well, they are not huge profits - but I was confident that the
systems would get the opportunity to get out instead of getting
trapped in a further uptrend.
those short systems are very aggressive at getting out. They
miss bigger moves but they don't get into trouble. When I ran all
my backtests, with shorts I've discussed this before, everyone
thinks it is so easy to be short, but in fact shorts are the
hardest to perfect with the systems. Even in bear like
markets, you can easily get caught short in some rip your face off
rally or strong move that lasts 1 or 2 months - I had to make a lot
of these reversion to mean shorts act pretty aggressively to avoid
those. I'm more risk averse, vs trying to catch the trades with the
biggest moves. I have versions of the Hi Mid Low and QE short
that catch bigger trending moves, but they are also more prone to
to getting caught in some stronger bounce - to me it's easier for
the website to just hit singles with some of these short systems,
vs trying to hit home runs
guys - all our emails are from:
support@breakpointtrades.com
if you can, best to white label that email address in your email
settings, or set a filter to have those go to your primary inbox.
Email services like Gmail can sometimes send our emails to a
promotions folder and you will not see it since most of you only
view your primary inbox.
FYI I have checked *all* my email folders and have not received
this message. I've received other such emails in the past.
Incidentally, a response would be appreciated on my postings of
Dec. 13 and Jan. 12: It is not possible to receive SMS alerts for
SPY & ES systems without also receiving SMS alerts for trade
ideas, which are disruptive to me because I am not interested in
them at this time. On Dec. 13 James Roe replied that "We're pushing
an update to SMS here in a few days and that should be addressed."
Any estimate of when this will be done? Thanks!
messages like that best to send to our support email or a pm to
me, not here intra day where people are posting analysis and ideas,
this is Admin stuff. Also yes SMS will be adding to everyone
eventually
otherwise you received the email message and opened it as you
can see from the report
