Not to knock a system that is clearly working very well, but I’d
imagine it works better when markets are trending strongly like
they are now. We haven’t experienced a sideways chop recently. Good
systems get through the tough markets as I’m sure this will, but I
mention it because I’ve noticed that some of my own trend-following
systems that I’ve programmed on Tradestation have worked great the
last few years but haven’t faired as well in the past, whereas
mean-reversion systems like Matt’s SPY system significantly
outperformed. Not sure if you have backtest results for KISS via TS
(other than the manual stuff)— I imagine that its more difficult to
come up with.
I have accounts on three platforms and they all have their pros
and cons. IB has great rates (esp for futures and options on
futures) and easy execution of spreads and complex orders (once you
get to know the platform) but mobile app is terrible as is their
charting and risk analysis. TOS is pretty user friendly, love
their mobile app and charts, but futures commissions are high and
every time its really busy they just happen to go down (like
clockwork). Tradestation is fantastic for programming and
charts and is what matt uses for the systems but their trade
execution and mobile app are horrendous. Pus, you cant trade
futures options and stock options in the same account and platform.
Hope this helps.

Matt— No SPY exhaustion short trade
Posted by pep8261 on 30th of Aug 2020 at 09:10 pm
Matt—
No SPY exhaustion short trade anytime soon ? 22+ days above the 8ma and an overbought %R. Seems like it should be close to a short signal.
Thanks
Does anyone know if spy goes ex-div tomorrow?
