FYI - regarding the SPY systems, here's the deal so
far:
- The SPY Pro system will likely take a long position today if
we close down like this
- The SPY Very 2 system is not yet triggering a long, needs
lower prices
- The SPX Ver 2 system (cash SPX) is still long from June 20th
at 1588, and won't close this long until the 34 length Stochastic
falls below 80%
- The SPY RSI 2 system will take a 50% long position at the
close if the 2 RSI closes below 10%, you can check this on your own
easily by watching a daily chart of SPY with an RSI 2.
Remember you can check the status us of the systems about 5 - 10
min after the close from the Tradestation Systems section of the
website, by clicking on the '
Trade' Tab for Basket Performance, this shows all the open trades. It takes me 5 - 10 min
to update this section because I have to manually upload the files
to the website and TS does not finalize the daily system trades for
about 2 - 3 min after the close because SPY jumps around a bit.
Some things to
consider:
If the market has put in some short of intermediate top, then
these systems will probably be buying too early and take some heat
- so you have to decide if you wish to take the trades or not.
The SPY systems have had no losing trades a year, the SPY pro
system has had about 8 winning trades in a row thus they could be
due for a losing trade, however we have thought that way before and
been wrong, hence you have to decide for yourself.
Also, If the systems buy into a bad long trade where would they
stop out? The SPY Pro and Ver 2 would stop out on a close
back above the 8 day simple moving average (SMA) and the SPY RSI 2
system would stop out on a close back above the 9 day SMA.
FYI if the SPX closes in this range, then none of the systems
will be taking any trades because the market would have close too
far off the lows and thus the indicators would no longer be
oversold
