Buy B4 - December 24, 2013 Peerless (C) 2013 William Schmidt, Ph.D.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DJI Rockets Up Past Upper Band with either
Very
Positive P-Indicator Readings or
Sharply Improving Accumulation Index Readings.
There have been 56 cases of a Peerless Buy B4 since 1928.
The
average gain was 8.5%. 3 of the 56 would have resulted in a loss. The
biggest
average
gain for the Buy B4s occurred in the Year of Mid-Term Elections and
during
the first 10 days of the month.

Type-2
Buy B4s
In mid-2013, I discovered that DJI take-offs, as with stocks, often occur when
there
is a rapid improvement in the Accumulation Index and the DJI surpasses
its
normal 3.5% upper band. All the Buy B4s before 1942 were of this new type.
There
have been 16 instances when this new Buy B4s (marked as "Type 2) would
have
appeared. 11 of the 16 occurred since 1945. These Type-2 Buy B4s
averaged
gains of 6.4%. Their trading results were held back a lot by allowing
between
January and April. You can see below how low their trading gains were
compared
to those Buy B4s in the 2nd year of the Presidential cycle or Novembers.:

The Importance of Buy
B4s
Buy
B4s are important because they tell you when the DJI has probably
broken
out above the resistance of the upper band. If Peerless is already
on
a Buy, the Buy B4 will keep you bullish. If Peerless is on a Sell, the
Buy
B4 warns you to switch to a long position. A reversing Buy B4 is
not
common.
But it would have worked out well in the 6 cases below. They
brought
gains that averaged 7.6%. None of the reversing Buy B4s
would
have brought a loss.

Peerless - 5/12/2011
Buy B4s have been part of the
Peerless system since 1981.
They show us when a trading market is switching
to an up-trending market and
sometimes, it is necessary to take a small loss to make a bigger gain.
There have been 29 B4s since 1929. All took
place between 1942
and 2000. The average gain
was 9.3%. 93% were profitable.
` 13 of the 29 trades brought gains of
more than 9%.
9 of the 29 brought gains of
less than 4%. The biggest gains tended to
come in the year before a
Presidential Election and from November to
February.
Reversing Buy B4s are very powerful
and so must be heeded. They average
a gain of 17.1% at the time of the
next Peerless Sell. Only 6 of the
29 Buy B4s were reversing and
switched the stance of Peerless from bearish to bullish.
But in this, they are essential,
because they prevent being short, or out of, a strongly
rising market. When they
reverse a previous Sell, they show the need to
accept a small loss to make a much
bigger gain. Each such case was profitable
and there were no losses.

Waiting for a pullback is not
advised, unless the DJI has risen a long way and the
new Buy B4 is one in a series
of Buy B4s.
