Is this using US based ETFs Nick? 

More options for ETFs and cheaper fees compared to Aussie ETFs (plus ability to leverage to 200% for multi day holds)

Its thought provoking and I appreciate you sharing.The market is ever changing and we have to change with it.

Thank you for sharing Nick

[KateMoloney]

Out of interest, could you please post the stats of the strategy?

Thanks Nick.

This was a good one to listen to.

Extended drawdowns are tough and push most people out of the game.

My systems are pulling out of drawdown, reached a new equity peak since May 2023. Very rewarding seeing the trading game pay off!

Hi Terry

I have a back up login account / email address with no 2FA. 

From a security perspective, I make sure its an email I don’t use often and a complicated password. Its not perfect but the best way around it.

Maybe you could set your wife up with access? Something you should do in case you get run over by a bus.

December

ASX Momo – Cash

US TLT +4.33%

MOC #1 Long only       +1.77%
MOC #2 Long / Short  -4.3%

MR – on hold

Most of the damage on MOC long short was on the short side from 2 trading sessions in December, despite a high stretch and RUI stocks only.

Put the MR system on hold as real time results were not matching the back tests. In the process of trouble shooting this. 

2024 will look different for me trading wise. Have halved our trading account due to a parent being diagnosed with brain cancer. We are the only family close by and I’ll be the primary carer. This move will bring financial stability to our family through this difficult time.

The interesting thing is, I have become quite detached from trading results. Changed up my trading routine, which has also really helped. 

Next steps will be to figure out what systems to keep VS put on hold. I’ve noticed some of my systems don’t perform as well with lower capital (mainly due to system missing out on higher priced shares – I think?). A potential solution could be trading less positions per system to ensure I have more systems.

Happy trading in 2024 everyone.

Took about 8 weeks off trading in total due to personal circumstances. Have been reviewing systems regularly to stay in touch with the market.
Not much trading happened in October due to most systems being switched off and time off.

I’m reliant on Telstra, Optus is a backup.

Unfortunately other carriers, like vodafone, don’t have good reception in the country

Great to see you trying new things re: the shorts Terry,

[KateMoloney]

Thanks for your input.

I also got this from Norgate Data.Ted (Norgate Data)Oct 30, 2023, 17:44 GMT+11Hello Kate,
 
Let’s take your first example – % of stocks in the $SPX above the X day moving average. To see what’s in the NDU database, go Tools > Data Viewer and select the US Indices database. Then enter SPX in the “Search by symbol” box. Or, more particularly, enter #SPX to show Market Breadth Indicators for SPX only. Or, even more particularly. also enter “above” in the “Search by name” box. This will narrow the search to 5 symbols.
 
You can do do a similar search using NDU’s Watchlist Library and optionally save your preferred indicators in a Static watchlist.
 
If you’re using AmiBroker, then all the Market Breadth Indicators are held under Groups > Market Breadth Indicator.
 
Regards,
 
Ted

I also thought this would be an interesting one to test on as a regime filter, instead of the usual C > 200MA

“% advancing versus declining (stocks up on the day versus down) % new highs versus new lows % stocks above their 50-day SMA and % below % stocks above their 200-day SMA and % below % bull-bear sentiment of subscribers”

[KateMoloney]

Thanks Scott.

All I’ve done is worked on my perceptions around the event – it hasn’t been easy and it takes work.

Being a parent means being a leader, with that comes difficult decisions.

One ah-ha I’ve had from integrating this experience is realizing that I am capable of seeing others biases and trusting myself, even in highly stressful situations. That will be a great skill to bring into trading.
