The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The signals are contingent on the underlying index. While this is a long/short strategy system, it isn't binary'positions are usually closed without a transition to the opposite posture in diffidence to choppy markets. The nomenclature is as follows: OL/CL (open long/close long), OS/CS (open short/close short).

For the S&P 500 as represented by /ES futures, here are the signals over the past 12 months:

OS 01/18/22
CS 01/31/22
OS 02/10/22
CS 02/22/22
OL 03/14/22

OL 10/29/22
CL 10/31/22
OL 11/08/22
CL 12/05/22
OS 12/15/22--

I'll post the signals for other indexes if you're interested. Would encourage users to exploit futures rather than leveraged ETFs as leveraged ETFs utilize futures but you do not capture any of the tax benefits that are yours by utilizing the futures on your own. This is to say that using leveraged ETFs rather than futures on equity indexes is hampering your ultimate returns while providing the illusion of convenience, unless you're executing trades in a tax-sheltered American account.
