Wow, very impressive!
First time I read your post and went through all 35 pages. Keep up the good work. I'll read this thread daily.
Do you mind to tell me what is your average size on TNA/TZA.
My trades average (control) from 1,000 to 2,000 shares on TNA. Currently have open on TNA (short) with average entered at $59.36 and expect it to drop below $58 level by Friday (hope it follow Seasonality in the S&P 500 RED to the end of the month) .

Hi, SWAVET.

I do not trade TNA/TZA according to this model. I only post these trades to keep me committed to tracking these systems.
I do trade the Volatility Model. I may begin trading the other models in the future if I'm confident they'll be profitable.

I wish you the best on your trades.
