The fear index (the VIX) tracks the volatility of the S&P 500. The lore of the markets is when the VIX goes down, the S&P 500 goes up, and vice versa.
The pps bull signal stands in bear phase with the fast stochastic, which gave its signal on Aug. 13.
The preceding, 4-day bull phase on the pps produced a 1% gain in price, so it was not a good signal. Part of the Problem is the VIX, a volatility indicator, is itself not very volatile these days, and that means false signals and whipsaws.
Below, oil and gold, and global indicators.

EEM |
EEM rose three trading days straight before showing the pps bull signal. The fast stochastic moved to bull phase on Aug. 13.
The preceding bear phase on the pps lasted five days and produced a 0.2% decline. Not too profitable except for megatraders who can afford to take huge positions. Small private traders? Fuggidaboudit!
