Commentary written on 09/25/2004
The trading system that was developed on data from 1/1/88 to 1/1/96 obviously failed in 1999. The parameters that worked for 10 years did not fit 1999 market conditions. I have optimized the parameters to fit the market from 1/1/98 to 12/31/99. The Critical parameters are:
 
2) Family             A-SEL(38 Selects+MM)
8) Rank Short         10
9) Rank Long          60
10) Slope LookBack    0
11) Ranking Method    ACC
17) Wilder Accel      0.0006
18) Signal File       A-SEL
24) Min Rank to Buy   10
27) Maxi Rnk to Hold  16
28) Num of Pos        5
35) Min Dys to Hld    30
36) Penalty           0.75%
 
The performance of this System in 2003 was:
From 12/31/02 to 12/31/03
Total Trades = 21
Num Wins= 14(66.7%)
Trades/Position/Year= 4.2
Total to date= 32.0%
Annualized Gain= 32.0%
Maximum Draw Down= 12.30%
Ulcer Index= 5.06%
 
The current performance of this System is:
From 12/31/03 to 09/24/04
Total Trades = 25
Num Wins= 7(29.2%)
Trades/Position/Year= 6.9
Total to date= -9.7%
Annualized Gain= -12.94%
Ulcer Index= 10.83%
Maximum Draw Down= 15.97%
 

A-SEL Holdings on 09/24/04 are:

===================================================================
Conclusion:
 
Bond yields moved lower last week. Yields broke through the up trend line through the lows of June 2003 and March 2004. The picture is unchanged from last week. The weekly indicators have moved to levels that usually mark the end of a trend and the daily indicators are displaying divergences. The down move in yields is loosing momentum but the trend line break is significant. Yields could fall to support at the March 2004 low of 4.65%.
 
The Select Family average moved lower last week. Prices fell back from the top of the small down trending channel that began in January 2004. The McClellan Oscillator has a positive look in that it has stayed above +100 for a month. Prices will probably not fall to the bottom of the channel. This channel is a sideways correction, short in price and long in time. Prices should soon break out the top of the channel.
 
The Dow, S&P, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, and Select Family Average retreated from the top of narrow down trending channels that began in January 2004. This channel is a sideways correction, short in price and long in time. Prices should soon break out the top of the channel. The Dow was the weakest index this week while the Russell 2000 was the strongest. This is a positive.
