So, I was wrong about the DOW. It hit 13,135 on May 19th. Now, it is heading down. How far? I can't tell yet. It is at the 50% retracement level from the high on May 19th. You can see the from The chart in Figure 1 that DOW is still in a down trend and could from the pitchfork in blue that it could go back down to the 12,000.
Did better with the Qs. I was right on target. It hit $50.47 on on May 19th. So, I'm 50% right so far.
Second, let's look at some recent winning trades.
International Game Tech (IGT) - bought 1/10 30.00 on 5/8 and sold it on 5/13 for a 8.79% profit in 5 days.
Western Digital (WDC) - bought 1/10 30.00 on 4/21 and sold it on 5/14 for a 20.93% profit in 24 days.
Coke (KO) - bought on 5/21 the 1/10 55.00 and sold it on 5/23 for a12.16% profit in 2 days.
Next, here are 2 new trades that I have not exited yet. First, Colgate Palmolive (CL) bought the 1/10 70.00 on 5/21.
The other trade is Saint Jude Medical(STJ). Bought the 1/10 40.00 on 5/23. The chart in figure 2 shows that I believe it headed to 45 by the middle of June. Of course, remember using the system I use I don't have to wait until it reaches 45.00 to make my 5% profit so, if I am off on my prediction I can still have a profitable trade.

I missed it on the DOW. Qs Still look good.
Also, recently, I added some additional indicators to help make my trading more effective. MACD and SRSI. When the SRSI drops below 15% from the 85% level crossing the positive (green) histogram, I take that as a sell signal. Then, if the price drops below the lower ML of the red pitchfork I read that as confirmation of the sell signals given by the SRSI/MACD. If the confirmation happens then, I believe that we have peaked on the DOW for a while and I will have to re-evaluate where the DOW is going. I will continue to monitor this and see what happens.
The Q's seem to be headed for the target I had predicted $50.50 by the End of May. If the goes over $50.00 I will declare victory as shown in Figure 2.

Lastly, I wanted to boost about some winning trades IGT and WDC. I bought the Jan 30 call for 9.10 on 5/8 and sold it on 5/13 for 9.10 for a 8.79% profit over a 6 day period. On WDC I bought the Jan 10 30 call on 4/21 for 8.60 and sold it on 5/14 for 10.40. That's a 20.93% return over approx 3 weeks.
I am looking for a new trade haven't found it but when I do I will make a blog entry on it.
