FYI, from Connor's new (third) book, "Connors on Advanced Trading
Strategies"...  the strategy is all here, and on the website it shows a
"16-day profit"... I have *not* looked at or tested the strategy long term,
this in only presented here for information (not endorsement).  The details
and charts of recent results are at http://www.mgordonpub.com

> 	=================================================
> 
> This particular trading methodology is based on the Chicago 
> Board Options Exchage's Volatility Index(VIX).  The VIX is carried 
> on all end-of-day and real-time services.
> 
> Larry has figured out how to dynamically measure change in the 
> VIX to anticipate market movement.  Does it work?  The proof is
> in the pudding - 665 DOW points in 16 trading days.
> 
> This VIX Reversal is just one of three in *one* chapter (Chapter 2)
> of a 31-chapter book.
> 
> Here are the rules:
>  
> 1. Take a 5-period RSI of the closing VIX. 
> 
> 2. When the 5-period RSI gets to 70 or above, it signifies the 
> VIX is overbought and the market is oversold.
> 
> 3. When an RSI reading above 70 is followed by a downtick in RSI, 
> buy the market that day on the close.
> 
> Short entry: 
> When the 5-period RSI of the VIX gets to 30 or below, it signifies 
> that the VIX is oversold and the market is overbought. When an RSI 
> reading below 30 is followed by an uptick in its RSI, 
> sell the market that day on the close.
> 
> 4. Exit seven trading days later (or use some type of trailing stop.)
> 
> 5. A protective stop helps avoid potentially large drawdowns.
> 
> (The widest stop used by traders in this methodology is 2% of the
> underlying index.  With the DOW at 8000, the stop is 160 points.)
