the Trend/Pullback is closing out for both SPY and MES futures.   

    obviously the KISS R2M for SPY and QQQ are holding

    that said I have a new sub system that I added, called 'bear long bull' it uses the logic of the bear long system (which only takes trades above the 200 day MA, however I had tested that same logic on a reverse - use the same logic but only allow trades above say the 100 day MA or 80 MA, and the stats are good that system is long so I may elect to hold some SPY still not decided yet, I'm in the middle of reopening stuff

    mean reversion systems - the Trend/Pullback

    mean reversion systems

    - the Trend/Pullback closed out on both SPY and MES futures (see left charts)

    - the KISS R2M longs are still active of course with hard stops at their STS (SPY stop is 646.24) and QQQ (stop is 580.59) but should move up soon

    - Bear Long Bull is still long on both SPY and MES futures -thus I'm going to go ahead and keep the current SPY and MES trades open as these other systems are open  Remember, I'm in the middle of changes to these systems (I just recently added the new 'Bull Bear Long' system and I'm in the middle of transitioning the ES systems to a custom close bar from the old daily versions.

    so quite simply going to stay in the current longs from the mean reversion trades since other systems are are still open and long

    anyway nice trades congrats if you are in these

    Matt - Is a bear long system being long an indication top is in and this is just a bounce on way to lower lows? 

    no this is the 'bear

    Posted by matt on 20th of Dec 2025 at 06:46 pm

    no this is the 'bear long bull' not bear long. Read the email.  The bear long trades can only occur below the 200 Ma and when the 200 MA slope as a negative slope to it.  The system that is long is the 'bear long bull' which is an odd name, sounds like a contradiction in terms LOL, but I named it that because I took the logic of the bear long system and flipped it i.e. instead of only producing trades below the 200 day MA, this system can only do trade above the 80 day MA.  There's a indicator I use for the bear long called DVO that has to be oversold, so I'm using that same indicator here.
