Hollow Red candles that open and close outside the Lower BBs
often mark reversals - last time was the low at the beginning of
August - but sometimes you need further downside probing
first...

Hey Matt, I was messing about on TradeStation and noticed there
appears to be a volatility index for TLT: $VXTLT.X - might be
worthwhile backtesting the BB Volatility system on it?
Posted by crossharry on 27th of Aug 2024 at 05:13 am
Occasionally the STS can be lower - here is an excerpt from the
KISS Systems FAQ:
it looks like each new STS always moved up to a higher price
from the previous one, is that true?
In most cases this is what you will see, probably 90% or more
of the time. However, there are times when the new STS will be at a
lower price than the previous one. The reason for this is because
the system is using multiple average true range calculations (which
are volatility-based,) and when the new STS stop drops lower than
the previous one, the system likely handed off one of the ATR
functions to a wider one, hence the stop gets wider.

Yeah, surely no need to bear the cost for SMS. I'm on an
Android phone here in the UK and could get alerts for my linked

Hi Matt, user 'najor' was asking about AGQ trade #116 - if you
go into the trade list, #116 is a past trade that entered on May 6
and closed out on May 22. From the way najor phrased their question
about whether an end of day bar is a "continuation or an exit", I'm
not sure they have quite understood that High Performance KISS
trades only exit on hitting the STS, which is likely to be
intrabar.
On the trade list, the 'Exit Date' for trade #116 is down
as is 05/22/2024 16:00, however what I was trying to explain is
that 16:00 is not the actual time the trade exited, it is merely a
reference to that particular (130 min) time bar/candle. The actual
time of exit is unknown, but we do know it will have been intrabar
on this 16:00 bar/candle because the OHLC data shows the low to be
42.7 i.e. lower than the STS on that date.
I hope I have not made things more confusing - delete my post if
so!
Posted by crossharry on 17th of Aug 2024 at 12:26 pm
Hi, I think 16:00 just refers to the bar in question, not the
actual time the trade closed out. In this AGQ case, it's the last
130 min bar of the trading day. If it was the bar before, time
stamp for Exit would be 13:50. However, all these High Performance
KISS System trades only close out if the STS is hit. For trade #116
of AGQ, if you go to the chart, you can see that the current STS
for that trade is 43.0134. However, if you put your cursor over the
16:00 bar to see the OLHC data, you can see that the low of the bar
is 42.7 i.e. lower than the STS. Therefore, some time during the
course of that 130 min 16.00 bar, the STS will have been hit and
the trade should be closed out.

If we see anything we think needs addressing, do you want us to
report it here or by mail? For example, here is a chart of SSO 78m,
showing what appears to be a losing trade that triggers on 22 July.
However, it's really a 'phantom' trade as the previous trade from
05/31 is still running at this point, as per the STS levels that
you can see. If you go to the Trades tab, this phantom trade is
missing as expected.

Hey Matt, for the index futures KISS systems, does the '% of
winning trades' metric tend to get better as the time frames get
shorter? I think 78min tends to be the shortest time frame you
publish, is that the best %?
