Buy SPY · November 12, 2008
The oscillator closed at 27.73, below its buy line of 32.55. 12 issues advanced and 486 declined. SPY closed at 85.82.
The signal did not stop there. It went on firing for 5 days across 7 sessions, through to November 21, 2008, and while it was still firing SPY went -12.08% 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.
