Trendfinder Trading Systems

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.

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

Spring ES and Lion II Vol each had a long trade.

Three intraday systems had long trades today.

MeanSwing3 exited a long trade in the ES (S&P 500). The exit was a trailing stop.

This was one of the worst months for these trading systems. The first few days of the month were great. We had two systems long with nice open profits, and then Trump announced he was raising tariffs over the weekend. After that the unpredictability of the market made for very tough trading conditions.

Overall a poor week ending a very poor month.

Spring ES and Cheetah Vol had short trades today.

Cheetah Vol had a long trade this morning.
