here's an image showing the SPY and ES systems on one workspace.
Like I said on Monday the ES breakout system went long, however the
SPY breakout version did not. Not sure why but is what it is.
again like I said below just another example of why I like
the idea of both systems because you get a lot of examples like
this. Also don't be annoyed that I didn't officially email
that ES breakout as a trade for the website. I did post it on
Monday and discussed in the newsletter BUT I don't have it setup on
the backed. I have nothing about the ES system in the SPY section,
I need to populate FAQ's, stuff like that. I told you guys I am
planning to incorporate the ES system but I'm just not ready yet.
However I've been posting them so you can see examples.
otherwise here's what I wrote this morning, which is another
point. The 1hr later close and option thing could be an
issue, so I have to decide on that
---------------
that said the only concern I have is that ES and SPY daily
charts have different closure times. SPY closes at 4 EST when
the cash market does, and ES closes at 5 pm EST 1 hr later. There's
no problem trading ETF's for that in after hrs but you can't buy
options that late. My initial thought is that if the ES order is
there by the 4 pm close to go ahead and send it anyway. Is
there a chance the trade conditions could go away during that 4 - 5
pm hr? Yes however because it's after hrs for the general cash
market moves are generally small and I think that most trade
signals that are meeting at 4 pm on ES will stay by the 5 pm close.
But is there a chance they could go away? Yes, and what do we do
then? close the trade the next morning on the options. Anyway
you can see there's a bit of complication there
While you are waiting to get the details and backend stuff done,
I appreciate that you are sharing when the ES system takes a trade
even if timing is not perfect. This last time, I was able to get in
on the trade the next day at a relatively similar price to the
close the day before. I am still in this trade and enjoying the
gains.
It is nice to get more frequent opportunities as the SPY system
seems to have more signals when there is a substantial pullback in
a reversion-to-mean type trade. (although I realize there is a SPY
breakout system too).
I do see the dilemma with the options trade placement and the
possibility that there could be a false signal given prior to 5pm.
Maybe members could have the understanding that this could happen
if they are placing options trades. If not and just using this for
ETF signals, at least there are that many more trading
opportunities.
