3 Day Weekend Update

Stayed and played at the Kemah Boardwalk this weekend. The girls and I ate great seafood, shopped, and rode the train. It was a little cold...but still enjoyable. My daughter loved the Aquarium restaurant. Her parents did too. :)

Now, on to business. I'm thinking about changing the trading of the QQQQ systems...both the weekly and daily systems. The reason? Too much money is tied up in order to trade them. Basically, they just don't produce enough profit to warrant the tie up of capital. I have two choices: 1) Trade the underlying option contracts or 2) Convert the systems into an indicator and use to create strategies to trade stocks within the Nasdaq 100 index.

So, over the coming weeks expect changes in those systems and how they are published.

Have a great week!

New System Triggers
  • Closing the following long systems at Tuesday's market open: QQQQ (Tii100Low) and QQQQ (Harami).
