Last week has been very hectic week for me so I didn’t find the time to publish my weekly status. I entered a new position QNTA due to new signal from the system.

Last week continued the negative movement we witnessed its prior week. SATC took a big hit and dropped to 32.80% but no stop signal was given. RCCC got a time based sell signal. I hold the stock for almost six months in which almost no movement had been seen. I sold the stock yesterday at 44.35.

It’s been a volatile week which sadly ended badly. TSYS is about to sell today due to stop loss. IRETS is not looking very good as well and hopefully it will recover during the week. If you followed SATC you probably saw how volatile its behavior has been.

It seems the decline was restrained and we might hit market bottom. This does not mean we'll see the market soar in the following days or even weeks but I believe we will not see steep declines as well.

Open positions for January 20th

As the market goes through a healthy cleaning process the system act as expected and positions getting closed one after the other. Since the beginning of the month, 7 stocks out of the 13 stocks which I had in my portfolio have been closed. The portfolio has suffered a drawdown of 14% during that period.

In these periods I find it helpful to read any information talking about periods like the one we're now experiencing. I find that there is a common ground with all the books/blogs and it is to stay focus and remember to look at longer time frames than the current day, week or even month. As history repeat itself, even when discussing the financial markets, periods like this happened before and at the end of them the market returned to its natural direction.

As I mentioned in my previous post, we might already hit market bottom but a confirmation for this will only be available in the following week or two.

It seems we are officially in a bear market and as you can see in the table below, my positions are getting closed one by one. The system is programmed not to trade in a bear market. this is done by checking the position of the QQQQ relative to its moving average. I.e, while the QQQQ is positioned below it's moving average no buy signals will be generated. Since this is the situation for the present, I do not expect any buy signals until the trend reverses. To answer your question as to why using the QQQQ, you might want to read this post.

I'm a bit disappointed from the way last year ended for me. I had expected last year to be profitable and until two weeks ago it has, but when the Nasdaq drops nearly 11% in just two weeks, computerize systems don't have enough time to adjust. Having said that I am determined to follow the system's alerts. I found that whenever doubts starts to pervade there is nothing like watching my system's simulation results to overcome it.

Last week was very hard for bears and as the system trade only long positions it also got hit by the sharp decline the market witnessed. Three of my positions got a sell signal which I intend to execute today. Hopefully this week will compensate for last week but I say it with little hope.

Last week's bearish behavior ended up with two sell signal as  seen in the following table. Looking at the High / Low indicator on the SPX, it seems it is highly oversold and I hope we'll see some bullish behavior this week.
