    I find it interesting that the time your algorithm has kept you short before going long again has gotten shorter and shorter since the beginning of May. It seems to indicate that we will have extremely high volatility in the near future.

    That is interesting Paul, it is tough to draw conclusions, however. The central bankers are interfering with the markets so lots of mixed signals result. Higher volatilty would definitely be expected, it is a seasonality factor as well, volatility typically bottoms in August, so the VIX should cointinue upwards and the point swings intraday in the major indexes should increase, breaking us out of this sideways stuff.
