Re: Signal

I have been tied up all day and quite frankly, I wish I had been tied up until after 4pm.

Re: Signal

What are you doing after today's close? I'm pretty sure I'll get out tomorrow. I may go back in on Friday, but I'm pretty sure I'll be out tomorrow.I'll kick myself if we continue to go down and I stayed in.

Don't know yet. I have to calculate my signal later on. If it stays on a buy, I will stick with it. It is a great system in the long run. I have a post that gives the back tested returns on my thread somewhere if you care to look.

I lost 1.5% today but the system is still up 11.85% YTD. So I'm still happy.

I did buy some TNA at $60.85/share.

The VIX is 16.44, so there is no fear in the market yet. Consequently, if my signal stays on a buy, I am definitely staying.

FYI, you won't be able to go back in on Friday, as the markets and the TSP are closed for the Good Friday holiday.

Thought you'd want to know.

I hope it does. I've been loving how your system has kept you above the speed bumps this year. That can really help with the TSP IFT limitation. Will be interesting to see how it handles more volatile times. However, given the dips it's held through, I'd be nervous of being in if your system flips to sell.

I had forgotten about that. Decisions, decisions....

 

[jkenjohnson]

I forgot about Friday too. Anyway my system remains on a buy so I'm staying in.

Re: Signal

I'll probably die at my desk before I am able to retire. I just hope someone notices and calls the coroner.

Don't you wish you had gotten out of the markets when I wanted to? Now were all going to ride that train down to hell! :laugh::cheesy:

The trend is still up, believe it or not. Maybe we will recover soon. Buy, yeah, I should of got out when we hit an all time high, because I did not feel there were fundamentals to sustain it. Then again, I developed the system to take the emotional component out. I'm going to follow my system, come h-ll or high water.
