                         Annualized Rate of Change of 21-dma > -.60
                         DJI must be 3% to 5% below its 21-day ma. la/ma >.95 <.97

    11 earlier cases. Avg Gain = approx 10.2% 
                      Paper Losses in 8 of 11 cases.
                      Paper Losses of more than 4% in 3 of 11 cases

  The average gain after a Buy B5 is 10.5%. There were only 13 cases since 1928, but each was
   profitable.  The biggest gains occurred with the Buy B5s from November to February, averaging
   +14.1% in four cases. The other B5s were all much smaller.  From February to July, the B5s
   only averaged 2.8%. Paper losses were under 3% in 8 of the 11 cases.   There were single paper losses
  of 3%, 4% and 8%. 

  B5s usually take place with other Peerless Buys also occurring, especially B9s or B17s, either at the
  same time or in close proximty on a Peerless chart.

 Buy B5's should suppress other Sells for ten trading days, about two weeks.

  Buy B5s occur when the DJI closes 2% to 4.6% below the 21-day ma with either the
  Accumulation Index or OBVPct above -.03  With Buy B5s, we skip August and September,
  which is right before the weakest period in market's yearly cycle.  We also disallow the
   Buy B5 under certain other conditions.

Skip if there has been a Sell S9 or S12 within the last 35 days.
Skip if nether the current Accumulation Index or OBVPCT is less than 0.
Skip if the DJI gaps down more than 1.78% from previous day.
Skip if the DJI's ROC is under -.60 in case of OBVPCT positive NCs.
Skip if the DJI's ROC is under -.75 in case of AI positive NCs.   
Skip if the DJI is down less than 10.8% from high of last 79 trading days to today's low.

   A Buy B5 might have occurred on the 5/28/1929, but it was not
   allowed because the P-Indicator as -115.  When the P-I is adjusted
   for the relatively small number of stocks trading in 1929, it is
   5x greater.  The steeply falling A/D Line in 1929 would have made
   a Buy B5 on 5/28/1929 very suspect and would have been only
   applied to a limited number of DJIA-30 stocks.
DATA2829.BMP (1075254 bytes)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Buy B5s were not allowed until 1933 bottom
because extreme bearish mode should have been applied
in October 1929. The only B5 in this period would have 
lost 10.5% is taken on 4/29/1930 and not sold until S6
on 6/11/1930.

This marked a two month bottom and the DJI rose to 182, but then
fell to 162 in June 1949.  In third case selling at the apex of
a potential right shoulder in a broad head and shoulders pattern
would have helped. There was a head and shoulders top to have properly
sold on.  The A/D Line did not make a new high when this appeared.
              Paper Loss = 8%
Simultaneous Buy B9 
 
 When a head and shoulders pattern appears as it did in January
and February, it is best to sell when the A/D Line's uptrend is
broken when a head and shoulders pattern is present.  In this case,
it would have meant selling at 177.90 on 2/4/1949.  As you can see
from the chart below, this would have greatly improved trading this 
year.
