CBOE Put/call data: Final Verdict

CBOE Put/call data: Final Verdict   Corona Del Mar, CA   Hey ,   In the last update, I loaded up AAII sentiment data into The Boss...and it was a complete dud.   Not predictive.   I'm not surprised because someone's opinion is worth way less than how much money they have on the line.   So I figured put/call ratios and such would have some predictive power since it's based on actual trading.   The fellas loaded up the data, and I got to "work"   I use the term "work" loosely because it only took me 5 minutes of editing a Boss Template to get started. I ended up running 10 tests where The Boss programmed itself in C code.   If The Boss isn't finding something in 10 tests, there isn't an edge.   Once again, price data (open, high, low, close, volume, time) easily beat put/call data.   It wasn't even close.   Just to be sure I even combined sentiment with the put/call data. Nada.   Couldn't beat price.   By comparison, 100% of the time, the new T.A.P (True Asset Price) data beats price/volume data.   Man...I can't tell you how many times I've heard some "guru" use put/call data as part of their evidence as to why the market should move up or down.   Now that I think about it, these are the same folks that draw lines on charts and try to get into the minds of Fed board members.   I stopped doing that 20+ years ago because I went broke.   So there you have it ...another Wall Street sacred cow has been slaughtered.   URGENT   I just got done recording an urgent message.   I have good news and bad news.   Watch here immediately >>   Trade smart,   Dan "Prince of Proof" Murphy                               Portfolio Boss, Inc. 260 Newport Center Dr, Suite 100 Newport Beach, CA 92660   Don't want to stay in the loop with Dan?
