Hi, I was wondering if the ES QE BTS system has closed yet after
being stopped out. I usually follow the systems to the letter, and
they have been nicely profitable this month! However this one
started showing a small loss today. This is a line I'd rather
not cross, after having seen a gain of $7,700 on paper at one point
for this system. Thanks.
Hi Matt, could we have an update on the
short trades on the DIA and SPY that were entered on June 5
under the VIX Bollinger Bands preliminary systems?
Thanks.
I didn't act on a daily KISS signal for SPX last week based on
the audio for Chart 10 of the Jan. 18 newsletter. Did misunderstand
that the signal didn’t happen? At this stage the SPY systems point
to an eventual retracement so it seems wiser for me to wait rather
than acting late on a KISS signal.
I wasn't going to follow weekly KISS signals because they are
too slow to respond in this down/sideways market.
FYI I have checked *all* my email folders and have not received
this message. I've received other such emails in the past.
Incidentally, a response would be appreciated on my postings of
Dec. 13 and Jan. 12: It is not possible to receive SMS alerts for
SPY & ES systems without also receiving SMS alerts for trade
ideas, which are disruptive to me because I am not interested in
them at this time. On Dec. 13 James Roe replied that "We're pushing
an update to SMS here in a few days and that should be addressed."
Any estimate of when this will be done? Thanks!
Hello, on Dec. 13 I posted that it was not possible to receive
Spy system alerts without also receiving alerts for trade ideas,
which I am not interested in at this time. John Roe replied that
"We're pushing an update to SMS here in a few days and that should
be addressed." Any estimate of when this will be done?
Thanks.
Thank you for the tables and charts of KISS systems for
different assets that are in beta-test. They'll be a great addition
to the toolbox. Here is some feedback on a different feature: the
SMS alerts. The website allows me to turn on alerts for the Spy
system separately from alerts for trades ideas from Matt and Steve.
But in practice it is not possible to receive Spy system alerts
without also receiving alerts for trade ideas, which I am not
interested in at this time. I am on the west Coast and the alerts
for trade ideas wake me up unnecessarily on most days. Please let
me know if this can be fixed otherwise I will have to unsubscribe
from alerts entirely.
Yes, I have very nice net profits from trading the systems this
year and I appreciate that. Trading options in the 15-min
time window can be stressful but can be very profitable. But
leverage is also available through futures. It is on my todo
list to become more familiar/comfortable with trading futures with
good risk management.
Matt, two things. 1. Regarding the signal to take a second entry
in the SPY QE 3.2, you had sold 1/2 of the first entry for that
strategy on 9/28 due to market conditions. Your posting
implies that you would still buy two option contracts for the 2nd
entry today as you normally would, rather than half as many.
Is that correct?
2. For what it's worth, I'll share how I screwed up
yesterday. I did sell half of two different option positions for
SPY Bear long 1st and 2ns entries, and bought a new one for SPY
Bear Exhaustion as I meant to. But in the scramble to get
this done before 4:15 pm, I lost track of the need to set stops for
the remaining SPY Bear Long options. I am paying dearly for it
today! Lesson learned on my ability to set up multiple trades
under time pressure.
Thank you Matt for the systems. Agreed that it is up
to us to keep track of our trades for each system separately.
I do it with a spreadsheet that also tallies my
gains/losses. If we don't follow all the system signals,
that's our individual decision but knowing if/how you'd do it is
valuable information.
Hello, concerning the hi mid lo 1st entry on ES - is it
confirmed after refreshing ES again as planned? I need to
leave home and would like to know if I can enter the trade.
Thanks.
Hi Matt, on the speadsheet of MES trades I was wondering if you
meant to buy 2 contracts for the 2nd entries taken this week, to be
consistent with other 2nd entries made earlier. It only shows
1 contract on the spreadsheet. Thanks.
Hello Matt, thank you for working on extending the SPY strategy
to more ETFs. I read in a recent newsletter that you plan to
extend it to TLT. I was wondering if you would provide it for
another major asset class represented by an index of commodities
like DBC or DJP, if it is applicable to them.
Ditto. I don't know if I'd have Matt's patience. Is
it because there has been a large investment in writing strategies
in TradeStation's proprietary language? But some converters
to other languages seem to be available.
For the QE BTS 3.2 system 1st entry long, shouldn't it be : $10K
SPY (rather than SSO), 1 (rather than 2) SPY May 20th call options
with 408 strike price ?
