Hi Kevin,
The market seems like it is entering into a 'correction' phase, and ROVI - your screen's top pick right now - seems to be pulled down with it.
I don't know if the question has been asked to you before, but In cases like this when the S&P has hit a high, would you advise going ahead and buying your screen's top pick (against the grain), or is it better to wait until the market overall (S&P) dips?
--- As well, can you create a backtest and give us the results to determine which move is better?
I would predict that it's better to have the force of the S&P behind you, versus against you, which would lead me to avoid buying ROVI for another 3-4 weeks (2nd week of November 2009).
What do you think?
Thank you Kevin.

A good place to check the S & P 500 trend is Bulkowski"s site. Plus there is other worthwhile info.

++++++++++++++++++
Several people has asked this - I have not backtested to see if it makes any difference.
I backtested this from 2002 forward, which contained almost every type of market, including the past year's brutal decline. Overall results still clock in at 80+% wins, average yield at 9.25% per trade, holding stocks an average of 56 days.
Will selecting on and off periods for using this improve the odds? I don't know ...

Kevin,I have a few questions.1)I'm watching VMI,which has confirmation.It broke a lower BB,now it has a green day up.Are you entered in the position already or are you waiting for next day follow through? 2)When and where exactly,would you be entering the position?3)Whats your downside risk,in dollar terms,points,percentages? 4) The 80% back test win rate has a 56 day avg holding period.Have you ever plugged in a 1-10 day holding time to see what the win rate would be?5)On the back test itself,is there any stop loss at all,in any terms?6)Whats your most profitable time frame holding period? 7)How long have you been trading this method? 8)Are you using limit orders or market orders to enter & exit? Thank you for your time.Mike..........
