Good Short-Intermediate/Swing Models SHOULD be "Cardiac Kids". Shows good design structure. So said Gerald Appel, designer of many classic Timing Models.
As of 5:15pm Stockcharts had a SPY close of 136.63. Price fixes are usually stable by that time.
I'm not sure my system is perfect enough to say, ok a close 2 cents higher would've produced a significant pullback. But there has to be a cut-off somewhere, there is no getting around that. It's just unfortunate it's been so close lately.
Don't worry though trader, it may take a few days but I think shorting here will be profitable.
As for CCI signals, I initially set it up where it wouldn't short in an uptrending market, but I've been testing new stuff and yes, it went short yesterday.
I'm going to make a post this weekend about about using a 100% position vs a 50% position and how it's been doing this year. Depending on results we may have a strategy change in March.
Here's a short preview: So far this month, using a 50% strategy, the system is up an impressive 17.06%! However, using a 100% position gives us a return of 29.09%. Yes it introduces more risk which will be discussed this weekend. :)
Probably gonna be another close one, RMI. :)
