Curious as to why the HP KISS GDX 130Min system doesn't show an
exit on the open with a current STS of 44.07 and an opening price
of 43.86 and a subsequent low of 43.53? Of course I got stopped out
at the open based on setting the 44.07 stop. What am I missing?
because craigm - technical limitations, it doesn't happen
immediately, there's a delay for those to update like bar close or
something - one should not wait for that to update as orders are
already in place from previous alerts.
for a 130 min system, it comes 10 minutes plus after the 130 min
candle closes. the Flat alerts are informational only as one
should always have an STS stop in place since going Long and per
any subsequent alerts for adjusting the STS stops.
here's more info:
There are 3 types of KISS signals:
1) Daily
2) Weekly
3) High Performance HP KISS
a) Daily - signals are generated via e-mail at the end of the
day; if the instrument is in a trend, then no alert is issued;
alerts are only issued with buys or sells. Upon receiving a
Daily alert (to Go Long, Flat or change STS) one would act upon it
during the market Open on the following day.
b) Weekly - signals are generated weekly on Friday end of the
day; if the instrument is in a trend, then no alert is issued;
alerts are only issued with buys or sells. Upon receiving a
Weekly alert (to Go Long, Flat or change STS) one would act upon it
during the market Open on the following week.
c) High Performance - signals are sent via SMS alerts because
the signals come intraday. This is the most active set of
systems out of the systems we are discussing here, but the number
of alerts are still reasonable. Upon receiving an alert to Go
Long, one would act upon it immediately. So one would execute
an order to Buy and then put in the initial STS. For
subsequent alerts with STS changes, one would also act on them
immediately by modifying your existing order. The idea is to
always have an order in place to be ready to exit the trade if the
price hits the STS. For Flat alerts, these are informational
in nature, as one would already have had the STS in place
beforehand and one would exited already if the STS price was hit,
before receiving the Flat alert.

Ah, thanks Matt. So that alert should come shortly after the close of the 130 min bar. Appreciate the explanation
here's a lengthier explanation of how it works
