| Buy B4 - December 24, 2013 Peerless (C) 2013 William Schmidt, Ph.D. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJI Rockets Up Past Upper Band with either Very Positive P-Indicator Readings or Sharply Improving Accumulation Index Readings. ![]() There have been 56 cases of a Peerless Buy B4 since 1928. The average gain was 8.5%. 3 of the 56 would have resulted in a loss. The biggest average gain for the Buy B4s occurred in the Year of Mid-Term Elections and during the first 10 days of the month. Size of Buy B4 Gains >.10 16 28.6% .05 - .10 12 21.4% .02 - .0499 17 30.4% 0-.0199 8 14.3% <0 3 5.4% ------------------------------------ 56 ![]() Type-2 Buy B4s In mid-2013, I discovered that DJI take-offs, as with stocks, often occur when there is a rapid improvement in the Accumulation Index and the DJI surpasses its normal 3.5% upper band. All the Buy B4s before 1942 were of this new type. There have been 16 instances when this new Buy B4s (marked as "Type 2) would have appeared. 11 of the 16 occurred since 1945. These Type-2 Buy B4s averaged gains of 6.4%. Their trading results were held back a lot by allowing between January and April. You can see below how low their trading gains were compared to those Buy B4s in the 2nd year of the Presidential cycle or Novembers.: Type-2 Buy B4s' Success Varies Widely Jan 2 .019 low Feb 1 .017 low Mar 0 ---- Apr 1 .010 low PE +2 4 .132 . Nov 5 .094 The Importance of Buy B4s Buy B4s are important because they tell you when the DJI has probably broken out above the resistance of the upper band. If Peerless is already on a Buy, the Buy B4 will keep you bullish. If Peerless is on a Sell, the Buy B4 warns you to switch to a long position. A reversing Buy B4 is not common. But it would have worked out well in the 6 cases below. They brought gains that averaged 7.6%. None of the reversing Buy B4s would have brought a loss.
