Trendfinder Trading Systems

Losing week for all 5 systems.  Have an additional system starting officially on Monday…..be sure to check back!

It was a quiet and unprofitable week.

With the FOMC meeting this week there were only two trades….and both were small winners.

Next week could be very active.  If we keep getting larger intraday movements like yesterday (Thursday) it could be a very profitable week.

All 5 systems were profitable this week with Tiger being the big winner.

It was a losing week for 4 of the 5 daytrading systems.  Only Bobcat II ended the week profitably.

All 5 systems had profitable weeks.  Thursday was the big winner.  For results see below.

One thing I track is the average daily range – the difference between the high and low of the day.  The average range looks like it might have bottomed and is starting to increase (which it typically does after the summer and beginning of fall).  This is typically very good news for day-trading systems, and especially good news for trend-following day-trading systems like the ones below.  In my opinion the next 6-7 months will be very profitable.

This week, 1 system made money and 4 lost money (when commissions and slippage costs are included).

This was a fairly slow but profitable week.  3 systems had profits, 1 had no trades and only 1 system lost money this week.

This was a slow and unprofitable week.  Unfortunately this is pretty typical for August.

It was a losing week across the board.  There were many times I wanted to override (exit) a trade but didn’t because that would violate my rules of trading the system 100%.  I did get some ideas for improving these and new systems based on the market action this week.  I will post if/when those changes become fruitful!
