I guess I'll chime in although maybe this is a boring answer.  :)

My system is a medium term long only system.  By the end of August, I
was 50% in cash and by the end of September I was 100% in cash which
is still where I am today.  Given the charts, I think I will probably
be in cash for quite a while longer.  Performance hasn't been good as
I've experienced a large drawdown of over 30% which has taken me into
the red for the year.  I guess the good news is that I'm outperforming
my benchmark index.  :/  

In the meantime, I have been working on a trend following system that
trades leveraged ETFs.  Results have been decent in testing but I need
more time to "get a feel" for the system.  Plus after this good run
(if you are playing the short trend), I fear starting to trade the
system and experiencing the whipsaw that may follow.
