    Did SPX get the whipsaw

    Posted by shecar on 29th of May 2019 at 11:00 pm

    Did SPX get the whipsaw confirmation today as discussed in this?

    yes they would have on

    Posted by matt on 30th of May 2019 at 09:30 am

    yes they would have on 60 Stoch and BPT BR Squeeze indicators.  Now the question is does price no go down very far and simply reverse back up later on or price go a lot lower. But yes they confirmed. However one rule I'm exploring: notice how the ATR went negative back on 5/13 and stayed negative no even budging during that bounce on the previous couple weeks. Generally my observation is that when this indicator crosses zero, generally it will start reversing back quickly if it's gonna be a whipsaw, but if it just stays below zero a long time, generally it's gonna confirm and one could use that to perhaps exit earlier

    Thank you.  I dont believe

    Thank you.  I dont believe the ATR is on the chart you showed.  When you have a chance could you clarify please?

    today I may not post

    today I may not post too much, i'm gonna be focusing on that Grail System (Trend and reversion to mean combination SPX/SPY system).  

    regarding the swing type system

    Posted by matt on 20th of May 2019 at 12:12 pm

    regarding the swing type system I discussed in the video.  I have more details worked out and one thing I want to do is go back and fill in trade data, probably start from early 2009, and I'll add the trades to a spreadsheet with stops, re-entries etc, and actually see how well that would do compared to just holding the SPX that whole time.  My thoughts are that it will blow it out of the water many fold.  And honestly if the results are that superior I may just do away with the weekly and monthly SPX stuff as those are so slow to respond to big moves anyway.  

    Basic rules I'll be using and indicators:  

    Indicators:  ATR Trailing Stop, BPT MA Deluxe MA 34 length with the whipsaw turned off, using slope change to set higher low stops, 4 MA ribbon, 60 Stochastic, BPT BR Squeeze.

    My concept will be as follows:  go long with a confirmed 60 Stochastic buy signal or BPT BR Squeeze or MA Ribbon, set immediate stop at last higher low and subsequently move up.  I will go long 50% the SSO ETF (2X) which doesn't degrade over time. I will then save the other 50% cash position to go long 25% on ES or SPY high probability sub systems for a total of 50% ( I won't be using the less probable Trend sub systems but rather systems like QE BTS, CCI oversold, RSI oversold, Bear Long, Bull Exhaust, etc.  

    Anyway I don't have anything automated or coded into a TS system that automatically gives signals, I have to manually pick these from the SPX chart, that will take quite a while, I will share when i have it complete.

    also I'll be out of town Tue and Wed and be back Thursday

    Matt, really like this system.

    Matt, really like this system.  I have set it up in my own TS account but don't have the BPT ATR Trailing stop.   Is that something you are sharing?  If so, I would like to appreciate getting a copy. Thank you.

    yeah I'll share workspace of

    Posted by matt on 20th of May 2019 at 12:36 pm

    yeah I'll share workspace of indicators in a while.  anyway a bit swamped today, still major issues with my mom, so will be running over there soon for a bit

    No rush, hope your mom

    Hi Matt,  Great video.  I look forward to using this to manage IRA and longer term SPY investing!  Thanks Paul

    thanks for this.  when talking

    Posted by shecar on 15th of May 2019 at 06:28 pm

    thanks for this.  when talking about putting trailing stops on based on the higher lows via the fast ma deluxe, it seemed like you were referencing placing them intraday, is that accurate or do you prefer stops based on the close?  

    The stops would be at

    Posted by matt on 15th of May 2019 at 07:16 pm

    The stops would be at the lows of the candles where the fast or non whipsaw confirming BPT MA was red.  The stops would only be confirmed once the higher low was established and the BPT MA back green to signal that.

    the stops would be INTRA DAY not close .  Basically a GTC stop that is active until we cancel it and replace it with the next higher stop or it's triggered.  Important because that stop protects you by locking your gains in even if it's one of those crazy 90 point down days like we saw last fall. For example that stop hit in on Oct 10th, would have triggered at 2860, if you had waited for the close on Oct 10th, the SPX closed at 2785, so waiting for the close would have sucked.  Again stops are GTC and intra day. 

    thank you for clarifying
