Buy SPY · August 16, 2013
The oscillator closed at 26.92, below its buy line of 33.35. 177 issues advanced and 321 declined. SPY closed at 165.83.
The signal did not stop there. It went on firing for 3 days across 2 sessions, through to August 20, 2013, and while it was still firing SPY went -0.64% 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.
