Trendfinder Trading Systems

It was a very active and volatile day.  Every system went long this morning and exited with losses.  Jaguar and Leopard reversed, going short, and exited with small losses.  Then every system except Bobcat I & II went long again this afternoon and caught the big move up into the close, enabling some to end positive for the day.

It was a wildly volatile week (especially the last two days).  These systems held their own with every system having gains except Bobcat I & II.  Volatility will probably remain high next week as well so be prepared for larger than typical gains and losses.

Volatile and choppy day. Trendfinder’s emini day trading systems did not have any trades today.

Today is a day that will be logged into the history books (if you don’t know why I say that, look at today’s chart of any US stock index).  These systems took early profits on the big down day, and then the floor completely fell out.  For a while it looked like the systems should not have exited early, but prices ended up coming back up near the exits by the end of the day.  The spike down appears to be due to human and or system errors, regardless there was definitely panic in the market today.

Back to the systems…Bobcat I and Bobcat II were stopped out of their short trades on a pullback, but the rest of the systems all had very nice profits.

Today started low, went up and then came back down.  Every system that traded went short this afternoon, and Lion also went long this morning.  Just a see-saw day that left Jaguar and Leopard near break-even and losses for Lion, Lion II and Tiger.

Although today was profitable overall, the gains and losses were small.  After the big down move this morning, there was just not much follow through.

Every system except Cougar had a good month (Cougar was essentially flat).  The total net profit was $7850.  Volatility continually rose all month.  With higher volatility these systems thrive.  My guess is that May will be a nicely profitable month as well….of course we’ll have to wait and see.

There were not many trades this week due to the FOMC meeting.  However, every trade except one was a nice profitable winner.
