Hold shorts.

Things were looking good this morning, but apparently we are back into the "buy the dip" mode.  Both JTS and CCI will remain short.  I will hold my 90% short position (60% TZA, 30% UVXY) and 10% cash. 

Thanks! June sigs...

Flashing shorts!

It's one of those days for my systems.  Short signals coming from all directions!  Time to load up the truck.  JTS is generating a very robust (2nd) short signal.  CCI is flipping to short as well.  JT Comp moves to 100% Short TNA.  I'm opening a large position in TZA.  May even grab some UVXY to "diversify". :)  Take care. J

50% Short TNA

JTS flips to a short signal.  CCI sells its long position and heads to sidelines.  This pushes the JT Composite into a 50% short TNA position.  VIX futures are back in contango which changes the preferred short ETF from VXX back to small caps.  

I'll wait until the CCI gives a short signal (possibly tomorrow if we keep going up) before shorting.  Thanks!

Hold signals.

Nothing new today.  CCI remains long and JTS remains sidelined.  JT Comp holds the 50% TNA for another day.  I'm still waiting patiently for my next move.  Thanks!

Hold @ 50% TNA

JTS is not interested in going long yet.  However, the CCI is giving a fresh buy signal.  With the systems in disagreement, I will maintain my cash position. This is fine w/ me as I think lower prices are in our near future. 

Hold signals.

JTS will remain in cash while CCI will hold it's long position.  JT Comp remains 50% Long TNA over the weekend.  I'm sidelined.  Have a good one!

50% Long XIV TNA (edited )

Sold out of my shorts too soon this morning. At the time, I knew TZA would go higher and yet I ignored this knowledge in favor of some profit taking. Trading is very tricky and plays games with your head.

Very pleased to see both systems nail this move. But now the mean-reversion happy system otherwise known as the CCI is going long today. The superior JTS is not and will instead offer up a "cover" signal and head to the sidelines. So the JT Composite flips to 50% long XIV. Despite the 20%+ spike in the VIX, futures remain in a weak state of contango (just barely) thus the XIV for the long trade. If I were taking a long trade on the close, I would personally opt for TNA but that's just me. I'll be sitting this one out in cash. Another down day tomorrow would almost certainly flip the JTS long but I'm getting ahead of myself. Sit back, grab some popcorn and relax in cash for now. Take care and congrats to all the shorts!

 Edit: Vix futs slipped into backwardation after my post. System will use TNA rather than XIV for this long position. Thx.

Hold signals...

All systems remain short. I'll continue to hold my 90% TZA position. Thanks!

Short signals

I'm seeing short signals flashing from every possible angle of each system. I'm increasing to 90% TZA today and will go 100% short on any FOMC strength tomorrow. Thanks!

100% short tna

The CCI joins the JTS on the short side today sending the JT Comp to 100% short TNA. I will take a decent sized short position around 75%. Thx!

hold signals

Jt comp remains 50% short. Thx! Have a good weekend.

50% short

Cci sells its long position and moves to sidelines. Jts remains short. Jt comp moves to 50% short tna. I will stay on sidelines. Thx.

100% Cash. CCI Longs...

JTS remains short but CCI is going long. JT Composite moves to 100% Cash. I will sell my TZA and head to sidelines. Thanks!

100% short

All systems remain short. I'll hold my tza. Thx!

CCI shorts. JT Comp 100% Short TNA!

CCI joins the JTS on the short side. JT Comp moves to 100% Short TNA on the close. I will be taking a partial TZA position as well. Thanks!

JTS Shorts

Jts moves to a short signal but cci remains long. Neutral. Jt comp moves back to cash which is where I'll stay. I'm on vaca next week but I'll try to get signals posted on time. Thx! Good weekend.

Hold signals

Jt comp remains 50% xiv w cci long and jts in cash. I'm sidelined. Thx!

No changes.

JTS has flipped to unhealthy mode and will remain in cash today.  CCI keeps holding out for a mean reversion play to the upside.  JT Comp remains 50% long XIV.  I will stay on the sidelines for now.  Thanks.

50% Long XIV (JTS Covers!)

After what seems like forever in the trading world, JTS finally covers the short position and heads to cash.  CCI remains long.  This configuration places the JT Comp in a 50% long XIV position.  I will remain in cash for a couple reasons:  I'm only following 100% signals and 2, I'm not sure this pullback is finished yet.   Will wait and see... Thanks and best wishes.

Hold signals.

CCI stays long, but the JTS won't flip long today (stays short).  JT Composite remains in cash.  I ditched my TZA today on weakness and I'm back once again to following the JT Comp.  I'll wait on the sidelines until the next 100% signal.  Thanks all.
