Trendfinder Trading Systems

Every system had a profitable holiday shortened week.  Total net profits were $1600 per contract.  Happy Holidays!!!

Very slow week with the FOMC meeting and sideways action.  Very small losses for 5 systems.

This week had sideways choppy action which is exactly what trend following systems don’t want.  Trendfinder’s systems had a losing week and gave back most of the profits made last week.

Trendfinder’s systems had a tidy $3260 profit per contract this week.  Only Bobcat II didn’t have profits since it only had one near break-even trade.

This week also saw an increase in volatility as the bears try to end this bullishness.  If the market starts heading down next week we should see good volatility and good profits for these systems.

This week saw choppy action with no bullish trends that sometimes accompany holiday shortened weeks.  All systems had a losing week.

Trendfinder’s systems had the first losing week since the week ending 10/16/09, which snaps a 4 week winning streak.  Interestingly, that last losing week was also options expiration week.  Trading during options expiration week is something I am going to research – it may be prudent to skip trading those weeks or adjust the system methodology….or leave alone – September and August option expiration week were profitable….I will research it.

Bobcat II and Cougar wisely did not take any trades this week.

There were few trades this week.  4 systems had tiny losses and 2 had small wins.  The total was a net profit of $60.  Not much but better than losing money for the week!

It was a slow trading week due to the FOMC meeting, however it was a profitable week ($1960 per contract).  Next week should be much more active.

Volatility returned this week and gave Trendfinder’s systems an opportunity to profit nicely ($5470 per contract).  Cougar was the only system that didn’t have nice returns this week.

This was a nicely profitable week.  4 systems had nice gains and 2 systems had small losses.  It’s ironic that Lion had the only losses this week since it has been the strongest system over the past few years.

Volatility returned to the market this week.  If that continues the profits from Trendfinder’s systems will most likely continue as well!
