    I had no idea the gdx system went short on the 4th...........I mean, its fine, it went higher, hopefully it doesn't gap too much down in the morning and I'll short ...

    go to "newsletters" and mouse over last Thursday, Nov 4th. click on "GDX swing system update" and you will see Matt has four options for how to play this particular circumstance. Interestingly, one approach for selling and/or going short (if you've already sold) involves using a 60 minute chart and following either the 60/3 slo sto for a cross under 80, or watch for the GDX:GLD ratio to break the trendline. For the trendline, see Matt's blog post of Nov 4th w/ a Stockchart.com graph.

    Michael, technically it did not go short. It just hit profit target and cashed out. Rule #4 says:

    4. Exit Longs when $BPGDM goes above 83.5%

    mama -- oh -- thanks -- so I should be cashed out but not short, right?

    Correct. That is my understanding of the system and that is where I am with it.
