Ok, got it.  Thanks, Matt.

Matt  --  I assume the Bear Long and Strap ES trades triggered?

Assume no SPY trades, since we closed a little above the open?  Right?

Still working for me.

ES Trades confirmed?

Thanks for the clarification.  I certainly like the stats on Ver 2, so will opt for that.

Did the second entry occur?

Matt - Could you show the stats of your two versions of the Bear Long side-by-side?

Thanks for the link, arun.  Scary.....not only for China, but the world's economy.

Matt --  Good summary of the services at BPT.  The  analysis for the experienced trader (or those wanting to learn); and the Systems (SPY and KISS) for those less experienced or don't have the time to actually "trade the market".  Don't forget to emphasize the education aspect that you and Steve provide on nearly daily basis.  With the right marketing, you guys should be swamped with subscribers.  In any case, I am glad someone suggested I look at your site over ten years ago.

DigiNomad - Tom Bowley always states that the "Max Pain" level is the theoretical balance between in the money puts and calls; and, he never really expects that number to be hit.  It is mainly provided to give market direction for OpEx.

RSI overbought, extended from 9ema, etc.  .....it would seem like a SPY Sub-System could be triggering for a short.  Don't know if Matt or James is monitoring.

Big difference in "tax credits" (subsidy to reduce tax) and "tax deductions" (expenses incurred in producing a product for sale).

ah ha!!  A new definition has been created.  If a bear market is defined as a 20% drop from the highs, then the end of the bear market is now defined as a 20% rise from the lows.  WSJ logic............

Fredsaid, on IBKR type in MES, but after you hit the first return, look at the drop down list and choose "futures"; then, the next drop down list will give you a choice of futures contract expiration month.  (I go out at least a month, as if you wait until the day of expiration, it expires in the morning, not at the end of the trading day.)  Hope this helps.

The real question is:  Has Paul Pelosi loaded up on YANG?

Ok, thanks.  I tried refreshing, but finally got it going by "skipping ahead" a couple of minutes, then starting.  Again, probably all "operator error" on my part.  :)

Hey Matt,  I hope it is just me; but, I can't get your Youtube Video to boot up.  (Other Youtube videos, including yours, works fine.)  Someone also commented on YouTube, that there was no audio.

Since we are extended so far from the 9, as Fundementalvalues points out, I would normally wonder if there was a system trade.  However, I agree with srusso1, I just don't want to hold anything over the weekend, given the other issues described by fundemenetalvalues.  So..... I am not asking.  :)

Apple beat earnings by four cents.  Last quarter, they beat by nine cents, and the stock dropped 3.6% the next day.   Tomorrow??????
