    Matt, thanks for the info, so are we going to get alerts on this new system or the alerts are sent based on the old system? is there a web page where we can check on this new system during the day ?

    thanks!

     

    NEW GDX System

    When does the new system go into effect?  When the new system goes into effect will you send out an alert on the daily signal and the intra-day signal, have you decide yet?

    I know this is a future question but will this work on SLV?

    I'm not sure yet, maybe

    I'm not sure yet, maybe next week IDK.  However if there is a change or signal, I'll send it out.  Obviously a new buy signal is not even close to occurring at this point.

    Riggio was kind enough to

    Riggio was kind enough to do some statistics on the GDX system using the ultra ETF's like DUST, here's his comments

    Matt, I know questions will come up about using NUGT/DUST so I did a quick check on performance. Start date is buy NUGT on 2-10-11.

    For NUGT trade percentages were 7.8, 13.8, -4.8, 28.1, 17.4, -2.3, 8.0, 7.8 and 0.9%. 
    For DUST, -0.8, 28.9, -0.4, 5.3, -5.4,17.7, 0.2, 12.2 and currently bought at 31.54 and DUST is as 44.22 as I write this for a 40% gain.

    If you bring up using 3x ETFs be sure to confirm the figures. Some small losing trades but a number of nice % winning trades.

    JOHN

    Thanks to Riggio for that.

    Thanks to Riggio for that. I have no bias against leveraged ETFs, however the problem I see with these is that their average volume is only a 10th of the 1X ETF (in the case of GDX). I would prefer to try and trade with the higher volume, but with the need to short, and the inability, I would still need to use the leveraged DUST with an average daily volume of about 200,000 shares. I guess I could use it, and just cut my purchase by half.

     

    Seems strange there is not a 1x inverse, when there is a 2X.

    Reminder: DUST just went from 2x to 3x...

    so DUST would be up

    so DUST would be up 40% on this move per that last system trade, not bad.
