On 1/3/11, we launched PDS 2.0. It is exactly the same as the original PDS except that the exit trades are delayed by one day. I believe that the market will stay trendy for some time and delaying the exit trade by one day allows us to ride stocks that are going up for an additional day. However, subscribers can still follow the original exit, if they choose. In fact, we are tracking the results of both exits, and in a few days we will display stats for each exit.
Below I’ve included the YTD results for the 3ATR Position-sizing model (Based on 1% Risk). This model sizes its trades based on the volatility of the stock. Check out the position value column and you will see that the more volatile stocks get smaller positions.
The other models are also doing well.
10% of Equity per Trade Model: +2.02%
20% of Equity per Trade Model: +3.12%
3ATR Position-Sizing (Based on 2% Risk) Model: +4.01%
All above results include .01/share for commissions.
S&P 500 change over same time period: +1.31%

Thus far 2.0 had made me considerably more money the 1.0. It looks to me like it give the dip a bit more time to recover.
