    Matt, just so i get my exits right... SPY trade from Monday might close today and the 1st entry on the 21st and second entry on the 23rd will stay long?  Thanks

    I didn't say SPY, that was ES bear long, not SPY bear long

    I'm confused too. I remember your comment that for those who don't trade the ES, we can use the SPY instead. I'm struggling to understand the different systems.  Maybe you can comment about it during one of your nightly updates.

    Claire these systems are purely mechanical and proprietary. I wouldnt try to understand the different systems... That's just my opinion.

    I realize that I need to read more about what you've written about these systems.  It wasn't clear to me that only a few systems would apply under these market conditions. What isn't yet clear to me is the approximate risk level for each and which is likely to be held for the shortest duration. I don't know whether to jump on each trade or try to be selective. Thanks for taking the time to clarify this. I didn't want you to feel obligated to do that during market hours and appreciate your efforts.

    not everything is covered and that section needs to be totally redone (which will be but we've focused on providing trades vs making everything pretty for marketing)  but read the long description page there for an overview and understanding

    you don't need to understand

    Posted by matt on 28th of Sep 2022 at 02:26 pm

    you don't need to understand the systems. All you guys have to do is decide how much capital you decide to allocate to the systems if you are going to trade them - best if you can put that money in a separate account.  The systems are very mathematical and methodical, unlike most people who are emotional and undisciplined. They are easy to follow as I send out trade entries and exits. And again in these market conditions, only a few systems could ever be in the market - the majority of the systems couldn't enter trades under these conditions because many only trade in bull markets or uptrending markets- most cannot trigger. 

    Also your comment about not knowing what trades you entered? that's not our fault - you have to keep track of your own trades

    also you can figure that out easily - go and look at the dates you entered those trades - then refer to the trade table, you should be able to match them up! here's the trade table with dates entered

    Yes, you can CHOOSE to

    Yes, you can CHOOSE to use SPY for an ES trade, but if so, that doesn't make it a SPY trade, so selling it would have to wait for an ES sell.  So you would have to keep track yourself of which ES trades used SPY instead and which SPY trades used SPY.

    I realize that now, however,

    Posted by claire on 28th of Sep 2022 at 01:03 pm

    I realize that now, however, I'm beyond overwhelmed by 24 different system possibilities, how they differ, or which best suits my needs. I don't remember which trades I took, so I'll just exit with your first exit call and try to get a better handle on how to do this next time. 

    Jeez, I wrote that to

    Posted by matt on 28th of Sep 2022 at 02:11 pm

    Jeez, I wrote that to give some good general info on the systems not confuse people

    There's not 24 systems here: one is the KISS, one is the breakout, those will not be doing trades. Also a good handful only do trades in bull markets and cannot do trades under these market conditions - probably only about 2 - 3 systems could do a trade under current market conditions. Not 24 of them.  One doesn't have to understand all the systems - you can simply follow the exact trade signals I send out for entries and exits

    Also - treat each system like its own. There's no reason for you to be confused - I state which system enters and which system exits - why not just follow the exact trade signals I email out

    open trades: SPY: Bear long 2

    Posted by matt on 28th of Sep 2022 at 12:39 pm

    open trades:

    SPY: Bear long 2 entries, QE 3.2 1 entry
    ES: Bear long 2 entries, Bear Exhaust 1 entry

    part of the risk mitigation of trading the 22 systems is that they enter and exit at different places, and different exits and entries help to offset trades that were too early, or ones that exit to early with ones that hold longer etc
