guys inverse ETF's make no sense for the KISS systems. The KISS systems are designed to be long only.  When the systems are in cash does not mean it's a good short.  uptrends and topping is a process and far different behavior than downtrends/corrections. Uptrends tend to last for months and months, drift higher etc.  Whereas corrections tend to be violent, and over a faster time frame, and the emotion of fear manifests itself differently on selloffs than greed (uptrends).  When developing the KISS systems, for shorts I would have to use completely different logic and rules than I use for the long only. I've commented on this dozens and dozens of times. Most likely the conditions would have to be MUCH tigher for shorts giving them less room (because of the fact that corrections to to be over much more quickly vs going on for long periods of time.

I've commented that the KISS systems is profitable for most indexes and stocks with profit factors of 3, 4, 5, etc. But what isn't the system profitable on?  inverse ETF's!  And this makes sense given that the systems are not designed to manage shorts. Yes the inverse ETF moves up like a long when the market goes down, but it does NOT behave like a long in an uptrend. The inverse ETF's on the KISS systems have profit factors below 1, such as 0.5, 0.3 etc, completely not profitable, and is why I removed them. They should have never been on the list anyway (they came by default with the ETF's

For something like QID - it's like the market, it really needs to hold Thursday's lows, so is an area to consider as a stop (your choice as I'm not an advisor and can't offer advice, just information for you to act on.  As far as the market make sure to listen to my newsletter when I put it out. Also side note the KISS system has it's stop where that higher is, which matches the important area anyway that I just discussed
