It’s been a while since I updated the Turnaround Tuesday study, so I thought I would do so today.
The stats tables below all show results of buying at the close when SPX
is down for a certain number of days and the exiting the following day. The results are broken out by day of the
week. Note that the day listed is the
trigger day – not the performance day.
So the Monday trigger tracks Tuesday’s performance. Tuesday’s trigger tracks Wednesday’s
performance…and so on.
In every case Tuesday has shown the most gains – hence the
Turnaround Tuesday reputation appears well earned. Though it wasn’t the highest percentage in
every case, it was the strongest day on average.
Interestingly, I this time I also looked at instances where
the SPX had pulled back more than 3 days.
Those results are shown below.
Under conditions of a 4 day or greater pullback Tuesday has disappointed. Monday has been the standout winner.
But none of this tells the whole story. For a more detailed breakdown of overnight
vs. day gains I would suggest checking out the Overnight Edges TurnaroundTuesday study. Results there are quite intriguing.
