What

First and foremost, this is an unproven method of choosing when to enter and exit a position. Since back-testing is used to produce the models future results may not reflect or produce expected returns.

        Sold Too Early Yesterday But Now May Be Better.

        Yesterday, a half hour prior to the close, all 10 models went bullish. Then after the close the numbers came in showing I sold 3 of the leverage ETFs too early.  With today's huge ramp-up  the models associated with those  three are now in the bearish camp.  And because of the premature call I may rebuild the models based on executing transaction on the ETFs on the next day after a buy or sell call.

        There will be no transactions executed in the paper account  since the 3 were sold yesterday.

        Sell today: Retail(RETL, uggh up today  (~2%) ) Technology(TECL up today (~3%)) Small Caps(TNA up today(~4%))
