Monopoly is a low turn over setup...it is great in finding the turns...but the problem is when it does, it is a lone wolf...so very difficult to believe and execute the signal. Imagine moving from long to short on Oct. 26, 2007 or from short to long on Mar. 18, 2009...assume a 7 figure portfolio...

 

At what point does that actually trigger a sell? It looks close as of 9/12... has it confirmed a sell yet as of today?

As noted, it is fully hedged at the moment. Need more time/or deterioration in price to expose short side [An update will be posted as soon needed].

Hedge got in place within 1.5% of ATH. So nothing to worry. Ideally (80% chance) we will see a close near ATH before next down draft...20% of time downfall continues...

Almost everyone thinks we are going to breakout...is a worry...

Well, so the question I would ask to anyone partecipating in this thread, is the following :

 

1) what is the spx position you would take now ?

 

2) what is your stop loss ?

 

3) what is your target ?

 

4) how long are you planning to stay in your position ?

1) what is the spx position you would take now ?
...Neutral...as disclosed...
 
2) what is your stop loss ?

For short..trend line that connects recent tops since ~218.60...for long.. Exit if Monopoly issues a formal "Sell"
 
3) what is your target ?

...none...just follow the setup...
 
4) how long are you planning to stay in your position ?

...as long as the system says...

...I ask a question and just one replies to me telling he wouldn' t take position.

Well, I asked a bad question, I suppose. No service vendors (and everyone else) replying to the question ?
