• Some ghastly nonsense with the dollar against the yen: Tuesday's bear phase ghosts away, only to reappear today.

The USD/JPY ghosting made little difference in the stats. The preceding bull phase lasted 11 days and carried the price up 0.3%.

The analysis uses the daily Person's Proprietary Signal, developed by John Person, and the weekly Person's Pivot, which he also developed.

These are black box signals -- the "proprietary" means that Mr. Person knows how they work under the hood, and I don't. But they have shown a fair degree of success in identifying good entry and exit points, and I find them useful.

On the glance, "pps open" means the price at the start of trading in the United States on the day the signal appeared.
