    well, they are not huge

    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

    Strange.. still didn’t see it

    Strange.. still didn’t see it yet over here. Maybe my internet pipes are clogged?

    Great move today for the system trades… thanks Matt! 

    guys - all our emails

    Posted by matt on 18th of Jan 2023 at 12:41 pm

    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*

    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

    Posted by matt on 18th of Jan 2023 at 12:59 pm

    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
