Trendfinder Trading Systems

This week the trading systems gave back some of the gains from last week.

The last few days market action has quieted down. Participants are probably waiting for results of the FOMC meeting next week.

FedSwingWF exited a short trade in every market it trades – one for a profit and two for a loss.

Lion II Vol and Tiger Vol each had a long trade.

Lion II Vol had a short trade today.

I’m excited to let you know that Bandwagon ES has been released. During periods where large intraday moves are more likely, it will look to “jump on the bandwagon” when the market is heading up or down convincingly. For determining what days to trade (where large moves are more likely), it uses different filters than all of the other intraday systems, providing better diversification. Most trades are entered within the first hour after the stock market opens, and it looks to hold all day. There is a stop loss, a trailing type of stop and end of day exit. It is a very straightforward system, and it performed exceptionally well on out of sample data. It was profitable every year including 2019 YTD.

The website has been updated ( http://trendfindertrading.com/bandwagonES.html). Bandwagon ES is included in all of the Index Trader Portfolios. It replaces Spring ES in Index Trader I and II, and it replaces Leopard Vol in Index Trader III, IV and V. All available hypothetical performance info through yesterday is below. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Full report: Bandwagon ES

Lion II Vol had a long trade today.

Spring ES had a long trade. MeanSwing3 EMD was stopped out of a short trade.

Several systems had a profitable week.

SimpleSwing2 exited long trades in the ES (S&P 500) and YM (Dow) for nice profits.

I’m excited to let you know that I will be releasing a new day trading system next week. It is called Bandwagon ES. During periods where large intraday moves are more likely, it will look to “jump on the bandwagon” when the market is heading up or down convincingly. Most trades are entered within the first hour after the stock market opens, and it looks to hold all day. There is a stop loss, a trailing type of stop and end of day exit. It is a very straightforward system, and it performed exceptionally well on out of sample data. It has been profitable every year including 2019 YTD.

I will update the website next week, and it will be included in the Index Trader Portfolios (likely replacing Leopard Vol). For now, the summary and equity curve are below. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.
