Sell S15s       December 30, 2013 Peerless   (C) 2013, www.tigersoft.com and William Schmidt, Ph.D. 

            Flagrant V-Indicator Non-Cofirmations of A DJI New High

             Sell S15s can only occur if the Annualized Rate of Change of the
              21-dma is under +.60.  They are not allowed in Year before a Presidential
              Election and aftter May.


              There have been only 17 Sell S15s since 1928.  Used to go short the DJI, the average gain
              would have been 10.1%.  8 of the 14 (58.8 %) would have produced gains of more than 10%.

      March 2013 edition - Sell S15s
   
                      S15s are based on the V-Indicator flagrantly not confirming a new high with the
     Annualized Rate of Change of the 21-dma being under +.60.   Sell S15s can
     occur only in the Presidential Election year and the first and second years after it.
     Sell S15s also can only take place in the first five months of these years. 

                    More exactly, the DJI makes a 50-day high with the V-Indicator negative and the
      current Accumulation Index value (IP21) not more than .10.  The signal of March 2013)
      should probably be eliminated, because the P-I is over 200 and the DJI is up more than 8.8%
      over the last 65 trading days. 

                    Because NYSE Up and DOwn Volume could only be estimated before mid 1966,
      the Sell S15s before 1965 are ultimately uncertain.  All the paper losses after 1965 are
      under 3.3%. So, I would work with a stop loss at 3.4%.

                    There have been 23 (or 25) completed Sell S15s since 1929.  The average decline
                    for the DJI on these S15 trades was  8.4% at the time of the next major
                    Peerless Buy.  None of these signals as now refined showed a loss.
                    After 1965, the biggest paper loss was 3.3% in March 1992.  The average
                    paper loss in all cases was 0.9%.

                   A cluster of major Sells, including S9s and S12s makes the Sell S15 more
                   bearish especially after two or more previous clusters of major Sells.
                   Reversing S15s in a Presidential Election year averaged  only gains of 3.3%. 
                   There were 6 cases.  All occurred between January and April 14th.

                                                 The V-Indicator Should Not Turn Positive
                                                          for More Than A Few Days

                  Usually after an S15, the V-Indicator stays and falls more deeply negative
after the Sell S15. See the tables and charts at the bottom of this page. The V-Indicator
can sometimes turn positive for a few days. When it turns positive for a week,
as in 1992 and 2008, if there is no Peerless Buy signal, consider the DJI decline delayed
and about to start in earnest as soon as the V-Indicator turns negative again. On the
other hand, if it turns positive and keeps rising for more than a week, I would suggest
doubting Sell S15 and waiting for new signal. This occurred in January 2012 and
may be occurring again in March 2012.

                  You can see below in the case of 2004 that the DJI may be as low as 1.7%
      over the 21-day ma with the P-Indicator as high as +251 and the A/D Line still making
      new highs.  The key here and in the second case, 2/11/2004, was that there had been a
      substantial rally and the V-Indicator was negative.   In addition, the P-Indicator
      and Accumulation Index did not confirm the DJI's new high by making highs of
      their own. It should be noted in these cases that the V-Indicator quickly turned
      negative.   l
                 Here are two examples.

wpeD.jpg (54903 bytes)
wpeE.jpg (17854 bytes)

                            In the next example, there was no S15.  This is because the Opct was too
                   high.   Still, the run upwards to recovery highs saw a complete non-confirmation
                   by the V-Indicator.  This shows the need to be vigilant, even when there
                   is no Sell S15.  The reason for not allowing the S15 here is based on findings
                   that show a Sell S15 that allowed such high OPct readings would suffer
                   more losses, as prices tend to rise in these cases.
