The Youtube video I made yesterday discusses everything, however
this URL starts the video from the spot where I do a playback on
the chart of XLE, starting from Sept of last year to present -
It's one thing to see a static chart of everything already
drawn in place, but it's another thing to watch it flesh out bar by
bar, new STS's added, hit, and re-entered - I suggest you play this
portion back. CLICK ON THE URL below to start at 606 seconds into
the video instead of from the beginning. Also as far as STS's being
hit, I discuss this in the video. One could wait for the close,
most of the time that will avoid an intra day whipsaw. Or as I do
sometimes, the DVT is hit and I stop out, but if the bar closes
back above it I just re enter back long again. whatever works,
that's where some of the art comes in
Thanks very much for expanding your STS product. It's really
groundbreaking and can be unusually helpful to day traders like me.
One request: Do you think it might be possible to issue EOD
alerts for those stocks and etfs that have new ones?

Amazing work, Matt! By the way, does the KISS STS system
generate a strategy performance report in TradeStation, i.e. is it
a strictly mechanical / rules-based system?
no - remember the KISS is not a 100% full system like the SPY
and ES reversion to mean systems, some discretion should be used,
such as if the instrument in a bull market or bear
market.
remember the KISS trend is long only, it's really designed to
keep you long indexes and stocks that are in bull trends. In bear
markets it can work as well but it's prone to going long for 1 or 2
months then getting out, or getting a whipsaw. The SPX and QQQ are
in a bear market, so I don't expect amazing long trades there, the
July/Aug was good for example.
for stocks and indexes in bull markets like XLE, many
commodities they have done very well this year. VYM and large cap
have done well also
you can also think of the KISS tech as a methodology or tool
instead of a full system. The STS can give an idea for where a wide
swing trade could be placed. Again it's tool and we'll be able to
expand upon it over time
Hi Matt, can you pls do a video on how to do use the STS/DVT
system on all the etfs , stocks in dow, spx, etc. I am not
sure if you have decided if we are going into a bull market after
pullback this yr or next, or are we still in a bear market.
So is this KISS system supposed to get us long on the
stronger stocks in DOW, SPX stocks, via using the DVT?STS systems?
i am thinking if it will be helpful to try to get assigned on
good optional leap trades using options with this system, and if
assigned, writing covered calls to be called away at a higher
price. Any comments and feedback from you or Steve will be
most helpful.
BTW, can your customer support check to see if I was billed on
the 6 month renewal cos i got an email saying I was billed, even
though my current subscription is not over yet but coming
close. TIA
please for things like that send to support@breakpointtrades.com
and Sara will get back to you, I try not to spend time on that kind
of stuff, my focus needs to be on other things billing stuff. Also,
some folks accidently add 2 memberships by mistake, please email
support for stuff like that
