JT Comp moves to cash.

Wow, what a nice way to start the new year, with a huge winner!  The JTS will remain long today, but the CCI will spoil the fun and go short.  The opposing signals moves the JT Composite system to a 100% cash position.  Personally, I would side with the JTS and expect a little more upside the next few days. But on the other hand, it's hard to imagine it being worth the risk at this point after such a nice gain. Thus, I would be moving to all cash if I were trading this.  I suspect today's big gap will partially (if not completely) get filled over the next few weeks.  Thanks and congrats to all followers.

  1. And thank you, J. It was a good day, and I look forward to lots of others (and, naturally, I'm prepared for some bad ones).

  3. J, man, you picked the wrong time to sit out your system. That was the best 2-day move I've seen in a (very) long time.

    I'm out most my longs... dumped the last bits at the close and into A/H as they pushed into my last target 13320 YM. It's early, but I'll start playing shorts now, but keeping it light.

    I agree w/you, though, that this 2-day rally will be erased completely... but it will take more than the usual 2 weeks,... I bet.

    1. Liquidity is strong all Jan according to Rob. Looks like another month where buying the dips may work better than shorting the rips.

      Agree w/ u now that 2 weeks is too quick. I'll give myself some more leeway and go within the next 3 months. :-D

  4. The only "traditionally sucky" months are August and December... though early Sept can be pretty slow, too... as can be the latter half of July.
