Several Models Indicate A Short Term Overbought Condition.

The models used are for short term trading in 10 leveraged ETFs.  The bottom line to the model's method are for calls at overbought (sell) and oversold (buy) conditions.  Using the 3PM numbers as closing numbers seven models when to the sell side. And the market is up across the board to validate the short term overbought condition.

Sell Today: Finance(FAS), Mid Caps(MIDU), Retail(RETL), SP 500(SPXL), Technology(TECL), Small Caps(TNA) and Russell 2000(URTY).  As noted in yesterday's posting I missed the buy signal on RETL so it is already sold (and I missed out).

So in the paper account I will be selling.
