I posted the following on another site this afternoon, and am repeating it here just to go on record.   As soon as the trigger is generated, along with the likely trend direction, I will follow-up.   (Note:  If you're not interested in this post, and don't believe it's possible to anticipate market trends, please do not leave comments.......thank you) 

The MarsSTRING Model is now issuing an imminent threat warning (think alternating yellow//red lights flashing) for the near-term (days to weeks). This means that conditions are ideal for a trending move in the SP500 which could produce a move of 50 to 100 points or more, over a period of days to weeks.

As of the OCT 19 close, this warning is in effect for the SP500. Escalation to solid red lights flashing will occur once the trigger has been activated, and this can come on any day following Wednesday. I will plan to update this message once the trigger has been activated.  Expectation is for the trigger to emerge within days.

Since JAN 2010, this model has generated four prior signals:
1) + 117.18 points with the SP500 trending upward in 48 trading days
2) + 66.83 points with the SP500 trending downward in 24 trading days
3) + 311.89 points with the SP500 trending upward in 168 trading days
4) + 171.27 points with the SP500 trending downward in 13 trading days

Note: The results above are from a retrospective study of prior signals, as the MarsSTRING Model was developed this year. Your actual results would be different depending upon entry//exit and the stops utilized. All of the above is based upon using the model on an SP500 Daily chart. I post SP500 intraday trading notes using the same methodology on a shorter timeframe.

As always, no guarantees, just another interesting model.

Is this you also? or is it the other mars?

http://www.globalperspectives.info/our-perspective-blog/5317-market-update

so what is the time frame - days?  what like 365 days per example - isn't that a year?
or weeks?  What like 35 weeks ...

so what if the SP500 goes up or down - what does that for you? flashing lights? hmmm? like in a fair, casino, or circus? lolo

What are you following up? without gurantees?  What is the point?

What are you buying and what are you selling?  a copy of your trade confirmation would do, other than that we can all trade the markets and win.

This is as good as revelation.  Can I subscribe?

Is this method something to do with trading when planets are stringed out in alignment?

I’ve always been interested in the STRINGBikini model.

Wow! Where to begin?  Apparently, the mentally-impaired have free rein on this site.  If you actually read the post, you would have seen the following:  (Note:  If you're not interested in this post, and don't believe it's possible to anticipate market trends, please do not leave comments.......thank you)   So what are we to assume about some of those who left comments?  1)  They are semiliterate?  2)  Perhaps they can actually read and comprehend, but feel so inadequate that they're compelled to attack any idea which sounds different from their own viewpoint?  3)  Congenital misfits?   4)  The chronically rude?

Mr. Baker:  if you were attempting to convey coherent thoughts, I'm sorry to inform you that you've failed.  Timeframe?  Please reference "is based upon using the model on an SP500 Daily chart."  365 days in a year ?  Congratulations you're a genius!  Any other random thoughts?  If you believe the SP500 will advance, a person may very well want to buy the SP500, and vice versa for a decline.  A guaranteed system?  Good luck with that.  The rest of your rant is a jumble.  The point?   "just another interesting model".....merely trying to point out something interesting. 

Socrates:  I appreciate your comments on both postings, and wish you great success.  Thank you.

fpetry:  I read your last comment to my previous posting (Fulcrum Hypothesis Model) and thank you for your response. I have no problem with you. I responded with a strong attack only after being attacked first with silly comments.  Was it over-the-top? Sure, that was my point.  If someone chooses to share an idea that they find interesting, and it's immediately met with rudeness, what's the likely result?  Yes, you discourage intelligent sharing and the forum becomes the Beavis and Butthead show.  If your last question was serious, no, it has nothing to do with planetary alignment, but there are some interesting ideas in string theory.

Diceman:  Hey, I usually always love humor, but you may wish to review the concept of  "less is more."

jas0501:  Of all people to be returning with sarcastic comments to the previous posting!  Son, you were "taken to the woodshed" for your smart-ass comments, you should have learned a lesson!

Thanks folks, I'm out of here, no follow-up, and likely no return for quite a while as it's largely just people lobbing insults back and forth.  But you all feel free to continue.

In the STRINGBikini model, less "is" more.

Thanks

What you need to keep in mind is the following:

That market is down about 3.5% for this year so far.  Add inflation to that and the average investor is about 7% in the hole.  Oh but wait, you also have taxes on profits and dividends, and advisor fees (about 1% of your portafolio) if you have one, or trade fees if you trade on your own.
And then as we all know inflation keeps creaping in.
Factor inflation, fees, and taxes, and most folks haven't seen a cent from the market in over a decade.

You get it.  I am not sure about what you marstring is going to do for them.  But for most investors (inflation adjusted) the only color they see in their investments is RED.  How is that for "RED LIGHTS FLASHING"?

Keep factoring those facts and the bears have been dancing to the " Dice - STRINGBikini model " for a long time.  Hell, the Cramer show may be taken by the StringBikini Bears pretty soon.

Pardon me for asking questions but one would have more creditability if we knew something besides the name of the model. How is it composed, what does it utilize in its computations, full track record and length of time it has been running, how do you trade the information and lastly profit and lost statement or win/lose ratio would allow others to evaluate the info you have shared.

Scanit, I found something that you might like to try with your trading as I think it fits your style and may pique your interest for market timing....eclipses!  Here's a tasty little morsel for you from the site linked below.  It doesn't sound exactly like your planet method, but of the same genre you favor:  "Eclipses which activate angular patterns of relationship between other planets are far more likely to have a noticeable impact on the markets. Look for significant connections to other planets in the aspectarian section of your ephemeris or in the daily listing of planetary aspects on your astrological calendar, or calculate a horoscope for the eclipse and study the pattern of planetary alignments on the chart wheel."
