Pascal,

the graph of the 20DMF still says "Neutral since 1/4/2012"
shouldn't that be "Short since 3/6/2012" because the conditions are met (MF has gone negative and Avg Ext TEV of the four inversed ETFs is higher than 4%)?

yes, indeed. There was a problem with the totle updating.
I'll be correcting this.

And this sentence needs to be corrected on the IWM Robot Page:

The 20DMF has been in SHORT mode since the close of 3/5/2012.

Not to pile on, but can this be true?

"LT algo: -2.21%
ST algo: -1.92%
Expected 3D gain is -0.09% from the previous day's close, with a win ratio of 57.6%."

Somehow a 3D move of just -0.09% seems unlikely.

Yes. You are right. I'll check the formula.

It was mathematically correct, but the regression line started at -2%. So I added more points before -2% so that the regression line gets more point for a more precise slope definition.

The results is a gain of 0.65%, which is not much anyway. To get better returns, we would need a much higher ATR (more panic in the markets.) The ATR is still in the "bullish" zone.

So, this is another reason not to put too much leverage on the trade.
