    Update on the Reversion to Mean systems: 

    Nice bounce, but obviously this is a news driven environment at the moment and there is no vote tonight - so clearly if any surprises happen with in Wash, that will move the market one way or the other.  The systems don't know news, they only trade off the technicals. 

    One of the S&P 500 RSI 2 systems closed out today at the close for a nice trade, it went long last Thursday and Friday at the close.

    I have a second S&P reversion to mean system that also got an exit signal today, however it will be closing out the long on Wednesday morning - it went long last Friday at the close - this system has statistics back to 1983

    Otherwise the DVY system which went long last week is still holding the trade for now.

    the other SPY systems are still holding their trades for now as well.

    Here's a link to the performance reports to these systems, right click on the links below and save to your computer - open them in I.E.

    SPX daily RSI 1 system (closed out today)

    SPX daily alt version (will be closing out on Wed market open)

    Webinar??

    Posted by matt on 21st of Dec 2012 at 03:07 pm

    regarding the Tradestation systems that I'm offering in the Sticky post, I signed up for Gotomeeting and I could do a webinar after the market closes with those of you who might be interested?  I can only take 100 people, but with it being a Friday and Dec 21st etc, I doubt that will be an issue.  If you are interested in attending, please send me a pm private message if enough of you are not interested then I will probably do it next week.  Also this is just a test, and I will be doing more of them so don't worry if you can't attend.  

    For these systems you MUST have Tradestation because that's what they are programmed into.  However for those of you who don't have a Tradestation account, we actually have a pretty good deal set up with Tradestation whereby you can basically get your BPT membership for free because it would be refunded back to you in the form of commissions from trading.  Also, my contact Bruce told me that he would waive standard fees that TS chargers per month - so it's a decent deal if you wanted Tradestation.  

    here's the write below - again this would ONLY interest you if you wanted these systems and thought about opening a TS account.  

    -----

    You may have seen me post this on the blog.  We have an offer for subscribers to  Tradestation.  I think the details below properly explain the system as well as really any questions can/should be answered by the  Tradestation representative whose information is listed in the write-up.  Essentially it is a nothing to us in that we have to do nothing except every once in a while TS will send me a file to make sure people are still subscribers and members can get part or all of their TS subscription paid for.  This program ISN'T specific to us but still seems to have not much downside to us.  I don't think we need to force it in people's face but I thought pasting atop a newsletter every once in a while might be effective.  I leave it to your discretion when and how often.

    TradeStation is offering to reimburse our members for up to the entire cost of their BreakpointTrades.com subscription when they open an account with them. Here's how it works:
     
    If you open a new (or recently opened a new)  TradeStation account you are eligible to receive a rebate of 20% off their  trade commission fees ( over and above any current  TradeStation offers ).  This rebate is NOT applicable to the  Tradestation platform charge (which you can also get waved by reaching certain trading requirements) nor can it be applied to data feed costs but is only on commissions.  Let's say you have $100 in trading commissions in a month.  Under this program  Tradestation will rebate $20 back to you just for being an active subscriber of Breakpoint  Trades.

    You must maintain an open and active paying subscription to BreakpointTrades.com to be eligible.  We receive absolutely  NO COMPENSATION for this program.   Tradestation heard we used their platform personally and posted systems using the  Tradestation back-testing software and contacted us regarding the offer to provide an enticement for our subscribers to look into what they have to offer.  Speaking of which below is a video tour  Tradestation created to go over why they think you should switch:

     
    To participate, please contact Bruce Brotine at  TradeStation at  (888) 471-9432 (if you calling from the UK I can also provide you with a UK number) who will assign you the commission rebate code and answer any questions.   Make sure you tell him your coming from BreakpointTrades.com!

    Guys - I know that I just sprung this interview onto you and it's late on Friday - please don't worry if you can't attend, I'm doing this more as a test and will do an official one next week etc.

    As a follow up, the 60 min versions of the SPY systems closed out a long yesterday that was taken on the Dec 13th and 14th.  Again I can't post these in real time, these are best to run on your computer.  

    I'll email out the daily versions when they do a trade, but I can't do that for the 60 min because I could miss it and time is more of a factor since it is not an end of day systems.  Of course, I also give you all the daily systems as well, and others like GDX, AAPL etc, a total of 16 systems in 5 Tradestation Workspaces all formatted and ready to roll

    I talked to about a

    I talked to about a handful of you last week and set up the Systems for you last week.  I will email this to you as well, however for the 60 min SPY system, change the 'num_days_for_RSI from 3 to a 4 in your strategy, this causes the % winning trades to go up from 90.5% to 97.6%.  The profit factor increases from 25 to 149!

    a fun side note to

    Posted by matt on 24th of Dec 2012 at 10:17 am

    a fun side note to the BPT RSI 2 systems.  I have a professional version that trades ES, it has 99.2% winning trades, with 3592 trades -  however it's really not a system for most of us here because it is designed to trade large numbers of ES contracts - 100 to 600 ES contracts or more, which is a little rich for my blood and probably for most of you - the lowest # I would trade the system with would be probably 30 - 40 ES contracts, though it does better with more because what the systems does is that it takes the daily trade signals, then uses a 5 min chart to scale in an out at extreme levels and the more contracts it trades, the better it can do this.

    anyway I suppose if there are any hedgefunds here or Pros, you can contact me if you are interested. Otherwise most of us won't be trading this obviously because of the capital needed, but it's kind of neat to look at the trades and it's a slow day so posting it for fun..

    I will call you when
