Trendfinder Trading Systems

Every intraday system went long today.  The Bobcats unfortunately barely got stopped out, but the rest profited nicely.

5 systems went short today.  1 profited, 2 were near breakeven and 2 lost.  The Jaguars went short twice (stopped out the first time).

Overall it was a losing week.  4 systems had gains and the rest had losses.

Trendfinder’s emini trading systems did not have any trades today.

Every intraday system went short at some point today.  The Bobcats were barely stopped out, and the rest ended with profits.

Many systems went short and had gains or very small losses.

Results below are now showing all portfolios including the revised Index Trader Portfolios.

MeanSwing II has been released.  It is the same strategy as MeanSwing with one alteration – an additional $5000 trailing stop has been added for better risk management control.  The existing volatility based trailing stop is still being used as well – the system will use whichever trailing stop is closer to price.

I revised the Index Trader Portfolios which combine the swing and intraday systems.  Each portfolio now has an equal number of swing and intraday systems in them.  I think these portfolios now provide a robust combination of systems to handle any market environment.  Click here to see the performance reports.  I also updated the portfolio lease pricing as well.

It was a very choppy day leading to whipsaw losses for the Jaguars.  Jaguar’s losses were near their worst possible for one day.  The Lions went short twice with each trade ending in a loss.

I was testing a conservative version of Jaguar this morning where it will enter a maximum of one trade a day.  I rejected it because of the reduction of profit without reducing drawdown.  However, watching today’s actions is making me reconsider.  If you have feedback on this please let me know.

I updated the website with performance results through yesterday August 15th.  Every Wildcat Portfolio (intraday systems) recently reached new equity highs.  This ends a very long and deep drawdown for the intraday portfolios.

I have revised the MeanSwing systems to include a fixed dollar money management trailing stop.  I am in the process of updating the website with the new performance reports.  I will provide a new blog post when the website is up to date.  As a teaser – I was very pleasantly surprised to see how well the new Index Trader Portfolios perform with the revised MeanSwing system and portfolio changes.

The intraday systems did not have any trades today.  The MeanSwing systems exited their final positions and are now flat.
