SP Analysis
In the table below, the SP 10 day balance breakouts are posted for each entry in the Advice Engine Select Table for 2005 and 2006. The summary table at the bottom shows a net of 131 breakouts, or about one every four days. That may seem to be quite a lot until you consider that a breakout day is not necessarily the beginning of a trend. It may be a 'false breakout' or a test, ending the day back in balance.

The average risk is $643 and the average Potential is $1,229. This gives a figure of Merit (Potential/Risk) of nearly 2. Now you have the information you need to determine whether or not you wish to trade SP (or the mini, UU). The Potential entry on the Advice Engine Page provides you the information. The choice of include or exclude is yours.
