    The bear long is flipping between triggering and not triggering, and given how the exchange adjusts that data at times, it's best to wait for the close and reopen where I can refresh the data

    Thanks for the update Matt. I bought just before your update and will use MES for SPY trade if MES trade ends up not triggering.

    from the SPY/ES systems section: For ETF Trades I do 10K for each entry with 1st entry as SPY, 2nd as SSO, and 3rd as UPRO, SH, SDS, and SPXU

    that's just what I show on the website as a guide. You should do whatever fits your risk tolerance and goals. That might mean taking 50K of SPY or 100K for some folks. Other folks may not trade the ETF's at all and ONLY trade ES or MES because of the clear tax advantages i.e. 60/40 rule. Others may choose to do options, or some combo. The important thing is the trade signal, you decide what instrument to do and what size relative to your account etc
