No change on SPY. It is still showing an exit on long, and my portfolio is gradually withdrawing from its previous highs, despite the hedges. It would have been a much sharper pull back without the hedge; but I still don’t like it. I had tried to sell a vertical spread call on CAT when I got the last down signal on it; but it was a limit order and did not take. I would be better off doing a market order when I want to take a position. I place these orders on the weekend or at night and do not track it through the day as I have a day job and do not want a conflict with it. I want to follow my systems end-of-day or end-of-month. The 401K is of course slower being once per month analysis and decision.
I am attaching the chart on SPY below
The next thing I want to think about is looking at doing some credit spreads to generate some income based on directional strategies. I still want to look at a faster system that is small risk but it has to be directional and fluid.
Thanks for sharing your info. Met you in the ATL airport. I will get started on my money tree. Eddye
ReplyDeleteThnaks for the comment Eddye. It is never to late to start. Assume it will take you 5 years to be proficient at it like any other field. In the beginning as I learned, it felt like a knew a lot when I had much to learn. Now I realize that everything is probablilistic and all I can do is ride the probablilities in my favor. Long term it should pay off and is far better than the other options. Good luck!
