I got long SDS @14.43 based on Kevins stochastic cross filter, may have been a mistake since it is about to cross back up already. I could not get it to backtest well with a 3% trailing stop but it did backtest well the last 3 quarters with a regular 3% stop loss. Eman have you used Stockvision lately and did you get Retrospect?

Trend is still seriously strong....bears aren't getting any traction, any dip is quickly gobbled up.

Duke:
If you got in SDS at 14.43 you are currently up on the trade, just barely. Even if the cross back to SSO happens by the end of the day, you probably will breakeven or at the worst lose a fraction of a percent.

Thanks Kevin, I noticed in the backtest that often I could have done better waiting until the end of the day after the trigger or even 2 days later. I also noticed that it didn't always switch from sso to sds on the same day and some times bought sso twice in a row not sure why. All in all the results were impressive enough to throw real money at it . Thanks again I appreciate your work.
P.S. I see SDS has already crossed up this morning at 9:00 AM cst

I noticed that as well, but there's no call made until the day is done. Let's see how this plays out. The fact that you got in at 14.43 (versus the mechanical entry at 14.64 ) means you'll do better on this trade than the system will.
