The Cheat Sheet is based on end-of-day prices and intended for the current trading session if the market is open, or the next trading session if the market is closed. Please note that the Cheat Sheet page can reflect ahead of the pivot points that display on the chart. The Cheat Sheet updates when it receives a settlement price at the end of the trading session. The chart has no way to know if a market is settled, so it only updates upon receiving a price for the next session.

The projected trigger prices of the signals are listed from highest price at the top of the page to lowest price at the bottom. These are shaded in blue if the common interpretation of the signal is bullish, and shaded in red if the common interpretation of the signal is bearish.

Each projection on the ladder can be examined to determine if the price change to each trigger level will tend to confirm or reverse the price move. This legend can be found at the bottom of the Cheat Sheet page:

The complete Cheat Sheet can be used to give an indication of market timing. Blue below the current price and red above will tend to keep trading in a narrow band, whereas blue above the current price, or red below can produce a breakout where each new price level is confirmed by a new signal.

Some of these signals, such as Fibonacci Retracements, have a fixed bullish or bearish interpretation. Others, such as crossovers of a short-term and a long-term moving average, are interpreted as a reversal of the current signal.

Some of these projections will produce trigger prices so far removed from the price action that they can be ignored. The closer the trigger price to the current price, the more quickly it will come into play. A price projection of 0.00 is valid for a technical indicator if the calculation determines it will be impossible to trigger the signal.

We show four separate pivot points (2 Support Levels, and 2 Resistance Points). The Last Price shown is the last trade price at the time the quote page was displayed, and will not update every 10 seconds (as the Last Price at the top of the Quote page does). The Last Price will update only when the page is refreshed.

Pivot points are used to identify intraday support, resistance and target levels. The pivot point and its support and resistance pairs are defined as follows, where H, L, C are the current day's high, low and close, respectively. Support and Resistance points are based on end-of-day prices and are intended for the current trading session if the market is open, or the next trading session if the market is closed.

The moving average periods shown on the cheat sheet (9, 18, 40) were popular with floor traders back in the day. These moving averages are the calculated price which the underlying symbol needs to reach for the price to be considered "above the moving average." These figures are not available on a chart.

Standard Deviation, which is a measure of past volatility, provides a mathematical possibility of trading range based on the mean values over the course of 1-year. These are useful in providing statistically important support and resistance levels.

Price 1 Standard Deviation provides a possible trading range around 68% of the time. So it is anticipated that roughly 2 out of 3 times the market will stay within Price 1 Standard Deviation support and resistance range for the next trading session, and only 1 out of 3 days will the market move outside of the support or resistance levels.

I also wrote about a very unlikely meeting with one of my boyhood track and field heroes, a man on any short list of the greatest middle distance runners of all time. Check out No. 144: PETER SNELL / The greatest athlete I ever talked to, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, took refuge in his anonymity.

Back in the late July of 1976, when I was 19 and had barely escaped Grade 13 on a second try, I managed to weasel out of a couple of shifts at the Coca-Cola plant and drive up to Montreal with my buddy Gus, who later become a Mountie in B.C.. We had scored tickets to the second last day of the track and field competition at the still roofless and never-to-be-truly-finished Olympic Stadium.

The race was hugely disappointing. Viren faded, no surprised. Jerome Drayton, the Canadian world-ranked No. 1 in the marathon in the mid-70s, picked an awful time to come down with a cold. Frank Shorter fell short of winning in consecutive Olympics. And worst of all, a no-name won.

Thirty-two years ago, I was lucky enough to witness a bit of Olympic history. Some friends and I scored tickets to a few events at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. And we were just outside Olympic Stadium, on a downhill stretch, to watch the last mile of the men's marathon.

The marathon is one of the most prominent Olympic events. There really isn't a forgettable one. In 1976, even though African nations boycotted the Montreal Games because of the New Zealand national rugby team's tour of South Africa, the men's marathon had many outstanding runners and famous names. The field included: Frank Shorter, the favorite, who had won the 1972 Olympic marathon in Munich (the first American to win the gold in that event since Johnny Hayes in 1908); Bill Rodgers, who had won the Boston and New York City Marathons in 1975; and Finland's Lasse Viren, the mystery man, who had won the 5,000 and 10,000 meters in Munich and Montreal, and was running the first marathon of his career.

