Wow 100 favorites! I logged in as you just to see and sure enough you do! PLTR was the ONLY one out of your massive favorites list that had a new a new STS, nice trade from the May 30th entry up 32%.  I see you added RIVN as a new favorite, the system is up 52.4% on this open trade

image is from my admin side, shows you only received one symbol in your KISS email table update. And some of your favorites are below - honestly some nice trades there

lshereer- MARA on the KISS tables didn't stop out.  Remember from the FAQ (read it again if it's been a while), the standard default KISS systems do not stop out at the STS prices intra day, they require a close confirmation. MARA hit the STS intra day at 21.5 but closed at 21.65. The high performance will use the STS stops exactly for a stop. And again you know how things are, sometimes it's better to wait for a close confirmation, and sometimes it's worse.  Otherwise I just wanted to clarify those default KISS systems do not stop out without a close confirmation

TSDD

TSDD - Chart Link the inverse TSLA chart looked like it wanted higher - obviously depending on earnings, however the chart looked like it wanted to pop

for sure, and of course

High Performance DBA went long earlier

for sure, and of course everyting has been strange even politics way more than normal 

Mean reversion systems

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 03:52 pm

all day long the SPY trend/pullback was looking to exit, but that went away on that dip in price the last 30 min - too bad, I wouldn't have minded one of those clossing out

High Performance DBA went long earlier

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 03:51 pm

you can see the trade on the chart. I also added the stats - which are very good

also, here's how those alerts will look over SMS text message, see second image

when that product is finally released that's what you will get on SMS texts. 

also the high performance KISS tables will update intra day automatically to reflect the trades, NOT just at the close like the standard stuff does

I'll comment here and in newsletter. Exit criteria is closing above short term MA's like 5 or 8 or 9 SMA, I don't have those in front of me, and there's also a trailing component that can kick in once in a while to hold the trade longer

NYCB bank nice base - earnings on Thursday morning

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 03:15 pm

NYCB - Chart Link- I like the base on this regional bank - but remember earnings are on Thursday. 

Clearly the stock did not react well to earnings back in late January as that's when NYCB gapped down form 31 to 15. That said price is less than half what it was back in January, about 60% lower and it's been basing so maybe it won't have a bad reaction to earnings this time, we'll see...

SPX comments and QQQ

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 03:12 pm

$SPX - Chart Link- tagged 9 EMA at highs logical pullback

$SPX - Chart Link- bounce went into that supply zone I showed last night, pulled back

$SPX - Chart Link- 2hr view

$SPX - Chart Link- 15 min view

QQQ - Chart Link-

what I can't tell you is wave A down was complete or if this is a wave 4.  And wave 4 could be complete or that could have been wave a of B, still needing a b and c 

well see the reaction on earnings

otherwise IWM small caps leading as well as Dow

PACB - Chart Link- getting stronger, up 5.6% already nice trade off the backtest of the broken trendline. I spotted the setup last week becaue of the nice base and the strong up candle on strong volume, the pullback to backtest that trendline was the optimal entry, or even early this morning was okay

CORN following through

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 10:02 am

CORN - Chart Link- I showed a tight coil on the weekend that provided a long trigger yesterday

USO Crude oil down

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 10:01 am

USO - Chart Link has pulled back into a little demand zone, we'll see how it acts there

GDX, Gold, USD

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 10:00 am

GDX - Chart Link- down today, weaker than the metal

GLD - Chart Link- metal slight bounce off demand zone, however the miners are down

$USD - Chart Link- nice pop today, logical rally off that supply zone last week

FORD

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 09:58 am

F - Chart Link- was a fantastic swing, hope you took some profits prior to today, so far a nice move below the 9 EMA, the 20 MA is likely the next target

otherwise there was no MACD divergence at the this, such suggests this maybe some sort of 4th wave pullback vs a major high, however the doji candle last Thursday provided a very tight stop to lock in gains using the low of that doji for a stop

for clarity the volatlity systems for SPY and DIA went long yesterday not short - as the volatlity instrument for those ETF's (VIX and VXD) closed back insider their upper Bollinger Bands.  Short signals occur when those volatity instruments are trading below their respective Bollinger Bands and close back inside.  recent signals were longs, not shorts

of the SPY and ES open mean reverion system trades, the SPY Trend/Pullback is currently showing an exit, so it could exit today (upper left).  I'm not yet seeing it on ES and the QE momo yet.

for the volatility systems - none of these are looking to exit yet either (again these are not official systems trades that are tracked on the website yet

Ouch? the market is up.  Again the official website trades are the mean reversion systems and KISS systems - SPY and ES systems went long last Friday.  I posted the QQQ volatilty system on Friday so if anyone happened to take that you did very well and can close it out now for a profit - hell even if you took the trade on Monday morning on the gap up you did very well - otherwise VIX systems are not emailed out at this time

and hopefully you played more than just the Trend/Pullback mean reversion systems - there has been very few signals this year because of the strong market trend, the KISS systems nailed most of the uptrend this year so hopefull you played some of those and some other trade ideas here 

maybe I'm still confused by your question which I apologize for - feel free to send me a private message here, I can talk to you on the phone later or we can do a quick Zoom callto answer your questions if I'm not covering them here

PACB bouncing off that trendline backtest

Posted by matt on 23rd of Jul 2024 at 09:43 am

Hello Eddigold - the VIX systems I discussed yesterday are the default Stockcharts one that uses Bolinger Bands of 20/2 settings.  This also works well for the VVIX, however I didn't discuss the stats for the VVIX Bollinger Band system, but they are very similar to the VIX / BB stats

The volatilty systems that I have coded in Tradestation use different settings for Bollinger Bands.  I discussed what the stats were with the default 20/2 settings used on Stockcharts, however the various stats I showed here and last night were ofcuston settings for SPY, and DIA, and QQQ.  

The custom SPY Vix BB system triggered yesterday as did the standard default setting for Stockcharts.  The DIA also triggered, and the QQQ triggered on Friday.

I posted the QQQ volatility system on Friday and discussed it on the weekend, and I posted the SPY and DIA yesterday and discussed them - that said, remember I don't email these out as system trades for the website at this time - I posted them for informational purposes. If you choose to do one or more of these that's your choice but they are not communicated in real time here for official website system trades at this time. 

These also close out the trade after price closes above a short term moving average such as the 8 SMA or or 9 SMA, it varies depending on the backtested seettings.  There's also a trailing stop that can kick in that wills use the previous day's lows for a stop.

anyway in case you or anyone took one or more of these trades, I'll communicate what the do, when they close out etc

otherwise in the future if I add these 12 volatility sytemes, I'll have a section on the website with stats and the exact trade rules etc.
