Here are my signals from last night (for comparison to what others should be getting):
| Side | Action | PF | OrderType | Product | Symbol | Name | BuyDate | BuyPrice | ClosePrice | GainLoss | SystemName | | | Long | Sell | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 12/1/2017 | 116.69 | 128.1 | 9.78% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #32 | | | Long | Sell | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 11/30/2017 | 120.04 | 128.1 | 6.71% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #20 | | | Long | Sell | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 12/7/2017 | 116.3 | 128.1 | 10.15% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #15 | | | Long | Hold | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 12/4/2017 | 119.76 | 128.1 | 6.96% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #27 | | | Long | Hold | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 12/5/2017 | 116.7 | 128.1 | 9.77% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #23 | | | Long | Hold | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 11/29/2017 | 120.47 | 128.1 | 6.33% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #6 | |
Based on this, I will sell another 3,000 shares today at the open. May opt for a limit order at $129 if it opens near that price.

The system gains are typically in this range - in percent it is not really all that impressive, but since I am trading at a fairly large level that absolute gains are decent.

@davesaint86,
Did you have 3 different filters posting Buy signals on 11/28 for the Open of 11/29?
I only have 1 filter Buy signal in the Daily Signals run for the night of 11/28, and that filter is still in Hold mode as of last night, so normally would not be sold today at the Open.
Thanks,
Ed S.

I'm getting two new BUY signals for tomorrow.
| Side | Action | PF | OrderType | Product | Symbol | Name | BuyDate | BuyPrice | ClosePrice | GainLoss | SystemName |
|---|
| Long | Buy | 10 | Market | Stock | XIV | XIV | | | 127.71 | | XIV MULTISYSTEM #20 | | Long | Buy | 10 | Market | Stock | XIV | XIV | | | 127.71 | | XIV MULTISYSTEM #38 | | Long | Hold | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 12/4/2017 | 119.76 | 127.71 | 6.64% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #27 | | Long | Hold | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 12/5/2017 | 116.7 | 127.71 | 9.43% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #23 | | Long | Hold | 10 | | Stock | XIV | XIV | 11/29/2017 | 120.47 | 127.71 | 6.01% | XIV MULTISYSTEM #6 |
My goal is actually to be in cash by the end of this year - not that I don't have faith in the system as it has performed admirably to date, but I am a bit concerned about how much longer this sustained low volatility environment can be maintained. Also, I have applied a lot of trading capital against this system throughout the year and want to approach 2018 with a bit more diversification.
Remember two things about this system:
1. It is long only. I was not able to find a lot of good short filters on XIV, although using other approaches this can be done. I would feel more comfortable if this could signal both ways.
2. It is composed of 30 filters that will over time need to be individually re-optimized. I built this about 5 or 6 months ago, and so far it continues to do well, but like all filters it needs to be retrained on more recent data periodically. I realize that is a lot of effort, but it could easily be split among several folks here.

Kevin, since I am somewhat older, my technical skills are limited. If you show me how it is done, I will be glad to help update the filters. Thanks.
Best regards,
Eugene
