Hello NC,

I should have been clearer in my post that the indicator is a timing tool for the S&P 500, so any position in the broad market (or at least large caps) should work. If you want to know more about how the indicator is constructed, I recommend the links I posted above.

Regarding position sizes, it really depends on your circumstance, risk tolerance and such. Given that it is a rather low risk trade, I'm personally taking a fairly large position in SSO (SPY on steroids), but each investor has to figure out how much they are comfortable risking.

Thanks for reading!
