This simple indicator continues to handle the year’s whipsaws quite well. Trading SPY with the indicator has resulted in a year-to-date net gain of 10.16% while a buy and hold of SPY has yielded a gain of only 6.23%.
The indicator signaled short at the close on July 3rd, effectively shorting exactly at the recent high.
Because it was designed with a much longer time horizon, I’m still not sure how well the indicator will handle all this whipsawing. So far, so good.
