Buy SPY · October 6, 2008
The oscillator closed at 30.23, below its buy line of 35.28. 47 issues advanced and 453 declined. SPY closed at 104.72.
The signal did not stop there. It went on firing for 7 days across 15 sessions, through to October 27, 2008, and while it was still firing SPY went -19.83% against the call. A signal that keeps repeating is not the same event as one that resolves in a session, and reading only the first day would say otherwise.
