This ended up being the most actively traded month this year for Trendfinder’s systems. Two swing systems had a profit, one daytrading system was very active and ended about breakeven, and the rest of the systems that traded had a loss. MeanSwing II\u00a0had its first losing trade in 18 months. What really threw a wrench in the swing systems were the missile launches by North Korea. They spiked prices down (and volatility up)\u00a0for a very short time, triggered stops or exits\/reversals, then the market went back to its normal flow. Unfortunately that is a part of trading.<\/p>\n
In September, there could be heightened volatility due to 1) an FOMC meeting where they may announce the actual\u00a0start date<\/span>\u00a0of the balance sheet reduction (instead of just saying what they plan to do), 2) debt ceiling politics (Trump tweets anyone?), and\u00a03) any more posturing from North Korea (fire a missile that flies over Tokyo?). And, of course, something else could happen not mentioned here. Or, September could end up being a non-event, the VIX is back to single digits, and all of the stock market indices make new all time highs. If the latter happens then trading will be light.<\/p>\n This ended up being the most actively traded month this year for Trendfinder’s systems.
