It's 0.53 as of today, unless my math is wrong (which it might be). Look at the official graph later. It has a stellar track record.

Interesting. I've literally never heard of such an indicator till now. I'm looking it up and it seems like it could potentially be very insightful.

I SELL equities if the S&P500 loses its 6 month moving average minus a 1% fudge factor, so I'm selling on Friday August 30, if $SPX >= 5246. That's -1.7% away from where we are now.
