Brigbox was correct in choosing the last date we had a 1% up day with volume higher than the previous 22 days. It happened on November 4th, 2004. That is right 2004. Quite an oddity considering the frequency at which they have shown up in the past.

In the comments from the last post you can see what other readers chose as well.

Congrats Brigbox and thanks everyone for playing along.

Have a Great Day!

    So basically, a very strong up day with huge volume is so rare (1 in last 3 years),one should expect to *not* get triggered into an S&P long trade according to the criteria identified in the earlier post?

  2. Dave Says:

    BH I think maybe you misunderstood the trigger criteria for the trade. For the trade to trigger it only requires an up day - with volume higher than previous 21 days.
    In this little game I was asking for when we last had a 1% up day with volume higher than previous 22 days.
    Sorry for the confusion between the 2 posts. This was just something I found that was a bit of an anomaly that I thought people would find interesting.

    Thanks for the explanation Dave, I was indeed confused. Cheers.
