Trendfinder Trading Systems

The month started of profitably.  2 wins and 1 tiny loss.

This was not a good month for these systems.  Only one system was profitable for the month.  September should be better, and October and November could be very good.

Anemic last day of the month.  3 systems traded short and exited after the market rebounded, then 1 system (Lion) went long to make up for the losing trade and ended the day flat after commissions and slippage.

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

Only 2 strategies had signals today – one small winner and one small loser.

Winning day today.  4 systems had profits and 1 had a tiny loss.  The losing streak for Bobcat I and II ended today.  I was getting tired of posting losers, but I will always post the good, bad and ugly…and with realistic trading costs included (commission and slippage).

Well, it’s no fun to have another losing day, but it happens.  Today was a very narrow choppy day that had no direction to it.  All systems went short this morning and had nice profits till the market turned around and tried to move higher…which failed as well.  I’m looking forward to this market having intraday direction again!

Today had a very small range with choppy, consolidating price action.  Typical of August and not good for trend-following systems.  The lack of follow-through in either direction led to small losses across the board.

I have some new systems that will be coming out next month that are doing much better than those below in this low volatility environment.  But, when volatility returns to the markets the systems below should do very well in my opinion.

Trendfinder’s systems had no trades today.

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