Posted by James_Roe on 4th of Aug 2022 at 05:21 pm

The only remaining long entry is the Long Bear from July 13th, currently up 347 points, and we have one short with an initial entry today on the Hi Mid Low system.

The ES Hi Mid Low system has taken an initial short position at the close at 4151.75.

ES doesn't close until 5 EST so confirmation is still 47 minutes out, but unless there is a huge market move between now and then the short will be happening.

I'll talk to Matt about adding that the next time I talk to him, it's something we should be able to add, and should add to that section.

As Matt mentioned last night the Long Breakout Trade closed half of it's position for a profit, if you are still long on that trade you should consider lightening up.

And the ES Hi Mid Low is looking at taking a new short position at the close.

I'll update everyone around 5 pm EST to confirm that the trade is taking place.

ES Hi Mid Low Short Trade Update

Posted by James_Roe on 2nd of Aug 2022 at 05:04 pm

The ES Hi Mid Low Short trade has exited at the close, 4096.25, for a quick overnight profit.

They actually covered yesterday at the close, can see why Matt thought this system needed more work before being included in the basket.

ES Hi Mid Low Short Update

Posted by James_Roe on 2nd of Aug 2022 at 02:58 pm

The ES Hi Mid Low Short trade is very close to exiting, you can see here that small price changes are causing it to switch between holding or closing,

This will probably go to the wire, so I'll update everyone shortly after the close.

We have tens of thousands

SPY system open trade comments

We have tens of thousands of lines of code in Tradestation and while we do some conversion, recently I've been porting stuff to tradingview, there are some pratfalls that are not immediately obvious.

For instance I was porting our proprietary Sine wave indicator based on Hilbert's Sine Wave and tradestation uses degrees while tradingview uses radians for basic trig functions.

Not an insurmountable issue obviously, but one that requires rewriting a good chunk of the math.

We're slowly building a library of functions on tradingview and will probably start porting more stuff there, but you have issues with total execution time for strategies which is an issue with some of our more math intensive stuff like the Long Bear trade.

There's no perfect solution, but it does seem like cloud / web app stuff is the future, and obviously tradestation hasn't done much beyond cosmetic changes in two decades.

We've looked at this in the past, it's a feature I would like to add, it would require writing some new views so you could sort by popularity, and some database optimizing.

Not sure it's a priority in the next few months, but after we've addressed a few things we're working on it's something I'd like to come back to.

We can't even send the email manually through their website, we will update via email later this weekend when Aweber resumes functioning.

Audio has been fixed on

Audio has been fixed on the newsletter.

Yeah, I've already fixed a few things, performance should continue to improve over a day or two.

We are working on addressing

Posted by James_Roe on 22nd of Apr 2022 at 11:51 pm

We are working on addressing some server issues that are ongoing, please bear with us.

We have an issue with session management between wordpress our content management system, and amember, our membership platform.

As a result pages that have free views and paid views, like the trading community, log you out over time.

You can always hit a page that is membership only like:

https://breakpointtrades.com/spy_trades/

To force a refresh of your session intraday. If you do this before posting you shouldn't have an issue.

Ultimately this is something that's on our list of stuff to fix, but there are only so many hours in a day and a number of fires.

We'll bump up the priority though, sorry for the inconvenience.
