What is it about rocket blast offs that you don’t understand?

Most readers (most professionals) are unaware of the four percent system. To oversimplify, when the index (various including mainly Value Line) surges by four percent in a week, buy. When the index drops by four percent in a week, sell. Mechanics and engineers can see the specifics of this system in our GGU folder: http://www.edwards-magee.com/files/ggu/systemfourpercent.pdf. The Dow rocket just shot into space in a week that recorded over 5% gains, snapping shut the bear trap with a clang (or a ka-ching). Does this make sense?

Not a certainty, but a certainty that we are in a sideways trading market. Long term investors are protected by the Variant 1 wave low stop.

Technicians note that a failed signal, followed by a signal in the opposite direction, is a high probability bet, meaning that today’s cancelation of yesterday’s power bar presages further downside.

Belaboring the obvious–downwave ends.

Power bars like this almost invariably mark the end of downwaves. Meaning traders who are short will now see their profits eaten if they don’t reverse. It is largely a futile exercise to ask why this is occurring. It doesn’t matter why. It’s technical. The music stopped and the traders are running for chairs. Shorts now will be left holding the old maid card.
