    There are now solid uncontested buy signals across the board in the indexes. The long side of the S&Ps and Russell are Tuesday's best bets.

    since i'm not presenting an actual system but raw materials that are a step or two away from one, your question would be difficult to answer in anything but an exhaustive and time-consuming fashion. (not that it's an unreasonable question). but on an informal, re-check as needed basis, such as when i update charts for lectures, i'm finding they're humming along well this year, particularly the indexes. but again--"either-ors" only? calendar only? some combo? it gets complicated. suffice it to say, i'm convinced nothing is broken and am continuing to utilyse them in my own trading.

    The day of month indicator has just turned bullish in the indexes. The result is a net long bias in the calendar indicators. Most but not all of the other index signals agree. We should see an up move.

    I would have thought something else would have contributed to the bullish scenario: the mere fact that it’s the last trading day before Christmas. There is certainly buy biases in and around holidays, and a definite up tendency during the last week of the year. Surprisingly, though, my testing showed that if you went long from the open to close of the day before Christmas, you’d have slightly more losses than gains as well as a net overall loss. Index markets trade a full day on Friday.

    The bond complex is actually showing a more uncontested bias—to the sell side in this case. Remember that those pits close at noon and the electronic trade ends at 1 p.m., both Central Standard Time.

    Happy holiday everyone.

    All systems are "go" for continued up-action in the indexes. Aside from the fact that no individual indicator or broad signal category disagrees, we’re now in an especially historic bullish week. There may be something to the argument that this year won’t conform because we’ve already seen significant up-moves leading into the year’s end, but I’m inclined to trust the signals more than such quasi-fundamental analysis. My market of choice for Wednesday will be the S&Ps.
