oh man, my apologies. I thought you were serious. ha. wanted to share with you what I am going to use as an entry point on tvix. pull up this filter and look specifically at the stochastic SMI. when the blue line crosses above the red line, I will use it as an entry. the more spacing between blue and red after the cross, the longer the hold time. Pull up SDRL and look at the blue line crossing above the red as an example. Then just plug in TVIX and over the next week wait for the cross up above red. It's not super sophisticated but it is what I am going to use as an entry point.

Always the critic but it's my nature. Wouldn't the ift(2,1) seem more reliable
than the stoch? If you switch it to weekly stoch. It brings up Oil. Last time it pulled
it up Oil went from 10 to 13.

PThomas, thanks for your suggestion regarding TVIX. The backtest of that screen on TVIX isn't terribly promising until/unless the gap becomes pronounced, but I certainly don't mind adding another screen to my daily regimen. Never too old or stubborn to learn, or appreciate the advice of others.

You're welcome. and i think your assessment is correct. It's not like if the blue line crosses over the red line you are in for a $1 spread. I use it more or less to manage risk on trades. i.e. if I actively manage the trade and enter right when I see some spacing, it might not be a big trade but I will have the opportunity to get out without getting killed.

I sometimes day trade but mostly swing trade. Day traders are bad people.
Day traders are degenerate gamblers. Day traders lose therefore they are losers.
Day traders are looking for a little rush to fullfill an otherwise meaningless life...
Swing traders are well balanced, they are cautious yet know how to have fun.
Buy and hold can be good, but strictly buy and hold people are stuffy and boring...
They are bad people...
