It's not fancy.

It is such a simple set of rules.

I will take a modest bow by pointing out that using SPX, I'm up 65.88% from when last purchased in June 2023. This is on the vast majority of my retirement accounts.

[I could never stomach this w/o a plan of rules.]

Dpong you have the best trading system!

What's your % projection for the year?
 
Hi Goldhedge,

I don't have a projection. My system is not predictive, it is merely reactive.

S&P 500 is up 11.02% Year to Date. One full year look-back, it is up 30.02%. So S&P 500 has been a good place to be recently. How long will that last? I have no idea. But we will exit according to our rules when the time comes.
