- Gap bigger than 0.75%.
- The prior day being lowest close of 20-days.
When I further add a filter of the previous day's closing price higher than SMA200. The number of instances drops to 2 and both closed positive for the day.
I first check if there’s any follow through on up and down day with daily volatility higher than two standard deviations.
There are 25 instances of up days which have volatility two standard deviation higher than 20 day moving average of volatility (V>V20) out of 2007 days since 2002. Out of 25 instances, 2 instances occurred in January 2007, 5 instances are from July 2002 to October 2002, 12 instances are from September 2008 to February 2009 which coincides with the steepest drop in recent market history. My take on this phenomenon is that once market becomes hectic, the madness will continue for a while. A true longer term bottom will not be put in on a day of huge rally; extreme up days are rare in a market that’s truly going up. On days with high volatility, 52% is followed by up day. The number is really too low to provide any useful information.
The above chart show volatile up days and SPY daily close price plotted on the same chart. From the chart, it is very clear that in recent market history volatile days (even up days) are associated with weak market.
There are 32 instances of down days which have volatility two standard deviations away from the V20 in the negative side. Out of the 32 instances, 2 instances are from July 2002, 6 instances in second half of 2007, and 19 instances are from September 2008 to April 2009. The extreme negative data also supports the hypothesis that days deviate from the volatility means tend to appear near each other. Out of the 32 instances, 56.2% closed higher than the next day. Once again, the number is really too low be of any significance. However, this finding does confirm with earlier hypothesis that extreme weakness tends to be followed by short term bounce rather than more immediate weakness.
I split data into tow group of V20>2%, and V20>1%, but doing so have not yield much useful data so far.

By the end of the first half hour of trade, again going back to October, 2008, we find that the median value for $ADD has been -346, with a whopping standard deviation of 1378. That tells us that, within the first 30 minutes of trading, much of the issue of whether or not we're in a trending environment has been sorted out. (My next post will explore this issue more specifically). If we're seeing $ADD between -1000 and +1000 by the end of the first half hour of trade, we're much less likely to be in a trending environment than if we have readings of +1500 or more or -1500 or less.
Will a break above or below a range lead to a directional, trending move? It's likely that the participation of the NYSE advance-decline line will provide some clues. If, for instance, a break above a market's opening range (say, its range for the first 15 minutes of trade) occurs with $ADD well below +1000 and with mixed sector strength, we might be much less likely to go with that move than if the breakout vaults $ADD above +1500 with strong sector participation and leadership.

這是在 2x IBL 做多用今年的歷史資料回測的結果,在這個回測中我固定用三點作為停損,來看那一個獲利點的損益最好。從結果中看的到滿有趣的一點,trade manage 在損益上可以造成很到的影響。效益第二好的與最差唯一不同的地方在於獲利點兩點的差別,但是這 S&P 兩點卻造成了將近一口一千六百美金的獲利差別。這個表中也可以看到 scale-out 重要的地方。效益最好的前幾名,分除了 24 這個獲利點外,其他皆是採用超大獲利點為出口。仔細看了一下交易明細,發現造成這個現象的原因是在一月二十一號有一比三十多點的交易。由此可見放長線釣大魚重要的地方。
