April 25, 2010 - Spiral Calendar correlation of October 11, 2007 and September 29, 2008 and the Flash Crash

Surely everyone recalls the October 11, 2007 high.  But most probably don't recall September 29, 2008:

I was 'browsing' my Spiral Calendar worksheet and, for 'fun' decided to scan what might have occurred in the spiral outward from October 11, 2007.  Lo and behold there stood out my personal best trading day in my career; September 29, 2008.  I was holding 9000 put contracts (900K shares) of QQQ that were, at the beginning of the day about $2 out of the money and purchased for an average entry of $.25 per share (as high as $.6 and as low as $.14) on the September 18/19, 2008 squeeze.  I think that September 29, 2008 is the day the House rejected the bailout but hazy on that.

But take a look at the spiral it is on.  It's on the 12th interval  corresponding the square of 12 or 144 which translates into 354 days or the synodic lunar year (12 X 29.53).

Don't stop there.  Take a look another 4 spirals forward and what do you see?

April 25, 2010, one day before the top preceding the Flash Crash.  Oh, that's 1 day off from the top.  No, no, no.  April 25, 2010 was a Sunday.  In my book, October 11, 2007 plus the 16th interval perfectly predicted the Flash Crash top on Monday April 26, 2010.


I have April 28, 2014 as a date to watch derived from Mikula's definition of "Gann's true eclipse method" that identifies accelerations in the market.  I'll post the research separately.
