I bought XIV on the combined system triggers (buy and sell) and
made 28% in the last trade. XIV tends to move fast up or down so
it's probably best to pick an exit strategy and stick with it (SPY
system triggers, 20d, percentage gain you don't want to go below,
etc. I'm sure the best strategy to use changes with each trade! But
as I said, for simplicity I just use the SPY combined system
triggers and plan to continue doing that.

Matt's SPY Pro System is the "Combined System" I was referring
to (Matt calls it the Combined System). On the last trade (Sept 12)
when that system said Buy, I bought SPY and XIV (varies, but 50%
SPY and 50% XIV). When it said Sell, I sold SPY and XIV. Simple as
that, I typically wouldn't set my own stop loss, I let the
SPY Pro System determine when to sell (although you could choose
your own exit strategy if you wish). Right now that system is flat
(is not holding any shares right now), so I don't have any shares
either. Matt emails when to buy and sell, as well as posting in the
trading blog, and you can always check the current status on the
SPY Pro System pages on the website link in the sidebar. Hope this
helps.

Hi, what do you mean by "I use the combined system triggers"
Next, how do you determine your stop loss on the XIV?
