Daily Results for 5/5/11
It was a pretty wild day. Bobcat I and Lion snagged big profits going long this morning. Jaguar and Jaguar Alt first went long then reversed short and made up some of the losses on the long trades. The rest that traded went short this afternoon and made some gains.
Announcement: I have revised pricing to give a discount for trading multiple systems and retired Panther. See this post for more info. I have also released MeanSwing – I have already updated the website and will be adding a blog post as well.

Revised Pricing for multiple systems and Panther retired
I have revised the pricing for multiple systems/portfolios to provide a discount for leasing multiple systems. I did this to reduce the impact of lease fees on your overall performance. The discounts for 3 month and 6 month subscriptions also apply providing additional lowering of fees.
To see the new pricing click here. If you want to switch to the new pricing, please subscribe and I will cancel and refund your current subscription. As always, once you subscribe you have that price for life.
When you go to the website, you will see some additional systems and portfolios. I have released new swing systems and portfolios. I am creating another blog post to give you even more information than is on the website, but feel free to check them out now. I think you will really like the portfolios that combine the swing and intraday systems (I do)!
I have retired Panther. This is due to its vast underperformance. I will review it periodically to see if it recovers, but I think it is prudent to remove it.

Bobcat I went short this morning and was stopped out on the reversal up. Many systems then went long and exited with a loss.
