Monthly Results – November 2018

Posted November 30th, 2018 by Trendfinder and filed in Results - Monthly

The daytrading systems had a very profitable month, and the swing systems had mixed results.

The market seems like it is getting squeezed between the Fed reducing liquidity yet possibly slowing rate increases, and economic growth slowing with tariff uncertainty yet stock prices wanting to rebound. We shall see if the market picks a direction after the G20 summit this weekend.

Monthly Results – October 2018

Posted October 31st, 2018 by Trendfinder and filed in Results - Monthly

This was a month for the record books. We had a pretty large and fast market drop but didn’t have as much of a volatility spike in the VIX as previous selloffs. Also, media coverage wasn’t nearly as high as previous selloffs. Maybe this due to all of the political theater, but it also may be representative of complacency. It doesn’t seem to me that this is another dip like the ones we’ve had in the bullish move up since 2009. The market is not acting the same as it has in the past. Of course, this is always true to an extent, but my personal opinion is that this time it’s different.

This month the swing systems had large losses and the intraday systems had big gains. Since February, I have shifted my trading system development to intraday trading systems and option trading. I have released 2 intraday systems this year and hope to have more before the end of the year. I have already closed the Index Swing portfolios, and going forward I may even discontinue more of the swing systems. In addition to the stock indexes, I am working on systems for other futures as well. Going forward, I am looking to keep overnight risk down and get more diversification from other markets.

Monthly Results – September 2018

Posted September 28th, 2018 by Trendfinder and filed in Results - Monthly

September was a pretty quiet and mostly profitable month. It’s pretty remarkable how quiet the overall stock market has been. Historically, September has been the most volatile month of the year. One of these days volatile will increase again.

Monthly Results – June 2018

Posted June 29th, 2018 by Trendfinder and filed in Results - Monthly

Swing trading results were mixed, and the day trading systems had nice profits. Seeing the way these strategies are performing following the market drop in early February, it might be time to bring back the day trading system portfolios.

At the end of May I said I would be releasing a new day trading system in June. Where did the time go? This new system is finished, and I will likely release it in July. I have this one and some others that I am watching live that look good. They are all developed with walk forward analysis which reduces the chances of over fitting and allows the system to adapt to future market conditions. At the end of this blog post you will find performance info for one of these new systems which trades the ES (S&p 500). Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Monthly Results – February 2018

Posted February 28th, 2018 by Trendfinder and filed in Results - Monthly

The swing systems had some big losses, and the intraday systems had nice profits.

I don’t know what it is about February, but this is the 4th year in a row with losses overall for these systems. In case you are wondering, every March for the last 5 years has been profitable (and almost every April).
