14. Prediction of the stock market turmoil at the end of October 1997, based on an unpublished extension of the theory, have been formally issued ex-ante on September 17, 1997, to the French office for the protection of proprietary softwares and inventions under number registration 94781. In addition, a trading strategy has been devised using put options in order to provide an experimental test of the theory. A 400% profit has been obtained in a two-week period covering the mini-crash of October 31, 1997. The proof of this profit is available from a Merrill Lynch client cash management account released in November 1997. See also H. Dupuis, "Un krach avant novembre", Tendances, 18. September 1997, page 26, from the work of N. Vandewalle, P. Boveroux, A. Minguet and M. Ausloos, using the same type of log-periodic signals.
