    Sorry guys, it's all my fault.

    I started trading the GDX system. Looks like it's three out of three for me. Cry

    I'm sure if i stop trading it, the system will come back to its winning ways.

    Please advise...

    Please advise your trading decisions on GDX, I will treat it as rule #12 for the GDX mechanical trading system LOL

    Well I didn't want to

    Well I didn't want to say anything but.......

    No, seriously, it has done this before especially when it is chopping out a more triangular pattern.  At least in the past we have always bounced back well so we will continue to monitor but overall this is not necessarily much out of the norm.

    What I am watching on this signal is that we did NOT get another stock in the index go on a guy but instead say the index hold and the declining 5 day MA caused the trigger so I want to see how the trade reacts when that is the case.  That is not a separate stat that we have tracked in the past but I may start now.
