I second Mundy's point.  For that matter, I'd be all for as fulsome of a subset of the systems as possible being available as well.   Tracking multiple systems isn't hard at all if the signals are clearly and consistently articulated.  Where it gets hard is when Tradestation crashes and the alerts don't go out, requiring multiple forum comments and emails to clarify, and all that.  If there  was just a page that consistently and authoritatively gave the signals, updated at a consistent time that clearly was specified on the page (or via email) so you'd know the signals were current and updated, it wouldn't be hard to track.

CTA = commodity trading advisor.  Steve is saying $100 billion in managed futures trend-following buys would occur above SPX 4057 (on what closing basis -- daily, weekly, or monthly -- could require clarification).

Thanks for sending out the trades and providing the context, Matt.

Thanks for all you do,

Regarding the systems

Posted by mstaples37 on 26th of Jul 2022 at 05:28 pm

Thanks for all you do, Matt.  Re the ETF basket, a couple considerations:

1.  Next morning is great.  Just would note that for the west coasters and others who have crazy mornings, you would want to avoid winding up in a situation where, even sometimes, the trades don't go out until that morning.  If they all went out in the evening every time, people could count on it.  

2.  If you have or can develop a way to show on the systems page that will contain the trades when the information was last updated, that would help, even if they religiously went out each night at a particular time.   That would limit the questions you get, too.  

Thanks for all you are doing with the systems, Matt.  This new approach should be great, compared to having to deal with TradeStation crashing and a lot of the trades not being handled consistently.  We all appreciate what you guys do.

I second that; they're all

I second that; they're all good but this one stood out.  I also am a fan of the Youtube format.  I know there's always more that could be done on top of what already is, but if those could become a more frequent, perhaps even daily offering (if just a recording of you / Steve going through the back end and recording the newsletter as usual), that would be very helpful.

Thanks, appreciate all of that a great deal.  I'll keep looking to you and Steve to highlight these as relevant in markets you track--you do a great job, and that commentary in last night's newsletter was very clear on all of this, including the point about a couple months (which, amazingly, I missed)--but another aspect of the question is identifying when something is a likely blow-off move, as opposed to just a breather in a continuing trend.  We know them when we see them, usually, but anything you have on this (timeframes you usually look at, RSI, etc.) would help.  E.g., DBC already had that sort of mini-blow off type of move on the daily at the end of February.  Just curious whether it's a feel thing, like when you see ribbons really stretched, or whether there are, e.g., particular RSIs or anything you look at.

Matt, for DBC or other commodity funds, what would you look for as an entry point for new longs (in terms of time, price, etc.)?  Trying to get entry points in uptrending instruments, and distinguishing between good opps to get in versus letting something that was getting overdone unwind, is always tough for me.

Probably still will have 10 offers and go over asking.   

Thanks for the system trade

Thanks for the system trade updates and heads-ups, Matt.  Steve, hope you are feeling better and continue to.

In theory (and practice, according to John Carter), buying certain names that have been crushed in 2021 today with a hold period of a week can work well.  Makes sense in view of tax loss selling, institutions not wanting to hold losers on the books at the end of the quarter, etc.

Posted by mstaples37 on 11th of Nov 2021 at 01:46 am

Matt, the NASDAQ Composite can be traded for at least some purposes using ONEQ.  Decent spreads.  Low volume, though, so whales have to be a little wary.  It doesn't get talked about much and doesn't get much action, but it tracks the NASDAQ composite pretty well.

Liking the Youtube format.  I also like the new player, with the ability to skip to specific charts, and the actual chart links, but the Youtube versions are great as well when offered since I can put it on 1.5x and cruise through.  Neither of you guys speaks slowly or anything; I'm just used to it from listening to podcasts at 2x most of the time, and always am short on time.  Thanks for the great work.

Thanks, Matt -- appreciate it.  Looking forward to seeing those things you've been working on!

Thanks, Matt -- appreciate it.  Seems some hopes have been dashed (so far) relative to expectations earlier this year regarding legalization.

Matt, curious whether you guys have a view on pot stocks ... here's a quick amateur-hour chart from me of an ETF, POTX.

Thanks for tracking the systems and providing the updates, Matt.  Hope folks have done well the past couple days more generally.

Thanks, Matt.  Hope you feel better and that it's nothing serious.
