The @ES has been open for about a 1/2 hour. Since I think
the idea is for us to make a trade when you let us know what
triggered, can you give us some idea as to when you will
communicate this to us? Right now, the price is better
(lower) than the closing; but, things could change, and since the
entry isn't tied to tomorrow morning's open (or some such firm
point in time), we need to know when to "check in" to get the "go
ahead", and at what price.

Sorry miss communication between Matt and I, thought he would be
back by now.
One of the Bear Long systems has taken a second entry at
3969.50, it's the less profitable version though, and we're only
tracking one of the two.
If you think it's going to go higher here you could take a
full second entry, or if you thought there was still downside you
could either wait for the other system, or take a half entry here.
I've attached stats from both versions to help you
decide.
Thanks for the information, James. I appreciate the
transparency of the multiple versions; although most of us would
probably prefer a mechanical system that either said to buy or
don't. In any case, I will take a half position (of a second
entry), not knowing any better.
Thanks, James. Time to go have dinner, and get away from
the computer. I have set a limit order for the other half of
the trade at 3955 (the trigger for the more profitable Bear Long
System). Hopefully, March brings a rally so that we can close
out all of the System trades and we can start again with more
definitive signals.

All aboard the 3955 express ! Um where should the
stop loss be ? Helpful post James. I'm a little
concerned about the weather in NY for the next couple days... rainy
days are rarely good for the market and the next full moon isn't
till next Tuesday... oof...if that plays out, get ready for 3rd
entries, and if so, I expect will BEAR fruit.
that Trend/Pullback will be triggering
Systems Trend/Pullback may trigger today

that Trend/Pullback will be triggering on SPY, probably for ES as well but that will be confirmed later.
ES has sold off so
Posted by James_Roe on 28th of Feb 2023 at 04:33 pm
ES has sold off so much now that the Trend/Pullback trade is no longer triggering, but we are seeing an additional entry for Long Bear.

After talking to matt we're going to wait for @ES to reopen before issuing a trade, these after market sell offs tend to close weird on TS.

"I will take a half position (of a second entry)"
That's probably what I would do to, but want to leave the actual decision up to Matt, who is I think home and should be weighing in shortly.
Thanks, James. Time to go
