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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
Speaking of SPY, I see
Well obviously nice trade from that ES Stoch short on Friday

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
