Update on The Ultimate Momentum Signal - 19th Aug. 2010

  Another Test of the Highs ... !!!

Even though this blog was anticipating a test of the highs in the morning session,  it was not to be. ( Please see the previous post for details. )  The Nifty futures opened and remained range bound as usual till about about 2.00 PM on Wednesday.  Till that time the futures were confined to a very small trading range. However, the absence of any downtrend seems to have lead to a bout of panic short covering. Once the Tuesday's highs were broken, the futures never looked back and closed almost at the highest point of the day at 5492.  The close was at a new thirty month high too.
  Nifty Futures - Daily Chart 
As this blog has written many times in the past, the 5500 to 5550 area may offer resistance to the markets.

As matter of abundant caution, it is reiterated that the market is still range bound by all effects and therefore, the risks of the system indicating whipsaw signals are extremely high. 
 
"Readers of this blog may please note the following  'Risk Factor' which is being  repeated almost daily these days. The markets are trading in small ranges at the top end of a slow climb and for all practical purposes the trading is range bound. Range bound markets are not suitable for the  profitable trading of the Momentum Signal system."
 
"As the Momentum Signal is primarily a trend following system, it may indicate whipsaw signals in range bound markets. As such, all readers of this blog are requested to read the various pages describing the system and understand all the intricacies of trading the Momentum Signal and it's risk factors too. Please do write in your comments and suggestions."

Cheers and Prosperous Investing and Trading !!!
