Kind Words from Terry Laundry, Founder of T Theory

"Parker has sent me what I consider to be the most important refinements to T Theory I have ever received from anyone in an e-mail . . . which he calls Tweaking the 13th Advance Decline T." September 29, 2010

"Parker has sent me a very interesting concept which is the NY Advance Decline line divided by the put-call ratio . . . What he's done is introduce the idea of sentiment." September 15, 2010

"Parker discovered the Money Flow Ts . . . This is something like the Holy Grail in T Theory. You are always looking for something that will help you refine the peak date." October 17, 201

"Money Flow Ts are probably the greatest new thing I have seen in 20 years in terms of time symmetries."

$$ Year in Review: Prices Can Continue to Rise After a Long Range ADT Concludes

I believed that once T13 ended, we would start to see a decline in the S&P as the cash build up phase of T14 started.  Had I studied the history, I would have known better.

Once T11 concluded and T12 started in 1998, the S&P continued to rise into 2000 before starting its descent into the center post of T12:
















Likewise, after T12 concluded and T13 started in the summer of 2007, the S&P climbed to its final peak in October 2007 before starting its descent into the center post of T13. 
















Similarly, T13 expired in November of 2010, yet the S&P continues to climb.  

The corollary to this lesson, as BillH has repeatedly commented, is that long range Advance Decline Ts are much better suited to going long at the center post than going short at the expiration of the T.

I would observe that shorting the first bearish divergence between the S&P and the NYAD after the end of a long range ADT was profitable in 2007 (9.4% correction) and 1998 (19.3% correction).

  2. Here is a look at the current divergence

    Yes - as I have noted previously ("Is T14 Starting"), currently there is bearish divergence between the NYAD and SPX.

    It remains to be seen if that divergence will last until the SPX starts to break down, or whether the NYAD will break to new highs along with the SPX.

    I have been monitoring the HSKAX and it closed yesterday on the low established a couple of weeks ago.. Previous low and close last evening was at 15.01.

    If it breaks the 15.01, it will be another signal that eminent decline is possible.

    Although my Momentum Change indicators sill signal an up market, first generated 12/1 at 120.5 we are watching carefully for what we feel we be a very important Momentum Change.

    Best to your trading

    I have been watching HSKAX too. We know it can produce a false positive warning perhaps 1/3 of the time. What we don't know is how its predictive power has been affected by QE2.

    So, worth watching, but not necessarily the final word.

  6. Any word on Arch Crawford's take on the markets. A while back he pointed to Dec 21-22 as a notable turning point.

    He probably did so because of the lunar eclipse on the winter solstice.

  8. Looks like NYAD made a new high...I track the stocks only NYAD on Bloomberg - that has not had any divergence at all, fwiw.