The conditions were poor for the runners, and maybe worse for the spectators, thanks to a steady drizzle all day long. When we finally saw the first runner approach the stadium -- a balding guy, clad all in white, we didn't recognize him. In fact, even the top contenders didn't know who he was. "All race long, I thought it was Carlos Lopes, the Portuguese runner who won the silver in the 10,000," Shorter said.

As it turned out, it was Waldemar Cierpinski, an East German who had competed internationally in the steeplechase, but had no record as a marathoner. But you'd never have known that, the way he pushed the pace that day. He looked less tired than we did on the sidewalk.

Shorter was the next runner to come into view, followed by Karel Lismont, the Belgian who had won the silver medal in the marathon in 1972. Lismont was only a few meters ahead of another American runner, Don Kardong. Then came Viren. Rodgers had dropped behind the lead pack. So had everyone else.

When the lead runners reached the stadium, the order didn't change. There were no late passes. Kardong was closing in on Lismont for the bronze, but he fell just a few strides short. And Cierpinski's win didn't look like a fluke. He won going away. In fact, he even ran a full extra lap inside the stadium at full throttle, unsure of where the finish line was.

It was an upset for the ages. And those who crossed the line behind Cierpinski couldn't grouse about it. The best man clearly had won. In general, track and field is unambiguous. Nothing is left in the hands of judges. There are no questionable calls. It's all about times, heights and distances.

Everything changed in the mid-1990s, a few years after the Berlin Wall was knocked down and the German Democratic Republic was no more. That's when the GDR's archives were opened up, and the secrets of East Germany's success in Olympic sports were revealed. Long-standing suspicions were confirmed.

My friends and I had seen history on that marathon course in Montreal. Everyone suspected that steroids were a stain on other events, like the sprints, the throws and the rest. But it seemed like the marathon was above it all. It wasn't. We'd seen the first dirty Olympic marathon.

Was it the first? Even in London in 1908, there was talk that the marathon wasn't on the up-and-up. Canadian Tom Longboat, a Boston Marathon record-holder and a prerace favorite, was in second place when he dropped out after 19 miles, suspecting that he'd been poisoned by either rival coaches or gamblers. But nothing was ever proven.

Back in 1976, some people might have bet that the marathon wasn't going to be clean. But it wasn't Cierpinski they were talking about. Lasse Viren's success had led some to believe he had been blood doping -- getting transfusions of red blood cells. Viren admitted to drinking reindeer milk, but he owned up to nothing else.

There was no testing for blood doping back in '76, but there was steroid testing. In fact, the Montreal Games were the first Olympics to have steroid testing. The testers did manage to catch one cheat in track and field: Poland's Danuta Rosani-Gwardecka, who finished 14th in the women's discus. But according to the test results, every other track-and-field event, including the men's marathon, was clean.

The 1976 Games were also the breakthrough Games for East Germany. The GDR had a population of 16 million people, but came away with a whopping 40 gold medals in Montreal, second only to the Soviet Union's 49 and ahead of the United States' total. The rest of the world had suspicions about the East Germans, but most focused on its female swimmers, who won 11 out of 13 races and looked like the Butkus sisters. Suspicions were also focused on its women's track team, which won nine of 14 events. But not on the marathon champion, Cierpinski, though.

Those left in Cierpinski's wake were stunned by his performance. "He had 100 meters on me, but late in the race I closed to within 50," Shorter said. "He looked back and accelerated and made it look easy. It was so unusual. I'd never seen anything like it in all my races before."

Four years later, Cierpinski went on to win the Olympic marathon again in Moscow. In 1983 he finished third in the marathon at the inaugural World Track and Field Championships in Helsinki. That was his last major marathon. The Soviet-led boycott of the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles denied him a shot at a third consecutive Olympic marathon gold. Still, Abebe Bikila of Ethopia was the only other runner to win two Olympic golds in track's longest test. Cierpinski's legacy looked to be secure.
