NOTE: As a Platinum Zone member, you may call Sunny at (760) 930-1050 if you have any questions about terms used herein. CommentaryTHURSDAY NIGHT 10/17/2002 DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS MARKET SUMMARY (DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY CHARTS): Today we rose right on up the to Attractor at 8275, formed by the downsloping trendline from 5/27/2002. It would be surprising if we don’t see a small correction tomorrow down to the 8100 Gann number before trying to push through the overhead resistance. Next Attractor of serious interest is up at 8526. We should continue to see serious upward movement as the double cycles pull the chart prices upward until December 20, 2002. By that time the Dow should be in or near the 9000 area.
On a monthly basis the Dow just passed back through the neckline on the Head & Shoulders pattern that has been forming since 1998. By technical measuring techniques, it didn’t go low enough, saying that we still have more to go on the downside. But, just not at this time.
QQQ MARKET SUMMARY (DAILY CHART): As we said just a few days ago, the market would use the “resistance becomes support” adage and test the downsloping trendline from the top. Today it did just that. I still think it will make an attempt to touch the Attractor at 24.40, but there is no way to tell whether it will go down first and then up or the other way around.
Investors: Our long-term model is still short until proven otherwise. It will probably go long tomorrow, but we are strict system followers and we will thus wait for the official signal. No jumping the gun. QQQ MARKET FORECAST (15-MINUTE CHART): Today was filled with pennants, suggesting that everyone was scared to take it higher and afraid to take it lower. A true chicken market. Traders: Our short-term model is long the QQQs from this morning. Nothing much to write home about from today’s narrow range channel, but we should see some action tomorrow. TECHICALLY SPEAKING: Technically, on the QQQs, the ATR is increasing, giving us more room for trading! We like that part. It also means that when the ATR gets up to about 1.35 (now at 1.00) it will slow down and begin to narrow the range again. RSI is near, but not at 65 yet. That means to me that we are not really showing the strength that a solid bullish move should have. We may just be moving up on short covering, or on public exhuberance. But in any case, the double overlapping cycles [see chart] should carry us on higher, taking RSI into and above the 65 range. On a broader view, the bottoms of the RSI are upsloping, making higher lows, and that’s an encouraging sign. And, again don’t forget that carving out a solid bottom formation can take a long, long time.

percentage gains/losses experienced by investors would depend on many factors
not accounted for in these hypothetical statistics, including, but not limited

The CFTC requires the following disclosure statement in reference to
hypothetical results:
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH
ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS
LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE
FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE
ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF
THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY
PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES
NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY
ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE
ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN
SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT
ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS
IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT
BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS
AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.

to purchasing a trading system from this or any other system vendor or investing

incentive or advisory fees. It may be necessary for accounts subject to these
charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of
their assets. In addition, one should carefully study the accompanying
prospectus, account forms, disclosure documents and/or risk disclosure
statements required by the CFTC or NFA, which are provided directly by the
system vendor and/or CTA's.
