Buy SPXU? I am looking for

    Buy SPXU?

    I am looking for some help.  I know several chart experts recently started shorting the SPY.  I can't find anywhere in the KISS system where I can star SPXU.  This ticker seems like it could be a smart buy in the near term.  If you agree, do you have thoughts on an entry price and a stop price?  Thank you.

    buy SPXU now after this

    buy SPXU now after this selloff??  

    Could the market drop again tomorrow or a couple days? sure anything is possible but shorting now is NOT objective from a risk/reward standpoint. That's why some of the mean reversion systems are starting to scale in long now, not short.

    Time to buy SPXU was as a hedge earlier this week or after a downtrend and you but it after an oversold rally into resistance or supply

    please go back and read my post - I commented on SPXU and eventually adding some inverse ETF's to the KISS section, but I cannot do that at this time until some extra logic is added for targets. These  require price targets to work well.

    Anyway, as I stated earlier my thoughts  are that we have some sort of decent high in place for a while, we'll likely experience and oversold bounce soon near Christmas - but most likely will form a  lower high.  That Dow chart I showed, a backtest of that broken channel  would be an objective short.

    so I'd wait for a bounce, and then look for a trigger on an intra  day chart

    Thanks Matt.  I'm new to

    Thanks Matt.  I'm new to the site and still trying to get my bearings.  I guess it was a dumb question, but it seemed reasonable to think that the sell-off on the SPY could continue.   Timing is something I am trying to improve upon, hence why I became a member of your site.  You seem to have lots of great trade ideas in your newsletters as well, but similarly in those instances, I am struggling to take your insight and translate it into actionable trades.   

    Where is the  post where you "commented on SPXU and eventually adding some inverse ETF's to the KISS section"?

    ewalter - welcome aboard.  One quick comment, not wise to short below previous lows when deeply oversold.   Over time, you will learn by sticking around here and listening.  It takes years to become proficient. 

    Thank you, Steve.  I appreciate

    Thank you, Steve.  I appreciate the tip.  I certainly agree that learning comes with time and experience.  I have a lot of experience, but am far from a technical trading expert.  I am paying for this subscription in an effort to accelerate that process, and to help me get in and out of new positions profitably.  I think it is easy for the folks that have been around for a long time to think this site is intuitive and easy to use.  

    I have highlighted several things within the KISS tables to Rik that are not working correctly, like entry dates for items where there were no updates.  His response was "there is currently an issue with the HP KISS table ; when it says "Flat" there shouldn't be a System Entry date".  I also understand that the trade ideas used to have SMS alarms, but Rik said "yes, in the past we did have Alarms for the Trade Alerts where people would alerted to new trade triggers for the Trade Ideas.  currently that feature is broken as the company that provided the data is out of business and we are finding a replacement."  

    So your customer support is telling me that your KISS tables are not functioning correctly, and that I am on my own with your trade ideas as far as if I initiate a position, and if so, where to set a stop.  I am excited to get to work and learn from you all, but have found the user experience a little underwhelming and, based on Matt's earlier response, a bit condescending.

    SH (inverse to SPX with no leverage) is in the system fyi 

    I wouldn't use that as

    I wouldn't use that as it is, I'll remove it.  Again in order for the KISS system to work well with inverse ETF's, much tigher settings are required and profit targets. The KISS system is designed for longs.  As I said, I found I can use it for shorts, but I have to use very custom settings along with profit targets instead of only letting the trades be stopped out by the STS stops
