The Calm Before The Storm

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of November 11, 2016
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer

SGS ticked higher for the third day in a row, that's bullish. If SGS closes above its DTL (shown in red), I would buy my first buy in my long portfolio (SPY).

Short-Term (days to weeks) Outlook

Shorter term, SPX is range-bound by its trendlines.  There is an excellent chance, however, that SPX exits its relatively narrow trading range soon.  I have no idea which way SPX breaks out.  I'm letting SPX make the first move and then I'll follow. 

Long-Term (weeks to months) Outlook

We're experiencing the calm before the storm.  I don't know which way SPX is going to breakout.  Patience.

My Plan

I am going to follow SGS and start buying SPY if SGS starts to uptick and closes above its DTL. If SGS reverses and starts to go lower, cross zero line and turns short, I would start opening short positions in SPX by buying SH.
