Nayan, clearly you didn't listen to the newsletters during the week of the downturn, since Matt & Steve were giving serious warnings about a downturn. I listened, went short, and had a hugely profitable week. (I had a few longs not work out, but who didn't?) If you are only referring to the SPY system, it doesn't get every move all the time. (I've traded a lot of automated systems, and they just don't work that way.) That being said, I totally get being frustrated. This market isn't easy to navigate.
