This is the first buy signal my timing signal has generated since late December. Since then it’s either been on a sell signal or on the sidelines. There’s no doubt that it’s a little bit of a risky trade here with all the macro news that is surrounding the markets, but I take all my signals. About 8 months ago I tweaked my entries/exits in an attempt to avoid whipsaws and I’m happy with the results and this will be a good test to see if it’s smoothed out the entries.
I mention in the video I was looking for any excuse to not enter this trade when I got my signal given I was short a number of positions, but in the end I covered my shorts and bought PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 (ETF) (NASDAQ:QQQ) near the days lows on the markets. Today is going to be interesting.
