Hi Matt,

    I'd suggest that you send an official notification about the SPY Pro system after the close.  If you want to warn us that the system MAY take a long at the close, that's great, but you would then follow up with another email after the close to confirm that it took a long position or to let us know that it did NOT take a position.

    To keep things simple from your side, I have no problem with ONLY ONE official notification, which of course will have to be AFTER the close.   As you've noted, we can trade SPY during After Hours trading until 8PM Eastern Time.

    I concur with pimacanyon.  Once

    I concur with pimacanyon.  Once after the close is enough......and less confusing when it goes down to the wire like today.

    thanks, I agree that it

    thanks, I agree that it would be MUCH easier for me and then we don't have to worry about the change in signal that can occur.  In fact when I trade the system, most of the time I enter the trade in after hrs anyway

    However I will get complaints from folks who say that they can't trade the system because their retirement accounts won't allow them to, or some guys like to buy Rydex funds and you have to submit your order before the close.  However my thought is that if you are really serious about following the system, just open a normal trading account.  Heck, even my IRA retirement account I can do after hrs trading.

    so I would love to change the format to sending the signal after the close, would be 10 times easier for me, and like I said, I can send an intra day email to let you know that there is potential for a trade, but the official signal comes after the close

    Hello Matt,

     

    I am one of those subscribers who do trade mutual funds and would have to trade prior to the market close.  So an intra day email to let one know of a potential trade would be fine with me.  Just give the parameters and I could follow it for the rest of the day and the decision is mine whether to enter the trade or not.

    SPY Pro System Notification suggestion

    Posted by pimacanyon on 2nd of Dec 2013 at 04:38 pm

    To be clear, I would much rather have an official notification that I know I can take a position on than to have one (before the close) that might might have to reverse.  Today I bought based on your first email and now I will have to sell that position.    So I vote for simplicity:  Send out the notifications ONLY after the close.  That way all of us will know that it's official. (The system cannot change its mind after the close!)
