I started analyzing @satymahajan ATR levels and filtering results based on the previous close with relation to EMAs to see if there’s any predictive power there. I’ll give you a preview of what I have found so far and see what conclusions you all can draw from it.

Gaps: a gap open above the call trigger (about 28% of the time for spy) improves your golden gate success rate to 74%. A gap under the put trigger (19% of the time) increases gold gate success rate to 78%).

New stat just dropped: a 10% up close on the VIX in a day means there’s an 80+% chance one of the next two days will be an up day on the SPY. In fact the average for the next day is up .2%. Please keep in mind before you short big red candles.

Think today might be choppy? Pay attention to if the open is between the call trigger and the put trigger. It reduces your odds of having larger moves. The overall chance of a move to +50% atr is 42%, but an open in the box lowers those odds to 33%

After much trial and tribulation, I’m making some progress on my latest project. Not done yet but I’ll share some findings. Using SPY data back to inception, there’s about 2800 daily gaps outside the previous days range. 74% get filled the first day. Gap +7 days only 12% unfilled

VIX intraday data starts in 1992. If we look at VIX gap fills to previous close from that point until today, a very interesting number emerges. 61.8% of the time VIX fully closes gaps the day they occur.

Using the common definition of a gap, trading outside the previous days candle, I’m coming up with 73% chance of gap fill on the day it’s made. But only 56% chance of reaching the previous close. Hope this helps.

Stat of the week: On a daily basis, SPY and VIX are positively correlated about 20% of the time (Both are green or both are red) I looked at DXY and TNX and on the daily timeframe the correlation is roughly 50%. This makes me question the useful of other as sentiment gage.

Bearish outside candle got you down? Not so fast. SPY has formed this pattern 440 times on the daily. 38% of the time the next day closes lower, 35% for 5 days later and 37% 10 days later. Average max down move 2.2%, up move 2.4%. Still feeling bearish?

For all you Golden Gate fans, I ran some numbers. If you have a failed Golden Gate on the daily (price fails to meet the midrange after the 38.2 level), the odds of a successful Golden gate the next day are only about 33%.

The ratio of XLU/SPY closed at its lowest point ever today. Again. Before 2020, the low was set in March 2000 On the day SPY set an all time high that wouldn’t get taken for almost 8 years. Will history repeat? I have no idea but it’s interesting.
