👉When the indicator is under -600, the forward returns are 2.0% over 10 days, 3.1% over 21 days, and 9.4% over 63 days.
👉When the indicator is between -600 and 600, the forward returns are 0.6% over 10 days, 1.2% over 21 days, and 3.6% over 63 days.
👉When the indicator is above 600, the forward returns are -0.1% over 10 days, 0.8% over 21 days, and 0.2% over 63 days.

Playing Volatility: Making a 2020-Averse PortfolioIn this case we normalize the ratio between SPY and FDLO (one of the better-performing min-volatility etfs of the year) to the start of the year. We can clearly see a shift in favour of a min-volatility portfolio as of late.
Performing efficient frontier upon FDLO to narrow down our investments, we see that, for maximizing a Sharpe ratio at the current 3-month treasury bond yield, our best options are (in terms of TICKER, WEIGHT):
CI,0.20459
LIN,0.14878
CABO,0.01408
CTXS,0.01166
CLX,0.01038
AKAM,0.00986
DPZ,0.00929
DG,0.00923
ADBE,0.00918
INTU,0.00909
and so on.
stats: Expected annual return: 22.8%
Annual volatility: 10.9%
Sharpe Ratio: 1.90
Minimizing volatility as opposed to maximizing Sharpe gives us more tickers (of course, the portfolio was made to be volatility-averse in general... but not COVID-Recession-Averse).
For stats of
Expected annual return: 14.1%
Annual volatility: 8.5%
Sharpe Ratio: 1.42,
We see:
LIN,0.04622
EQC,0.04516
DPZ,0.03391
CLX,0.03318
VZ,0.03257
WMT,0.03243
CHRW,0.02722
CI,0.02714
CABO,0.02352
DOX,0.02221
CHKP,0.02112

Weight Watchers about to gain some weight :DAlright, now that I got the corny title out of the way we can talk about why this stock will do well. This recent drop was huge and the trend is getting close to the 30 week moving average at around $27, it's been trading above the 30 week MA so at this point buying the pullbacks to the 30 week makes sense. The S&P 500 is trending up from the recent break out and that will be the main reason why this would go up. Today volume came in on that big drop and you can see it if you zoom into the 1hr chart, trade this on the weekly just look at the volume for reference on the 1hr. Could it drop a little further? Possibly, but i'd trade this by buying it here and buying more on the way to $27 if it were to continue dropping. The RSI is centered out and the MACD seems to have a way to go so the stock has momentum for what I believe might be 2 big moves to $45 and $65. Let me know what you guys think and feel free to post your ideas!
3 Little Indians Pattern + Divergence With Other Indices + More
On a long time frame, we have a “three little Indian” pattern consisting of 3 peaks and 3 rivers. Expect accelerated selling once we return to the 2nd peak high buy institutions
From $3000 - $3047.38 (The 2008 Financial Crisis 2.618 Fib Retracement Level) I expect selling pressure to be heavy.
We have already fallen out of the most recent ascending wedge 2 days ago, in which we retested the previous support and have proceeded to trade down from there:
Divergence on the MACD histogram and the CMF was negative the entire way up.
This market traded up on the idea that bad news is good in hopes of a rate cut, completely ignoring the US and macroeconomic slowdown that has begun. That and trade tensions around the globe. Don't get me wrong, I love Trump, but if you think the Chinese will actually give the US a favorable trade deal you're wrong.
