7/27 1:00

6% short SP futures, 2% SDS, 4%QID.  The first 2 days of the I1 down move were rally days 7/23 and 7/26.  The overnight session was up as well, completing a diagonal triangle.  In a down I1, especially one bottoming < 32.50 I must be short. I follow the I1 like a dog.  Getting stopped out on the 23rd was not all that big of a hit.  I got back in starting Sunday evening and more Monday morning.  Last night is when the diagonal triangle became evident. I'm trying to relate the events during this I1 down period in the face of a stock market rally.  Nobody said it was easy, but we are on the gravy train now. 
Here is the I1:

    given this rally strength in the face of declining I1, does it portend strength in the end of July to mid Aug I1 rally? Does it bring my double top scenario that I posted a while back into play?
    Thanks

  2. Hi Charles,
    Yes, if we don't crack below 10,000 by the close 7/29 I'll be buying it to exceed 10,594 but not all the way to double-top the April highs.
