 per Eli Mintz,
 $VIX is in backwardation today Feb 2, 2018
 ($VIX futures contango is negative and settles at -4.16%)
 There is a tail wind for $VXX and $UVXY holders
 The long term $VIX futures are the best guess of the market at what average volatility will be like going forward.
 Market believes that going forward, $VIX will be lower than current spot $VIX of 17.31

 To me this code could be applied to any filter from 13th_floor's deadly combo to TRO's Run Forrest Run to just a filter of S&P 500 stocks as a trigger. Using cma(DMA(8,-5),1) above (+)/below(-) previous  cma(DMA(8,-5),8)  as the trigger.
 Just throwing this out there for people to study if they want.

 Well until cma(DMA(8,-5),1) cross above cma(DMA(8,-5),8) its still in a downward movement-
 Unless someone has a Holy Grail indicator
 
 IMHO!

 Good answer! I should have asked based on analyzing previous down moves do you think we are close to a bottom in this downtrend?

 I modified one of Kevin's Sharpe Allocation filters and embedded the code into my DMA8 filter.  I do not know if it buys me anything.  My goal is to find something that can get you in and out of a position faster  when a trend changes abruptly.  You can add whatever Bull/Inverse pair that you like to it (UGAZ/DGAZ, LABU/LABD, ZIV/VXZ, TMF/TMV, etc).  I'm just playing around since I couldn't go skiing today.
