Quick summary and a new signal triggered

1) I missed an 8% profit by not following the Pivot Trend System's BUY signal on XLF at yesterday's close (by playing FAS). Well, I do make bad decisions and mistakes, which are naturally inevitable for any traders/investors. The more important thing is that you do have your PLAN-B to make up for it to reduce your loss or even turn bad decisions to a winning trade at the end.

2) The Pivot Trend System triggered a new signal on finance: SELL. It is not typical for the system to turn around buy/sell signals so quickly on XLF. The average holding periods for XLF by the system is between 1 and 2 weeks. It may indicate something unusual is coming soon, that I can not tell or confirm at this moment.

3) I loaded the 3rd size of SRS postions before close at $17.4, making the cost of my total 3 sizes of SRS be $18.86. How many total sizes can I add? Or what is each size should I play? That is a money management/risk control question, the answer of which really depends on individual's plans/goals/risk tolerance. To me, I have a total of 5-6 sizes to play.

4) Good Luck!

  2. The 3rd size of SRS can be considered as FAZ positions following today's SELL signal on XLF. I may cut some if I don't feel comfortable. For now it is fine to me.
