This breakout everyone was looking for is going to be churn week till options expire. Trade the low volume rally we get during the afternoon dead time. Dow -10 is about as low as it will get( I miss the dow -50 floor days).
What length lookback are you using in the DS? Most times it is useful to use another with a longer length as a filter or use something totally different like a CCI or divergence. If you are using a 8 bar try adding a 32 and or a 56.
The ndx has broken the sept and oct highs and is close to the late july top, yet the sox is really no where near testing any of the prior highs. Will it catch up or is it just rallying in the established downtrend?
