XLE and BPENER system

    Posted by matt on 30th of Jan 2013 at 03:50 pm

    XLE - Chart Link - the XLE system is going to cash at the close of the day

    XLE/BPNER System- Matt why is

    XLE/BPNER System- Matt why is the system going to total cash here?  Is this system anywhere in our Tools section- can't seem to pull up anywhere ?

    Thnx

    in fact you could short

    in fact you could short XLE if you are aggressive for a quick short and cover when sort term Oscillators unwind.

    parkridge - not sure what you mean by tools section, it's going to be placed in the Mechanical Systems section, but I have not done that, and I will just be listing trades and general info and not all the specific rule

    Matt I had the same

    Matt I had the same question and I don't see this specific answer.  What technical indicator is the cause of the BPENER system going into cash?  Is the BPENER closing below it's 9ema? Is is something else related to the RSI or bolinger bands?

    --Thanks

    If the system works, let's

    If the system works, let's not worry about it ;-)

    XLE/BPNER- thnx Matt-- I  was

    XLE/BPNER- thnx Matt-- I  was wondering what the specific triggers were for system to go to cash? Is it the usual suspects ? RSI bit overextended , stochs above 80 for a few days- so just prudent to take it off  here on big run up?  OR does system see ( & use) more specific triggers/ tgts  to go long, or to cash ?  Just trying to grasp the whys & wherefores.

    Thnx

    i am interested too

    For the XLE system -

    For the XLE system - actually the system really should probably e short here per my 30 plus rules.  However it would be a short term short.  I am personally short.   Will cover below the 8 SMA if you want to take it, you can still do so after hr

    As you know the XLE

    Posted by matt on 4th of Feb 2013 at 03:52 pm

    As you know the XLE system exited its long last week ion Wednesday via my email and post and one could have entered an aggressive short if they wanted too long with me.  Here's a link to the post

    If you are short XLE, I will let you know when the system would cover, you could cover below the 9 EMA or when 5 Stochastic get's oversold - short term support is obviously the 9 EMA

    the system isn't short yet

    the system isn't short yet right? pos div on 15min

    Matt have you tried running

    Posted by bkout3 on 4th of Feb 2013 at 03:54 pm

    Matt have you tried running BOIL in that system? Any thoughts on it here?

    no - but I can

    Posted by matt on 4th of Feb 2013 at 04:02 pm

    no - but I can run anything with it, I'm sure that most of the Oil and energy ETF's would do fine, kind of like OIH and XOP do well.  I do not have the system rules in Tradestation as that's next to impossible, I simply coded the trade dates so that I can easily spit out the stats.  Otherwise testing other ETF's is as simple as me changing the stock symbol, takes 2 seconds - since all the trade dates are the same.

    BOIL looks horrid and that makes sense, it's Natgas, does not have a good correlation with oil/energy stocks

    Like I said, anything that is correlated with XLE or energy stocks will work such as OIH seems to have the highest return out of the non leveraged ETF's, otherwise XOP is good, others IEZ, IEO, VDE, IXC

    Hi Matt, For those of us

    Hi Matt,

    For those of us who cannot short, is there a -1x ETF to XLE (or OIH or SOP ?)
