FUTURES - Bi-Weekly Profit (P/L): -(2000.00) 
FUTURES - Bi-Weekly Profit Aggressive Strategy: -(2000.00)
OPTIONS - Liquidation Value:  0
OPTIONS - Premium Taken In:  +7,00.00 (expired)
DISCRETIONARY (Strategy Testing):  0

  The Strategy got a good move higher after switching to a long aggressive, but the overall market has tumbled with economic policy coming under scrutiny with regards to the debt ceiling.  At this point whipsaw has become the norm for the last few months.

 

The options expired in our favor, though we exited before the expiration date. 

 

All but the S&P are signaling moves higher on the aggressive side, with the S&P an outright short but the standard strategy is neutral and requires a new short strangle.  Look for the markets to bounce around until the debt ceiling is resolved.

 

If law makers fail to raise the debt ceiling, the damage across the globe will virtually instantaneous as the credit rating will be lowered requiring pension funds across the globe to liquidate U.S. government debt as most funds require AAA in most of their holdings (which the U.S. will have lost).  This event would calamatous at best.   

 

 

 

     

Commentary 
Bulls-n-Bears

We are nearly fully invested with the system, though we will slowly move into other instruments as we go.  First will be the DOW and Nasdaq, but we need to really push this system to it limits. 

 

A major upgrade is in the works, but 3.3.1 has been released into production. 

 

Paperwork - its still not easy 
  

EddieZ I realize that the paperwork is a little difficult and the instructions for creating an account can be a little confusing, its normal, especially for futures.  I will be working with our specialist to make things a little easier.

 

Thank you for your patience as we all work through this.

  

Sincerely,
