Interesting, many of my weekly ETF systems sold last week, SPY,
DIA, IWM, SMH. XLE sold the week prior and XLV went shot the
week prior, here's the charts - not sure if that says something
about the market LOL

Matt,
In the newsletter from last nigh you show the Weekly ETF
Syst. On slide 30 you show the "Annual Rate of Return
at 1.81%" That's not all that exciting. Is that
correct or am I missing something?
Also not sure how much is invested in each ETF. Can
you also clarify "Buy and hold" below the Annual Rate?
no no no no, god it's so annoying that TS does makes that so
confusing, I called TS so many times to complain about this, that
is NOT the annual % gain.
Look at the dollar amount for the yearly gains - so let's take
example of XLE, here's the yearly gains, each trade is set to
$10,000, that means that in 2014 the system made $2353 on $10K, or
23.5%. The dollar amount is the same as percentage because
each trade is set to $10K with no compounding, I do that so that
percentages are easy to compute.
This XLE sysetm here averages about $2600 out of $10,000 per
trade or 26%
the % gain column that you see next to the Net Profit is not
yearly %, it's based on a cumulative total of the combined, which
is not annual % as you think of.
well - it's not that, I think they over complicated it by making
the % return some weird % cumulative return total thing, they
should have just made it straight % return

Ok thanks Matt. Yes you'd think a company like TS would clearly get "Annual return"
well - it's not that,

however I must clarify that

however I must clarify that those are the RVM reversion to mean systems, the corresponding breakout systems are still mostly in long positions
I think I have finally figured what I'm going to do with these systems for the website, I will let you know
