Subject: Re: Market Conditions at the turn of the year
How I selected the short term indicators I watch:
From a LOT of free research Zeelotes and Mungo and tpoto designed, backtested and posted on the old Fool in the mid-aughts before and after the GFC of 08.

I used several of them to suspend my use of MI screens as the market started to get ugly in early '08 through the V in 09. My biggest regret is not driving my whole portfolio off of them, "hoping" that the mutual funds I stayed in would have some downside protection as advertised. That hope cost me 10 years of then-401K contributions.

Most of them - especially simple top finder - are best used in conjunction with other indicators. When the volatility levels are like 2017, nothing related to top finding is worth following. - Zeelotes' words.

Those indicators can be
full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing....

But they worked pretty well Q1 of '23.
