Good morning.

As of today, Thursday, August 18, 2016, the return from my trading performance since January 1 stands at +48.4 accumulated points vs the benchmark SPY’s performance of +12.4 points over the same period. On Wednesday my performance dipped -0.54 from Tuesday on 27 trades in Risk-Off mode (shown above), where trades are not extended and exits are bounded by predetermined time in trade limits absent other reasons to exit (e.g., price target or stop loss reached, etc.). On Wednesday the SPY rose +0.41. My Risk-On mode, which extends the holding period for trades until the day’s close, sank -2.96. 

Today’s a new day and I am prepared for the market open with 11 themes/strategies I determined overnight will best match what the market throws at us. I may or may not use all these intraday strategies depending on whether or not all the criteria for each are satisfied.

Of these 11 strategies selected today 8 are Long, bullish in outlook. 3 are Short, bearish in outlook. Ready for anything. The long strategy, ‘The Turn’, in the list below has the highest Win %s based on optimized, backtested scenarios. 

Here are the algos:

No.	Win %	Strategy	L/S
1	54.9	Alpha Predator	Long
2	65.2	Bullish Trend Change	Long
3	52.4	Horseshoe Down	Short
4	62.3	Knocking on Resistance	Short
5	68.1	Looking for Bounce	Long
6	64.4	Pushing Through Resistance	Long
7	61.3	Putting on the Breaks	Short
8	60.0	Quarterback	Long
9	60.3	Tailwind	Long
10	61.5	The Continuation	Long
11	70.7	The Turn	Long
