The B18 occurs when the P-Indicator has
been positive for 41 straight days.
The OBV-Pct must be at least .152.
The V-Indicator should be above +7.
There are times in th four year cycle
when buying on strength is too risky
and so these signals are not allowed in
Junes, Julys and Septembers. Momentum
strength cannot be trusted in Deceember
after the 23rd. During a Presidential
Election Year, no B18s are allowed except
in January, November and December.
Though allowed, be careful about using
the B18 when Peerless is already on a
Buy and the DJI is more than 2.4% over
the 21-dma.
New research shows that Peerless Buys are apt
to be unproductive in the first
year after a Presidential Election if a
Republican is in the White House
and quite profitable if a Democrat is in the
White House. There
were 5 profitable B18s in the post-Presidential
Election Year. A Democrat
was in the White House in all cases.

A Democrat is the White House produced much smaller gains
on Peerless Buys in the second year after a Presidential Election
than Republicans. This was clearly the case for B18s.

Buy B18s have become weaker since 2000.
Chasing momentum has become
less effective. As such, the
signals are mainly used now to show that breadth
has been persistently positive and, in
case Peerless was somehow still
on a Sell, that we would switch to a Buy.
There have been 43 Buy B18s since 1928. As a group, B18s averaged
+10.5% gain per trade. 17 of the gains were more than 10%, 12 were between
5% and 10%. In 11 cases, the gains were less than 5%. There were 3
losses,
all occurring since 2000. The biggest loss was 6.4%. This occurred in April
2010
and could easily have been avoided by heeding the dangers inherent in a completed
head/shpulders pattern.
The average B18 gain was only +2.3% in the 12 cases since 2000. There has
not been a 10% gain among B18s since 1996. In additon, the two biggest paper
losses occurred in 2010 (11.8%) and 2011 (5.7%)
8 of the 43 Buy B18s brought a paper loss of 3% or more. The best way to
avoid a bigger paper loss with these signals is to not chase and to wait for
a dip when they occurred more than 1.7% over the 21-day ma, unless they serve to
reverse a Peerless Sell signal, which is rare. 25 of 43 B19s occurred with
DJI more than 1.7% over the 21-day ma, 8 of these brought paper losses
of more than 2%.
Nearly all the B18s were are not reversing Buys. Rather, they usually reinforce
an already operative Peerless Buy. They usually are a sign of a healthy bull
market.
It is significant that there were no cases in the bear market years from 1929 to 1941.
There were 2 cases where they reversed an existing Peerless Sell. They
were important to employ, because the market in each case went significantly
higher.

Buy B18s in a Presidential Election year were rare and less bullish.
10/16/1944 +10.7%
10/18/1996 +12.1%
1/2/2004 +3.1%
12/1/2004 +2.5%
Avg = 7.7%
B18s in the year after a second year of a Presidential cycle (1942, 1946...)
produced
an average gain of +13.7% in the 14 cases. There was only one loss. These are
generally
the strongest Buy B18s, provided the V-Indicator is above +7.
Bull markets often have seen these Buy signals at an early stage.
Sustained
very good breadth is very bullish. Examples at the start of the
best bull markets: 1942-1944, 1949, 1954, 1958, 1985, 1995-1996
and 2003. Very often there is more than one B18 signal in an
upswing. The first brings the highest gains.
If we include the cases where the V-Indicator was 0-7, there
in 36 of the 61 cases there was an immediate rally after the Buy B18.
In 25 cases there would have been a paper loss after the Buy B18.
There were only 3 instances of paper losses of more than 5%. Continued
good breadth is the best safeguard against a "bad Buy B18" if the
DJI is already up more than 10% from its 4 month lows. Given the
average gain of 10% and the 36/61 probability of there being very little
or no paper loss, in most cases, these should be treated as automatic
Buys. But be careful if the V-Indicator is below 10 and/or if a bearish
head and shoulders or hands above the head price pattern develops.
Also, as a working hypothesis, the key Peerless indicators (P-Indicator, IP21and OP)
should be higher than say 12, .10 and .06, respectively.
Buy B18s in a Presidential Election year were sometimes problematic
if they were allowed. if allowed, they would have meant chasing a rally and
buying at the upper band on
10/16/1944 148.10
3/4/1988 2057.86 -1.1%
and were not needed when the market was exceptionally strong in
a Presidential Election Year, as Peerless was already on a Buy.
2/4/1972 +4.0% if allowed
3/3/1976 +3.1% if allowed
8/1/1980 +3.3% if allowed
2/15/96 0 gain if allowed.
1/2/2004 +3.1% if allowed
It is probably best for the overall system if users discard B18s from February through
September in a Presidential Election Year.
V-Indicator Needs to be above +7.
Readings by the V-Indicator of +7 are lower tend to bring smaller gains.
In these 17 cases, the average gain was only 3.6%. There was one other
case were a B18 reached +7: this did gain 36.8% on 3/3/95, but this was clearly
not a good point to sell, given the classic flat topped breakout into all-time
high territory. The Peerless program has been adjusted to disallow Buy B18s
when the V-Indicator is 7 or lower. You can see further below the cases of B18s that
are eliminated because the V-Indicator was not positive enough. They are
indented
and marked with an "X"
3 Bad Buy B18s.
The March 2013 version of Peerless eliminated each of these
by changing the P-I and OPct requirements.

+7 with the DJI not more than
3.9% over the 21-day ma. The signal is not allowed in June or July
and is not allowed in Januaries the year before a Presidential Election.
