Well, not everyone will be trading the same ETFs.  Some will use the 2x and 3x.  And there's several 2x to choose from.  That will spread the wealth.

I only see the SPY tab when I view the blog Non-Threaded.  It doesn't show up in the Threaded view.

I did not receive that message, and Matt posted " the system will most likely not be doing a trade today!"

Was this a text message you got?  Or an email?

Ha, "I would not like

Ha, "I would not like to disable".  Great use of a double negative.   Wink

BPGDM comments FYI

What am I missing?  If the BPGDM remains unchanged the 8 SMA will overlap it.  Does this qualify as a cross now?  I thought the BPGDM would need to rise in order to cross the 8 SMA.

Time Decay

options - thanks

Posted by ascr on 21st of Jan 2011 at 09:39 am

Something not discussed yet is time decay.  Time decay means the value of your options are going to decay faster the closer you are to expiration. This is important to understand when holding options for longer periods.

I use options in place of buying stock for swing trades.  Here's my recipe.

Buy LEAPs.  These options have an expiration of 1-2 years away.  This gives them alot of time value that won't degrade much over the course of a swing trade.

Buy roughly 2 strike prices in-the-money.  You're looking to get a Delta as close to 0.70 as you can find.  This means for every $1 the stock moves your option will move $0.70.  Again this is adding to the intrinsic value of the option.

$BPGDM Historical

Posted by ascr on 6th of Dec 2010 at 04:27 pm

Matt, I have $BPGDM data back to Feb 2008.  You mentioned you only have the 2009 forward data.  Let me know if you'd like it.  Also, anyone else who wants it, just let me know.


FWIW my backtesting shows the best results with a Long entry using the 6SMA and a short entry using the 3SMA.

Many thanks Matt, and BPT. I just exited my first GDX Mech. Sys. trade with a 45% gain.  I used in-the-money LEAP Calls instead of trading the stock.  My exit point was a 15% gain in the stock from entry.
