SPY system update

    Posted by matt on 1st of Nov 2018 at 04:20 pm

    On the SPY system, the QE sub system went short at the close. Which shows up as on the Combo system all strats on one chart

    Tradestation crashed on my the last 5 min of the day, just got it back up as I had to also reboot the computer, so is why I'm posting now

    Is the system now short?

    Is the system now short? I’m confused. 

    confusion? really with the SPY

    Posted by matt on 2nd of Nov 2018 at 09:46 am

    confusion? really with the SPY system?  sarcasm.  remember I had chosen to keep the system long because the RSI oversold and Trend sub systems are still long via those last two videos I sent out. 

    yes whole thing has been a confusing mess which is why I will be taking it offline to retool and simply it and won't bring it back online until it's in a simple non-ambiguous format.  I wanted to remove the system entirely from the website and just focus on our top notch analysis, newsletters, trade ideas.  However the overwhelming response was for me to keep the system but that it had become too confusing and ambiguous with the sub systems and combined system, not doing one and doing the other etc, which I wholeheartedly agree with.  I think it makes the most sense to take it offline until it is retooled and greatly simplified so that there is never any confusion again. 

    Remember I had kept the system long because the Trend and RSI sub systems are still long, which is what I discussed in those last 2 videos.  Which again was really the wrong thing to do, the whole thing has been a mess.  The combined system would be short at the moment.   However I will report what the current open sub systems are doing i.e. when the Trend and RSI oversold systems finally close out I will let you know.  I may also be sending out an email on this today or if not on the weekend. One option is to close the trade now.  If anyone was still in the trade they could do that or just hold with a stop or close out when the RSI and Trend systems finally exit, which I will report on

    Hi Matt,  I do not

    Hi Matt,  I do not find it confusing at all; your work is awesome on the systems!   You are pretty clear to me.  I say do not take down he systems.  Just work on your improvements in the background and launch when you are ready.  But please don't take down the current system.  Thanks

    Totally agree.  My vote as

    thanks, I wrote a  book for a sticky, take the time to read over that.  not something I hand planned to write yet and on a Friday in the middle of the day but not bad to get out, lets you know some ideas in my head working on

    That sounds like a system

    That sounds like a system I would be comfortable using.   I definitely agree that the short term pullback systems need to be taken out. They are just too risky   in the crazy computer driven selloffs that occur more frequently.  Can you tell us how the e-mini system has been working in this environment?

    Hi Matt, This is not

    Hi Matt, This is not confusing. You explained many times and it was very clear. I would still prefer you send us notification for the signal of each sub system. Thanks for your hard work as always.

    Matt, can u settup an

    Matt, can u settup an email alert for the system than.  I don't find it confusing and use it as a guide in my investment process. Don't take away the candy jar. 

    I've NEVER found it confusing.

    I've NEVER found it confusing. The only thing confusing is how anyone can find it confusing! Matt you have the patience of Job as you explain over and over again when it's sometimes obvious that some people just don't read.

    I agree!!  I am confused

    Posted by goap1207 on 2nd of Nov 2018 at 02:15 pm

    I agree!!  I am confused how anyone can find it confusing.  I put in the time on BPT and learned how to use the systems and made them my own.  Members that are confused have not taken the time or given it enough time to get familiar with the systems.  

    another option here since I

    Posted by matt on 2nd of Nov 2018 at 10:09 am

    another option here since I chose to bring all the sub systems into the mix, which added to the confusion is this:  

    Two sub systems are long, RSI Oversold and Trend, while a new sub system went short yesterday, QE SE system.  

    One simple example would be to assign a point value:  +1 for each long system and -1 for each short sub system. Because one system is now short, and two are still long, sell 1/2 the long, or hedge the long.  

    again the new version of the system will be clear and concise, but for now I'm offering options about what to do here and now

    Matt, as one of the other

    Matt,

    as one of the other poster said here, please dont take away the cookie jar. PLEASE KEEP THE SUB SYSTEMS GOING.

    Matt-  I appreciate all your

    Matt-  I appreciate all your and Steve's work over the years.  I have seen a few different versions of the system on this site.  I do use it as a guide and do not get confused.  One question, if you do take it down, how long do you expect it to be removed from the site before a new version is brought back?  Days or weeks?

    Would you consider setting up

    Would you consider setting up an email list for those of us that don’t find the system confusing to give trade notifications while you retool for the general community.
