Bull Bliss: MagicT Gets Markets High
by Murray Nickel
August 8th, 2007
No MagicT has nothing to do with mushrooms, it's short for "Magic Trough".
The unique TrendSensor Trading System I have developed is comprised of about seventeen modules, including seven particularly powerful indicators or chart patterns. MagicT combines price pattern and a responsive indicator to reliably deliver buy signals early in the new, strong rally that normally follows a precipitous decline fueled by panic and fear.
Interested in technical analysis of markets? (skip this paragraph if you're not!) OK, here's the nerdy stuff: MagicT uses time series analysis of price volatility, a statistical analysis of trend duration to identify excessively long trends, and a simple chart pattern to nail the start of a strong rally following panic selling.
The URL below will take you to a chart of the DAX Index (Germany) going back to 1993, and covering two bull markets and a bear market. The chart shows MagicT in action - those 16 buy signals, 15 of which are near the bottom of some nice troughs.

The first buy signal in 2002 ain't great, but the other 15 really nail the lows in the DAX, including most of the precipitous slides south.
I chose to show the DAX because it's primed to trigger a MagicT signal again soon, and it has more historical signals than most markets - 16 in 14 years. Many markets only serve up a MagicT buy signal once every two or three years. So the fact that right now I can identify 14 global stock markets or sectors that are primed to trigger a MagicT buy signal is remarkable and bullish. A few of these may not fulfill all the signal requirements within the time frame allowed, but there are 10 markets that appear very likely to throw MagicT buy signals within the next week or three. These 10 markets are evenly split between Europe and USA:
* Europe: ATX (Austria), BFX (Belgium), CAC40 (France), DAX (Germany) and FTSE100 (UK).
* USA: BIX (S&P Banking Sector Index), HGX (Philadelphia Housing Sector Index), NYA (NY Composite), SPX (S&P 500) and SXX (Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector).
When MagicT rides into town within the next few days, it probably signals the start of the last excellent buying opportunity within the US and European markets for a long time to come.
This opportunity is a heads-up for all my trading signal clients - and an invitation to catch those rare MagicT signals via my free 5 week trial offer for others reading this.
