===============================================================
Created 2/25/2013
A Sell S11 signal results from a 10% rally from a 4 month
low with the
V-Indicator still negative. The DJI cannot be more than 3.8% above the
21-dma and must be at least 0.5% over the 21-dma. Sell S11s can only
take place between March and August. In addition, Sell S11s should also
occur when the DJI is up more than 9% from 65 days with the
P-Indicator above +170. Momentum and positive breadth then outweigh
the negative V-Indicator. (This was true in February 2004 and 2013.
Those signals are not allowed in the 3/13/2013 version of Peerless.)
The
failure of the February 2013 Sell S11 reinforces the general rule
that
Janaury take-offs nearly always rally until March, at least.
Sell S11 and S9 joined together to stop the
2003-2007 Bull Market. See how the V-Indicator
was negative after a 12%+ rally in the DJI.

The Sell S11 occurs when the DJI is up 11% to 20% from its 65-day low
but shows a negative V-Indicator even though the DJI is 0.5% or more
above the 21-day ma. They can only occur between February 20th and
August 31st but they also are not allowed between June 20th and July
5th. This is in keeping with Arhtur Merrill's research on when the
"Summer Rally" usually starts. Note that the DJI must be above its
65-dma. It probably should be required to be above its 200-day ma.
The 1929-1933 data shows that a Sell S11 at this time is more profitable
but also runs a much higher risk of reaching a 5% stop loss, which
we would nornally want to use with Peerless Sells.
Usually by itself this is not a powerful signal, but it is
reliable and produces
only small paper losses. It also gives Peerless a way to call tops
like the one in May 2010, when Peerless gave no other Sell signal.
The typical gain is 6.7%. We only have
accurate data to create the
V-Indicator for the period from mid 1965 onwards.

February and Perhaps March Sell S11s Are of Limited Value
Very small gains have accrued to Sell S11s in February and March:
+2.3%, +2.8%, 5.6% and 3.6%
Their paper losses were very small, too:
0. 0.8%, 1.2%, .0.3%.
A paper loss for the 2/22/2013 above 2.2% is not consistent with these
Sell S10s. February and March Sell S11s are probably not worth applying.

The
V-Indicator can only be estimated for the period before 1965
because Barrons did not keep NYSE Up and Down Stocks' Volume from the
NYSE
Advances and Declines data. The software does not allow S11s between
1928
and 1965.
