Commentary written on 10/10/2004
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 10/08/04
Total Trades = 25
Num Wins= 7(28.0%)
Trades/Position/Year= 6.5
Total to date= -6.4%
Annualized Gain= -8.15%
Ulcer Index= 10.79%
Maximum Draw Down= 15.97%
 

A-SEL Holdings on 10/08/04 are:

===================================================================
Conclusion:
 
Bond yields moved lower last week. Yields tested and fell back from the downtrend line that started in June. The picture is otherwise unchanged from last week. The weekly indicators have moved to levels that usually mark the end of a trend and the daily indicators are starting to turn up. The daily indicators have also displayed divergences. Yields are in the upper daily Bollinger band are the downtrend is near its end.
 
The Select Family average moved lower last week. Prices broke out the top of the small down trending channel that began in January 2004 and tested the March highs before pulling back. The top of the channel should provide support. The McClellan Summation has broken above July high and is in Bull market territory. The correction that started in January is probably over and the second rally of the four-year cycle has started.
 
The Dow, S&P, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, and Select Family Average all moved lower last week. The Russell 2000 and Select Family Average broke through and are still above the small down trending channel that began in January 2004. The S&P and NASDAQ 100 briefly broke out then fell back into their channels. The Dow is still in its channel. The Russell 2000 is the strongest while the Dow is the weakest; this is a Positive. The correction that started in January is probably over and the second rally of the four-year cycle has started.
