  Kevin,
 
 No, I didn't mean in the sense of "no work on the sabbath" - more like "special leave for study" - I think your SF contract calls for one month off every 7 for this purpose doesn't it?
 
 Anyways, as to Eriks question, I have only got burned here mildly due to trending stocks.  I was able to call a few reversals based on VIX divergence signals both last week and Monday-Tuesday.  My largest losses (and one is still open) is partly attrubutable to overpositioning.  If I were to have traded ETFs only I doubt I would be down at all.  Closed KRE at a profit today.  Closed MI, EEM and some SLX at a profit yesterday.

 The "falling wedge" pattern picked up RIMM and BIDU yesterday.
 I need to find more of those!

 edit:
 From StockBandit:
 "Context:  Found within a downtrend, the falling wedge is often a reversal pattern.  "

  Hi Karen,
 
 Besides qcom, those others are pretty close to the 200 day ma.  So for me, unless it's a short trade, I usually wait to see how things respond to the 200 day ma.  I think if we get a close above the midsection of the 2/4 candle like on the previous chart, it would be a good bullish sign, but it is likely we would have a retest of that level for support if that happens.
 
 FWIW, I also noticed that some oscillators are showing  a bullish divergence.
 
 Erik
