Re: S&P Triangle

Mr. J Seed,
I looked on Murphy's page 144, but I didn't find any ascending triangle on the
S&P daily chart.  Perhaps you are looking at an hourly chart.  What I did find
was a Symmetrical Triangle, as mentioned on Pring's TA Explained page 75 & 79.
I have uploaded 2 charts to my personal web site.
The first chart:
http://www.ixpres.com/horizon/metastock/S&P-Symmetrical-Triangle.htm
clearly shows this Symmetrical Triangle.  Symmetrical Triangles are not supposed
to be very reliable to use the charts at your own risk.  I drew the 2 arrows
because Triangle can go either way.

The second chart:
http://www.ixpres.com/horizon/metastock/S&P-KST-DAILY.htm
has the Daily KST Simple MA above the price S&P.  Notice how the KST has moved
above its 20 day exp. MA?  I have drawn the up arrow and the bull to emphasize
this.  Again, use these charts at your own risk.  I did not use the other KST
time frames because I need to place them in my MetaStock formula list.  Because
KST should help me make tons of cash, I will do this later today.  ;^)

BTW, not only did I upload these charts, but I also converted them to GIF.  The
MetaStock HTML file can still use it because I changed the GIF extension back to
JPG.  This is why the chart loaded ten times faster than a JPG chart in your
browser!  Feel free to continue sending us your hypotheses.  I need to get
better at analyzing charts.

Good Luck,
Daniel.
