1. Weekly Reversal levels for January 24, 2015.
Quick intro:
Full instructions are in the final pages of this PDF, here is the quick start info:
Weekly reversal levels can be used for market orientation and long term investing. The color codes indicate
the current Mode of the market:
* Green: bullish with upward momentum (MoM). Market is above its reversal level and climbing higher.
Rallying.
* Pale Green: bullish with downward momentum (MoM). Market is above its reversal level and mean reverting
towards it. Sideways pause or correcting.
* Red: bearish with downward momentum (MoM). Market is below its reversal level and heading lower.
Declining
* Pink: bearish with upward momentum (MoM). Market is below its reversal level and mean reverting towards
it. Sideways pause or rebounding.
The tables below give the weekly Mode, the weekly reversal level (RevL) and the weekly MoM. You can see
how many weeks have passed since the last standard Buy or Sell signal and the % change since that signal
(blue = profitable and orange = loss).
The action column gives quick info for trading:
* Buy, Sell, weak Buy (wBuy) or weak Sell (wSell) -> regular buy and sell signal based on the reversal level.
* Speculative Buy (spBuy) -> MoM turning up, can give you a great entry point for stocks you want to buy on
weakness.
* Partial profits (pP) -> a chance to take some money off the table. You can always scale back in when the up
trend resumes (see: "Add").
* Add -> this is where you can add to positions.
* Add short (AddSh) -> good opportunity to add or initiate short positions.
* Watch (w) -> stock to watch, very close to reversal level. The reversal level tends to reject prices, which can
be used for special entry techniques (More on that later).
The MoM indicator shows the current "mood" tendency of the stock based on a proprietary formula. It is used
to detect speculative buy opportunities in stocks that have become very oversold.
The buy and sell signals generated by the reversal levels are a trend following method. The signals
generated by MoM indicator are a method based on mean reversal. By combining both we have a hybrid
system.
Tip: Yellow boxes in the "MoM" or "Weeks" column help you to spot where the action is. These are stocks with
momentum changes or with new buy or sell signals.
Tip2: To find a certain stock quickly you can use the "Find" function in Acrobat Reader. Just click "Ctrl+F" and
it will bring up a little search box. Typing in the name or ticker of the stock you are looking for will locate it in
the list.
More details and strategies for use can be found at the end of this PDF. There is also a little FAQ.

Investing approach for weekly reversal levels:
* Conservative investors can go with the normal buy and sell signals only and negate the info about
speculative buys and short selling. This is a trend following method, so you will not buy at the bottom and
there will be some "give-back" at the end of a trend. The aim is to participate in the bulk of a move with a
minimum of risk. When you see an "Add" signal you can increase the position by buying more. This means
you build bigger positions in stocks that are going up.:
:
* Short selling can be done on regular sell signals or on "add to shorts" (AddSh). Short positions are best
covered as soon as you see MoM turn up or on the first regular buy signal (Buy or wBuy) that appears after
you went short. Short selling is not for everybody. Make sure you know what you are doing.:
:
* Speculative buying opportunities appear when MoM starts going up for a stock that has been in bearish(red)
mode for a while. This can allow you to pick up stocks near a major low. But some care needs to be taken. Try
to buy near the recent low, and use a properly positioned stop-loss, e.g. just below the recent low, because
not all those speculative buys will work. Keep losers small and let the profits run. You can take some partial
profits when the stock comes close to its reversal level and let the rest run for a regular buy if the stock
breaks out above the reversal level, which triggers a normal buy signal. Note: struggling companies may
never recover, so this method is best used on ETFs or on stocks of companies that are in good financial
shape.:
The MoM indicator
The MoM indicator shows market momentum on a numeric scale between +10 and -10. You could compare it
to the Richter scale for earthquakes, or a market thermometer if you want.
Various levels in the MoM indicator correspond to market mood as follows:
* +8 to +10: very optimistic – euphoric
* +5 to +8: optimistic
36. * +3 to +5 : positive
* -3 to +3: neutral
* -3 to -5: negative
* -8 to -5: pessimistic
* -10 to -8: very pessimistic – depressed
Besides the level itself, we also pay attention to the direction. In a healthy bull market, the MoM will be rising
together with the market. When MoM starts going down in a bull market (green), it is a first indication that the
market may have peaked (or about to do so), and that’s when market mode sets to light green. In a rising
market you will typically find MoM hovering between +3 and +10. Market pullbacks will generally end with
MoM bottoming out in the neutral zone ( -3 to +3) before turning back up. In a declining market you will
typically find MoM hovering between -3 and -10. Market rebounds will generally end with MoM peaking out in
the neutral zone ( -3 to +3) before turning back down.
Q & A
Q: I prefer swing trading and your weekly signals seem to be rather slow. Do you have something faster too?
A: Sure. We also publish daily reversal levels, which are tailored for swing trading. Check it out on the contact
addresses given below.
Q: Where can I find more information about these reversal levels and MoM indicator?
A: You can find more materials here: http://lunatictrader.wordpress.com/key-reversal-levels/. More will be
added in the near future as well as example trades.
Q: I am a fundamental investor, can I do anything with these reversal levels?
A: Well, even if you select stocks based on fundamentals it will make a difference *when* you buy (sell) them.
Better timing can make a big difference, even for a long term buy and hold investor. For example if your
analysis shows you that company XYZ is great value, then you can still wait until the reversal levels give a
buy signal ( or a speculative buy) to get in. Just try and see whether it improves your results.
Q: Your predictions for last week didn't work very well. But your table always shows a lot of blue (profits). Why
should I believe this?
A: The reversal levels are not a prediction, they are an approach to trading. All you can do is try it in your own
trading (even paper trading) and see how it works. It will naturally take more than one week to see if a method
is good or not. You are also not required to believe anything. You can verify the "%Ch." numbers if you want.
Just take the Open on the Monday after the buy (sell) signal was given and calculate the change to date. It
should match what you find in the table. If that is not the case, feel welcome to contact us with your question.
Q: A stock I own is already trading below its reversal level, so it will probably turn to bearish mode this week.
Do I need to wait for the next Monday's Open to sell this stock?
A: If going into the close on Friday you see that one of your stocks is almost certain to close below the weekly
reversal level then you can already sell it with a MOC (market on close) order. Sometimes this will give you a
slightly better exit than waiting for next Monday's open.
Q: Do I need to take all buy signals in the list?
A: No. Maybe you don like IBM, or the leveraged and reverse ETF in the list, that's up to you of course. Also,
whenever a buy signal appears we can always check how far the stock is above its reversal level. That gives
us an estimate how much risk is in this trade, because the stock will be sold if it drops and closes below the
reversal level. E.g. it is possible that a stock jumps 20% on good news and is already too far above the
reversal level when the buy signal appears. In that case you can wait until the price comes back to the
reversal level to pick it up. So, that's where you can always use some discretion.
