BPT Momentum turned Red

    Exhaustion Short follow up on SPY

    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
