    Matt everything is clear but the only concern is that you have 10% loss protection for the system! In the past 19 years, Did any signal/trade had a  10% loss on the system stats?

    that stop loss on the

    that stop loss on the SPY Pro and Ver 2 is 10.5% not 10%.  The Stop loss on the SPY RSI 2 system is 9% for the first 15 days, then drops down to 4%.  The Stop loss on the DVY system is only 4%

    For the SPY pro, the largest draw down was 10.05% in Feb of 2009 when it took a long trade - given the extreme volatility of that time when everyone thought that the financial system was going to collapse, I don't consider that out of bounds.

    Matt , unless I am smoking something funny! I looked back at the trade stats and I don't see the 10.5% back in Feb 2009!

    LOL yes you need to

    LOL yes you need to sell me some of that good stuff that you are smoking  Tongue Out

    anyway you are looking at it the wrong way, the system had a draw down of 10.04% in Feb of 2009, however the reason that I set the stop loss at 10.5% was so that trade would NOT stop out because that trade turned out to be a monster 25% winning trade, does this make sense?  I set the stop loss just above the largest draw down trade

    please see the attached trade from Feb 2009, it should make sense to you now why I have the stop loss at 10.5%

    guys FYI regarding the SPY

    guys FYI regarding the SPY Pro system - if you wanted to take the scale outs, the 1% profit target comes in at a price of $164.96, so if you wanted to scale out of 20% of your shares there, then I suggest that you simply place a GTC sell limit order for that price in your account so that it would automatically execute there.

    The Scaleout version exits 20% of its position at a 1% gain, another 20% at a 2.5% gain, another 20% at a 4.5% gain, and the remaining 40% at the signal exit.  Otherwise the non-scale out version just exits everything at the signal exit vs scaling out.  The decision is up to you.  

    Remember the SPY Pro and SPY Ver 2 need a close at least above the 8 day SMA to get an exit, that's still quite a ways away.

    and honestly if anyone is very scared of the market, you can sell everything now if you want to for a winning trade and go to cash, again your decision

    I do the same thing with the SPY RSI 2 system and DVY system, the stop loss is set just above the maximum trade draw down. 

    Thanks Matt!
