s in 1966, 1974, 1980 and 2002.
10.
Steeply declining ROCs (less than -1.6) should be eliminated. This would exclude two
poor trades: 10/1/30 ( - .129 ) and 10/28/2008 ( +.008).
11. Do not use the Buy B19 when the DJI closes more
than 6.5% below the 21-day ma.
This would eliminate two poor
trades: 10/1/30 ( - .129 ), 4/30/31 ( -.037 )

In October 1930, users would have employed the Extreme
Bearish Mode. Thus the following
B19s would not have been allowed. This switch ended in mid
1932. There were two B19s
in this period. They should be eliminated simply by
seeing how fast the 21-day ma was
falling and how far below the 21-day ma the DJI was when
they occurred. The code will
be changed for B19s to reflect this.
