If I take the same settings and instead of SPY which has only
traded for 20 years and apply it to a 40 year chart of S&P 500
cash, the result is 96% winning trades, thus just an FYI I'm
probably going to adjust the settings in the SPY Pro system to take
this trade in the future,
I know you said that the short closed out. Question:
From the chart you posted the BPT Momentum turned Red.
Would that cause you to hold the short longer?
jgoot- that trade
does not use the BPT Momentum to hold the trade. As I stated,
that is simply an exhaustion trade to catch a reversion to mean
pullback, not to catch a trending trade. If I use the
momentum the results are not as good because as I showed in the
video while some trades mark tops, a lot of them don't and are
simply pullbacks in the uptrend
