Commodity Pool Operations

       All TradeStation accounts were funded (3 total as described in Profit and Risk Disclosure document) and live trading began for CPO!  It was a good week, all accounts operated as expected and there was a minor profit for the week.  For 2015 the system is up 10% and actual is up %0.5 (trading started Wednesday of last week).  We are tracking as expected.

 

Market Summary - Macro                           
S&P 500 Review

      The S&P is attempting a rally above 2100 but struggling to gain a foothold.  The COT is negative but the market has made a nice floor around 2030.  The current signal is green (as seen above) but historical evaluation suggests waiting for one more day before entering new long positions. 

 

Overall, there are a number of reasons to Hold and an equal number of reasons if not more to take some profits.  In general, timing is too difficult...you have to pick the right time to exit and then the right time to get back in (the harder part).  In modeling millions of data points, its a complete wash--in other words, for every time the market is timed perfectly, there is an equal number of time it is not. 

 

As far as the above chart is concerned, the COT is showing the hedgers are

about even in their thoughts, while small traders a bullish and professional speculators are somewhat bearish.  With all eyes on earnings and a mixed bag of macro and technical indicators, a HOLD is still in play.

2015 - CPO, Website, Subscriptions

EddieZ

 Greetings! I was really happy to get the CPO fired up this week and it was a good week for the system too.  Please note, from the Profit and Risk Disclosure documents you can expect 10% fluctuations in profit and risk and the system will be fully applied today (i.e. 1 contract for every $10,000-$20,000.00). 

 

Where do we go from here?  Now that the non-profit CPO is established, we will focus on the website for the next two weeks along with getting the subscriptions for our macro recommendations (above) established on the website along with additional training for TradeStation automation strategy development--Risk analysis.

 

Our next focus after the website will be the for profit CPOs and then back to a public listing.  If you have any questions or if you need assistance with anything, please contact me at any time.

 
Sincerely,
