Weekly Results – week ending 2/9/18

Posted February 9th, 2018 by Trendfinder and filed in Results - Weekly

It was a week for the record books. Volatility exploded higher on Monday – by far the largest ever one day move for the VIX. The S&P 500 went from an all time high to a 10% “correction” in the shortest amount of time ever. I know the losses can be overwhelming, but I invite you to hang tight and let the systems work. These systems have historically done well in volatile markets after the initial plunge causes losses. I foresee 2018 being a choppy market (which should bode well for swing trading), and volatile (which should bode well for daytrading). Of course, there is no guarantee that this will occur, but I am confident that disciplined systematic trading will fare better than emotional trading.

MeanSwing II and SentSwing II were stopped out of long trades. Many intraday systems had trades with mixed results.

Weekly Results – week ending 2/2/18

Posted February 2nd, 2018 by Trendfinder and filed in Results - Weekly

FedSwing RTY (Russell 2000) and all of the SentimentSwings exited profitable short trades this week. SentimentSwing ES (S&P 500) also had a losing long trade. Lion III Vol had several daytrades and ended the week with a loss.

This week, and especially today, had the largest selloff we have seen in a very long time. The likely triggers were rising interest rates, a more hawkish Fed and Greenspan saying stocks are in a bubble. And with the large run-up recently people are scared of losing their profits (also they’ve seen what has happened to crypto currencies and don’t want to have that happen to their equities). I could pontificate all day about what caused the selloff, will it fall more next week, will it rally next week, did the FBI memo have anything to do with it, did the FOMC balance sheet reduction cause this, etc., but I will instead keep working hard to create robust trading systems and trade them in a disciplined manner. And I will keep an eye on all that “stuff” to make sure the trading systems offered are a good fit for the current and foreseeable market environment.

Starting Monday, the new Portfolio compositions will go live. FedSwing, FedSwing II and SentimentSwing will no longer be offered and tracked here. SentSwing II and SimpleSwing will be added.

Weekly Results – week ending 1/26/18

Posted January 26th, 2018 by Trendfinder and filed in Results - Weekly

SentimentSwing exited a short trade. Lion III Vol had two short trades and ended with a profit for the week.

I am happy to announce that two new swing systems are ready to release (SentSwing II and SimpleSwing). SentSwing II holds long trades longer and uses a much improved short entry filter than SentimentSwing. SimpleSwing is a new swing system composed of two simple long strategies and one simple short strategy. These systems will replace FedSwing and SentimentSwing in the portfolios. I will send the new systems to brokers today, and as soon as they can get them up and running, clients can start using them. I will provide a blog post later today with more information included some performance reports.
