08/02/13: +$127.35 (0.19%) vs. SPX +0.16% Holding UPRO, next timing window is EOD 08/05 Monday. Strong momentum, so I wouldn't be surprised if this keeps going up into the next major timing window the week after next.
08/05/2013: ($117.40) (0.18%) vs. SPX (0.15%) Bought one more UPRO lot at cost of $75.44. Cost avg on the two lots is now $74.27. Stop is moved up to $74.0. System is still looking to buy. Personally I don't believe there is much left to this rally but am objectively relying on the system and seeing how it goes. Next timing window is 8/8
08/06/2013: ($774.90) (1.17%) vs. (0.57%) Currently holding 2 lots of UPRO so 2x long levered. Wasn't great entry at all yesterday. Should have waited until today. I also had set the stop to 72.8.
08/08/2013: +$504 (+0.78%) vs. SPX +0.39% Odd, I made back the exact amount I lost yesterday. Today we had a timing window in the first two hours of the trading day, which at the time prompted another buy however I've reached my levered amount so didn't put on a trade. If this is accurate, then we are probably up again tomorrow into mid-day Monday (8/12). H&S could be at risk, we'll see.
08/09/2013: ($777) (1.19%) vs. SPX (0.36%) Was stopped out on UPRO at 72.98. Took a short SPX via SPXU @ 20.77 3rd week out of 4 since this journal started that I'm down. Currently down MTD (1.06%) and YTD (2.38%) since journal began. Not a good start by any means.
08/12/13: +$82.44 (+0.13%) vs. SPX (down 0.12%) Closed short because I was getting conflicting signals at the timing window and I want to play this a bit safe so went flat at the close. Live to fight another day.
08/13/13: +341.91 [+0.53%] vs. SPX +0.28% Entered into UPRO again this morning. Tomorrow is a possible timing window early morning with another one at the EOD 8/16/open on 8/19. Holding UPRO into tomorrow.
08/14/13: ($441.35) (0.68%) vs. SPX (0.52%) Got stopped out in the morning with small gain and then bought back in last hour 1 lot of UPRO. Timing window (last hourly bar) was another buy. I think people would laugh at me but this is the 4th straight buy indication from the system I follow and haven't encountered a sell yet on the timing window. Interesting times. Seeing plenty of news articles about 1987 crash analog and hindenburg omens + 8/16 Gann crash. The only thing I know is to trust yourself and your system since that's the only way to learn.
