BCC III measure how long since a 99 day new high occurred on the S&P 500. When used alone, if it has been more than 99 days since a 99 day new high, then BCC III is bearish and you are out of the market.

My thoughts on why it hasn't performed as well since 2013 is perhaps because when out of the market, cash has earned no interest. In the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, cash was earning interest. Of course, it could also be that the 99 day high and 99 day back look was too tuned.
