Trendfinder Trading Systems

All systems had moderate whipsaw losses today.

No follow through on the downside today led to two small losses.

Another small range day – no follow through one direction or the other led to 2 small wins and 1 loss for Trendfinder systems.

Trendfinder had no trade signals today or last Friday.  The smaller daily ranges continue.  Hopefully we start getting larger range days but the quieter markets may last all summer.

Trendfinder was 5 for 5 today trading the emini Russell 2000 index future.  It was another small range day so the profits were moderate.

An even smaller range today led to small losses for Trendfinder systems.

Small range day led to moderate losses across the board today with Trendfinder’s trading systems.  Trend following strategies do not typically perform well on choppy smaller range days.

Today’s choppy up and down movement caused whipsaw losses in many Trendfinder systems today.  Days like today are not good for trend following systems.  I am testing methods of filtering out days like this for my trend following strategies.

All 5 Trendfinder systems entered trades today and all 5 had profitable days!

The market was up so much in early trading that only 2 Trendfinder systems entered trades today, and they were both winners.
