Holding...cash

All systems are producing hold signals....keeping the JTS long, the CCI short, and the JT Comp in cash.  Thanks!

    2. Not bad, Alex. NFLX was extremely overbought and it's not a huge surprise it's down 8% today. The others are ripping in your direction. Keep it up.

    1. You mean a gap tomorrow? Only if it doesn't make it down there today...

  5. FYI: The half stop on the JTS has been nudged up to 142.95. Any dip below that value shifts JTS into unhealthy mode in which short signals should come more frequently, in theory.

  8. Interesting day, and a good one to be in cash.

    J, I was wondering what the ytd. results for the composite system would have been if you had used XIV instead of TNA.

    1. I don't have exact numbers, but from what I've looked at it would be closer to 75% than 50%.

    1. Thanks. So now your plan is to go long TNA on your expected gap down tomorrow?

  10. I just don't understand how one day of weakness causes systems to go long but continuous days of strength make systems stay long. I'm still short and have been for a while because of how deep of a hole I'm in. I hope the downtrend continues and hopefully J's system starts giving some short signals so I'm not alone.

    1. Jared, I would favor buying the dip right now for several reasons. 1) Strong liquidity via the Fed.
      2) The Bespoke election year seasonality favors a bottom this week and a melt up through the end of the year. It's tracked remarkably well all year.

      Of course, there are reasons to be bearish now as well. One of which is the fact the sentiment survey that my JTS tracks gave a sell signal (too many bulls) last week.

      Time will tell. We'll probably just chop until the election, which could be quite profitable if you buy the dips and sell the rips.
