Dave, thanks so much for taking time on your vacation to post. Can you please clarify that your "yellow alerts" could be interpreted either of 2 ways, i.e. "beware of impending bullish buy signal" (generally followed by a green alert), as well as "beware of impending bearish sell signal" (generally followed by a red alert). Am I interpreting this correctly?
Thanks much!
Mike
