Well obviously nice trade from that ES Stoch short on Friday

    Posted by matt on 5th of Dec 2022 at 10:00 am

    I don't have stats in the SPY section for the ES stuff yet, so here you go. Average historical time in trade was 13 days

    Speaking of SPY, I see

    Speaking of SPY, I see there's an ES live trade.  Don't see the SH trade listed in the live SPY trade table.  Just want to confirm there's a live SH trade in effect as well - thanks.

    mrbass77- again to keep it

    Posted by matt on 5th of Dec 2022 at 10:30 am

    mrbass77- again to keep it simple, I report the ES trades as MES futures, not as ETF's - you guys who don't trade futures will be taking the ETF's instead and track your entry prices on your own.  The ES/MES bar closes at 5 pm, one hr after the cash markets -therefore any ES systems trades where one simply buys one of the SPY related ETF's in place of futures, all have to be bought in after hrs, which means the entry price I show is not as simple as just a close. It's just cleaner and easier for me to just post the ES trades as ES or MES. 

    but you guys - again you can simply substitute one of the SPY related ETF's in place of futures. I don't show ETF' trades for the ES trades so I don't show an open SH trade, I show MES. 

    again I think those following the systems should trade both the SPY and ES signals because of the averaging affect and you get more trade opportunities. Folks who don't trade the ES systems signals because they don't trade futures, I think miss out on a lot of this effect

    Wasn't a SPY-side trade but

    Posted by 24kau on 5th of Dec 2022 at 10:19 am

    Wasn't a SPY-side trade but only ES (listed on that table); Matt always gives option of using SH if we choose to trade on the "SPY" side, but it's not a SPY-side trade.

    one thing I can work

    Posted by matt on 5th of Dec 2022 at 11:19 am

    one thing I can work on is adding the ES system stats. I'm going to try and update all the stats this week and place them in that Google spreadsheet for now

    Was there an official trade?

    Was there an official trade?  I didn’t receive an email on Friday.  Thanks. 

    was posted here on Friday,

    Posted by matt on 5th of Dec 2022 at 12:01 pm

    was posted here on Friday, and you can find it in SPY systems section.

    Also - the trade notification email was sent to you, here's copy of the report of your account. We use Awebber to send all website emails, which also keeps a history of what was sent, what didn't make it, and what bounced back.

    you can see on on Friday the email was sent to you but you didn't open it, as you said you didn't see it, but was sent to you

    guys - emails from us come from : support@breakpointtrades.com

    email services these days, including Gmail  are aggressive about flagging emails as spam or promotions and filtering them into a folder that you might not see. 

    I suggest that EVERYONE whitelist or make support@breakpointtrades.com a trusted email so that you don't miss stuff

    bpozdoll1717 - I'm not signaling you out, I'm using my reply to you as a reminder for the group. We can see when you guys open emails, when they are sent, if they made it to you, or if they were blocked. Gmail for example will at times send our emails to the promotions folder - which if you are only viewing the default primary view, you would not see our emails - create a filter that emails for support@breakpointrades.com go to your primary inbox

    The late email made it

    Posted by claire on 5th of Dec 2022 at 12:18 pm

    The late email made it not possible for me to take the trade Friday. I checked for an email until about 4:20 , after which I would be tied up at work til well past 7 pm.  The email arrived close to 5 pm, but I saw it when I could no longer enter the trade.

    Thanks Matt.  For some reason

    Posted by bpozdoll1717 on 5th of Dec 2022 at 12:07 pm

    Thanks Matt.  For some reason I have every other email but not that one.  Even received the updates today.   Do you still do the text alerts?   I don’t think I’ve received those in a while.  Should I reach out to you separately?  

    I didn't get the trade

    Posted by fredsaid on 5th of Dec 2022 at 12:43 pm

    I didn't get the trade notification email on Friday either, same - got all the other ones and not in my spam.  Would love to know how to sign up for text alerts as well.

    awebber also confirmed an email

    Posted by matt on 5th of Dec 2022 at 12:49 pm

    awebber also confirmed an email was sent to you. Again enough discussion on this. If you want to bring me onto your computer so that I can go into your email and find it for you I can - this is the problem with emails - these days they are not that reliable because of all the aggressive spam filtering etc

    create a folder in your email account to force all emails from support@breakpointtrades.com to go to your primary inbox

    text alerts will be free for everyone after the price increase 

    10-4.   Watching for when

    Posted by fredsaid on 5th of Dec 2022 at 12:56 pm

    10-4.   Watching for when exit condition is met now.

    Posted by matt on 5th of Dec 2022 at 12:06 pm

    again the trades are listed in the SPY and ES systems sections

    THANK YOU, MATT AND STEVE

    THANK YOU, MATT AND STEVE FOR ALL YOU DO

    yes guys  - I'd say

    Posted by matt on 5th of Dec 2022 at 10:22 am

    yes guys  - I'd say the majority of people don't trade futures - no big deal, simply substitute one of the SPY related ETF's in place of futures

    SPY,SH, SDS, SSO, SPXU, UPRO - these trade until 8 pm in after hrs, and in places like IB begin trading I think at 3 or 4 am
