1/13/2018 3:30:21 PM @nibor100 K of G's 30 filter XIV SS based system will work for sometime to come if it work for people using it. My point SS which has been discontinued and at some point one day it may or will not work leaving people hanging. Just saying! |

1/13/2018 3:45:32 PM @Mactheriverrat, Oh, you were referring to the SS sw not the K of G system, I'm with you now. Since the SS sw is resident on our computers it should keep running using the same operating system for years to come with no issues. Of course if SS still has some flaws that we later discover we won't be able to get them fixed, but it sure has a lot of capability for free and I suspect many of the kinks are already worked out of it as K of G first reported on using SS back in Jul 2010, so its been working for quite a while now. Thanks, Ed S. |

1/13/2018 3:56:00 PM I've changed the trigger of a cross of price above the ema(16) or price below the ema(16) . To me with XIV when she makes a correction (like a guppy bubble ) a lot of other traders are doing the same thing. Submit |

1/14/2018 10:33:22 AM Thank you, Mac. The Guppy Traders mMAs group is like a first alert since it is so visual. I think alf44 was also a big proponent of mMAs and he once likened mMAs to a set of safety nets. If price falls through a set of safety nets, then the fall would likely be serious. Before any crossings even occurred, Dave's Ira Epstein trading rules are really useful in handling oversbought ovesold condiions, and offer valuable insights on positive negative biases. The embedded SloStoch concept is new to me and also most interesting. Thank you all. |

1/17/2018 2:34:37 PM Nice bounce up today but I would be cautious as government shutdown hangs still. |

1/17/2018 7:19:24 PM Hey Davesaint86 Maybe I’m not understanding how your 1st filter in this thread works. I did a backtest on DUST from 2/2/15 to present and it almost seems too good to be true . 47 wins 5 losses with the avr win being 50% and the avr loss around 4%. That cant be right !! Not sure what I did wrong as far as entering and exiting the trade. I simply bought and sold when the filter toggled from longposition to shortposition. What am I missing here ?? |

1/17/2018 7:46:34 PM I think it is too good to be true. Yesterday was Xiv's first short day, now there are 3 short days. maybe I'm not understanding this completely. How are days changing days later and this would defiantly give some erroneous signals. Unless your signal comes from elsewhere. Sorry if you've answered this already. I was thinking I could retire to some exotic island, or own it with this system. |

1/17/2018 8:26:53 PM If the bars are changing I do not know how. I did not change the the filter. I made a copy of the filter this morning and renamed it and removed all of the moving averages off the plot to see if the DMA8 crossover matched the red vertical bars and it did. Do you think it is possible based on the volatility yesterday of XIV that a bar could have been fluttering off and on all day from being a buy to sell. Maybe it was on that fine line, I don't know. It seems like the best thing to do is create a PowerPoint file and copy and print the end of the day screen shot and if you see for example a vertical bar at the end of the day and then tomorrow that bar is gone then something else is going on. |
