I greatly apologize, the SPY system
did NOT go long, price did not close below 134.79, SPY closed at
134.83
I'm greatly sorry for this, TS
reported the wrong price at the close and then updated it.
However SPY did not close below 134.79, so the system is still in
cash! Obviously SPY is now closed, if you own SPY and wanted
to exit, SPY is open until 8:00 PM EST. Again this will not
happen again, the SPY closed at 134.83 that was obvious, I should
have ignored the weird tick at the end of the day. at least I
know this going forward. Again I apologize greatly
SPY system did NOT go long!

Never a dull moment, eh Matt? It happens! Scottrade printed 134.83 and I was wondering if they were wrong and TS was correct.
