EMATS

    This is a system I've used for years, that I call EMATS; today it say's sell 1/3 of your SPY holdings. I use this for IRA accounts.

    the 13 EMA closed below the 34 EMA giving that sell. Other than a short whipsaw at July 4th, it's keep me in this market since March.

    Why only 1/3. What triggers the rest? Thx

    The link works for me, be sure if you have a pop up blocker that it isn't stopping the chart. When 13 crosses below 34 I sell 1/3 , then when it crosses below 54 I sell another, then when 34 goes below 54 I sell the last third and go short 1/3 via the SH. It's just me, but I don't go more than 1/3 short in IRA's. You can go fully short if you want but I don't find it works that well.  I do this in thirds as to try and prevent whipsaws.
