Matt is the best automated system developer I have met. He is very talented in this respect, and his potential is largely underutilized.

    Regarding the systems, I am of the opinion that his systems were developed and backtested for bull markets. During this bear market, a lot of settings no longer apply which result in missing trades or stuck trades. What seems to work in this bear market is quick trades with short duration. A variation of day trades that spans under one day or a day or two at most. Perhaps, a system based on 30- or 60-minute times would be optimal, and trading is done on micro futures to ensure entry and exit as needed. Also, micro futures contracts permit to dispense with the $25,000 requirement for day trading that limits many small account holders.

    Back in 2015, Matt devised an automated system based on 60-minute charts. The idea was good. Perhaps, it could be revised and reimplemented. I see it as rather viable. 

    thanks junkie, I appreciate the

    thanks junkie, I appreciate the kind words and also your ideas.

    yes I've started working more on short-term systems, I have some ideas there that we might be able to use eventually

    yes regarding system building I spend what 3% of my time doing that, and the rest on all this other stuff. Like I said last week, in an ideal world that's all I would do, is be in some very cool room with powerful computers where I build systems all day long, I'd love that as that's my passion. 

    and yes the market is now so short term based - such as these ODT options that expire the same day, that's now the largest volume in the options market, everyone short term gamblers now.
