Great RALLY today !!!
2thumbs.gif


Futures are flat to up right now with volatility going down. All good signs for tomorrow. At the current rate, we should hit SPX-1400 on March 8th !!!
cheerleader.gif


MrJohnRoss(medium term trader) and J-Trader(short-term trader) have lost the faith, but most others are holding on. I suspect that the 10 Month M-SMA system will switch to a long position on March 1st, where it will join the party as the markets keep charging upward and onward.

Good Luck to All !!!

RMI,
Appreciate the OCD, continue to read it on a daily basis. Noticed the weights row has changed --- can you explain how the weighting process works? Cheers

Thanks, glad it is of use. Let me know if you can see a way to improve it, including other systems you know of that I may not have listed.

Um, PFM???

The weights are listed at the top. At this point, it was originally based on my opinion of the particular system, but I have adjusted them a few times since then. The most recent change was based on the system time frame. The shorter the time frame, the bigger the weight. My goal is to produce a signal that is capable of mechanically tracking multiple systems while getting a close the the ideal SPX trades. I don't know if I will ever get there, but I just started so lets see where this takes us.

Have a great night!!
 
And I'm acting like little Chatty Kathy - waiting for SPX of 1370 to kick up some hoof dust.
 
No chart post until Monday night... Sorry, but I have a final exam and a rough draft to my research proposal due this week-end...

Man I just love it when someone of my own era references a product only us mature ones will remember. Chatty baby - who was the father?:D
Sold seperately, of course.

Well, it's a day off for us, but not for the rest of the world.

Greece is getting their money and sunshine reigns the day. The market futures are up, down, up, down; which probably means they Greece deal is already baked into the markets.

Who knows what is going to happen, but it looks like the markets are giddy right now...

So, with the "system", cough, cough in a sell, all we can see is what happens next. Tomorrow, here we come... 1370? maybe, 1400 by the end of the month???
 
I'm sorry but I don't get it. What changed to cause a sell signal? Top 5, top 10 and seasonality?

Yes :D

But to clarify, when MrJohnRoss went to G a couple days ago, that pushed it real close to a sell...

Maybe more tweeks coming but the reality is that I can't do that until the market decides what it wants to do.
 
RMI, you're obviously very smart by coming up with this OCD chart. We enjoy watching it evolve. May I make a recommendation? I think it would be interesting to add percent gain (or percent loss) to each column where appropriate, rather than tracker position. Would that be possible for 7 sentinels, TSP Talk SS, etc? Don't know if that is a ton more work on your part, or just a quick addition. Since it's just a suggestion, take it or leave it. Either way, you're doing a great service to us all here. Thank you.

You mean for each "system"? Uh, why? I mean, those systems already track their progress. What benefit, for a long/short signal, would it be?
