Auto Signals Blog - Going Subscription July 31st, 2013

We've watched with interest the signals and the markets, providing a free service tracking the half-hour chart for over 100 days now. Although we have a donation page listed on our analysis site and the signals site, the amounts haven't been enough to continue offering this service for free on a continuing basis.

We thank those that have generously donated, and although it was an experiment to see if we could rely on the altruistic nature of the Bitcoin community, we have to conclude that either our service was viewed as lacking (we certainly hope not!), or there simply aren't enough generous people out there.

This is the official notice that we're winding down the signals blog - if you are interested in having an emailed alert to your inbox, please see this page on our analysis site for more info:

There are some fundamental changes occurring in the BTC market at the moment, and we believe it would be in your interest to subscribe. Rates will be emailed to interested users - highly affordable, we might add - with no obligation on your part, if you choose not to.

Thanks for reading, it has been an interesting experience for all of us.

May 2013 - Greatest Hits Summary

As promised, here's a few chart snapshots of our indicators in action. While we can't include the indicator sets themselves in the shots, we annotate where our signals fired - just like you'd be aware of if you followed this signal blog.

Postmortem - Massive Decline From 266 Analyzed

Sometimes we're asked questions about our calls and indicators, and how they would've performed under unusual conditions. We've selected the historic decline from 266 as our test. Not unsurprisingly, our indicators were up to the challenge.

Take a look at our annotated chart:

Intraday Alerts - Further Explanation

The recent action has caused a flurry of questions about why we would have two "Bull" alerts back-to-back, and not a sequence like "Bull" - "Bear" - "Bull". It's quite simple - take a look at the chart example below.

There are times when we experience "Chop" - where prices tend to narrowly oscillate in a small range. This is enough to prevent an outright "Bear" alert, so there's nothing to do until conditions change enough for a "Bull" alert to be triggered.

A simpler example of a "Bear" alert is in the chart below.

Here you can see a single alert that is issued - and we start to slide in a rather regular pattern of gradual decline.

This should help you wrap your head around what these alerts are about, and how to position your trading strategies around them.
