yeah - but again I don't even think it's necessary, the systems
are close bar system, I think they will close out just fine.
I threw it out there for nervous nellies.
I am taking 1 contract off only out of the 4, but I do
think it's kind of unnecessary
I get why you are doing it, but if people are wanting to follow
the system itself it complicates things. When the live trade
data is showing "system + Matt discretion" vs pure "system" trades,
what's the difference in performance?
do what you want, follow the systems and your plan. if you
choose to stick 100% to the system signals, then do that. I will
report when it closes - for now they are looking to close today as
long as price closes below the 19 day MA, which I think is a given
at this point

Actually it looks conceivable (though not likely) that the SPY
finishes above its 19 DMA (though I have the 21 on my chart and 19
would be a little tougher).
I will. I am trying to evaluate if it's better to follow
pure system or system + discretion. I'd assume that
your adjustments have been better over time, but when you say you
are doing it for the nervous nellies, it gives me pause.
