Possible SPY System long entry today

    Please see my response below regarding the SPY System trade

    FYI, the SPY system make go back long today via  1st entry on SPY.  As you know it closed out the other day for a nice winning trade and went back to cash, so it's looking to go back long again.  The trade type is the same as the last one, QE LE 1,2. SPY needs to close below around 244.35 or so but that can vary.  I will confirm later in the day.

    Stockcharts has cleaned up the candle...has no tail now. What is the official trade for your system? If I decide to take it and you don't show a trade on your website, you won't give a SELL signal later.

    Yes and no - some drama here.  The trade should be here but it's not showing up on Tradestation.  The reason why is because TS and Stockcharts are showing a funky candlestick with a crazy spike low.  See images.  That spike causes the trade not to appear on the chart, HOWEVER once the candlestick is fixed and that spike taken away it should show back up.  Never saw this before, so it's a bit odd. 

    Because of this - use your discretion if you want to enter or not.  

    This weird candle also shows on Stockcharts - see the second image where I show the daily chart of SPY as well as the 5 min, the daily shows a spike $10 lower than the 5 min, it's BS

    "- some drama here."

    That crazy spike is called a STOP RUN. One of the humongous hedge funds bought all the sell stops between the projected close and some spot below the 200-day avg., then sold them at/near the real close. The fund pocketed a $zillion; the rest of us bupkus.
