Thanks, Matt.  Since I've never traded after hours, I was ignorant about my ignorance about how to execute these trades,  but now I'm set for the next call and realize it may take a bit of time before this goes smoothly for me.

Thanks, Steve and all the others who responded to my concern about being not able to trade after hours. I did call my broker and learned that I CAN do that.  However, it seems it's too late for today since prices have dropped quite a bit.  UGHH

I just received your email for the systems trade, 1 minute before the close. I don't have an options account and can't seem to trade after hours.  It's possible that I'm not understanding how to do these trades after hours, but when I try, I'm blocked from doing it for the reason I stated. This doesn't give me enough time to trade the SPY while following your systems' trades.  This happened yesterday too, but I was able to take a trade at the open since the price was close to the closing price. I subscribed to your service primarily for the systems trades and expected to have the trade notice at least 5-10 minutes before the close. 

At the moment, it looks like that would have been a good entry which I may not be able to get in the a.m.

HYG and VIX are not confirming this uptrend. Is this a concern?

Since you've been calling this a bear market for quite a while, I'm wondering why most trades haven't been short.

I took that trade and didn't see your post or email negating it until after 4 pm. Do you have a suggestion on how to manage that trade now? Just sell tomorrow?

Thanks again. I'll do my homework this time.

I realize that I need to read more about what you've written about these systems.  It wasn't clear to me that only a few systems would apply under these market conditions. What isn't yet clear to me is the approximate risk level for each and which is likely to be held for the shortest duration. I don't know whether to jump on each trade or try to be selective. Thanks for taking the time to clarify this. I didn't want you to feel obligated to do that during market hours and appreciate your efforts.

I realize that now, however, I'm beyond overwhelmed by 24 different system possibilities, how they differ, or which best suits my needs. I don't remember which trades I took, so I'll just exit with your first exit call and try to get a better handle on how to do this next time. 

I'm confused too. I remember your comment that for those who don't trade the ES, we can use the SPY instead. I'm struggling to understand the different systems.  Maybe you can comment about it during one of your nightly updates.
