The Quantifiable Edges Big Time Swing System posted a perfect record in 2017! There were 9 SPY trades closed out during the year (8 long and 1 short), and they were all winners. I’ve updated the Quantifiable Edges Big Time Swing System overview page with results through 2017. The system only averages about 1 trade per month, so I do not update it all that often. The signals produced a net return of 8.44% for SPY (including dividends, commissions of $0.01/share, and an assumed interest rate on cash of 0.1%). And it only had exposure to the market during all or part of 18% of the trading days in 2017! While the winning % was especially strong, the fact that it posted gains overall was not a surprise. The QE Big Time Swing System has yet to post a losing year in SPY.

The system provides easy to follow mechanical rules, with no black box component. The standard parameters are not optimized, and have never been changed since the system’s release in 2009. There are only about 11 trades per year averaging 7 trading days per trade. To make it even easier, all entries and exits are either at the open or the close. And to be sure you have everything set up properly, traders may follow the private purchasers-only blog that tracks SPY signals and possible entry/exit levels.

For system developers looking for a system that they can use as a base to build their own system from, the Big Time Swing is an attractive option. It is all open-coded and comes complete with a substantial amount of background historical research. And since it is only in the market about ¼ of the time, it can easily be combined with other systems to provide greater efficiency of capital. Once you’re ready to try and improve the system yourself you can also refer to the system manual or the August 2010 purchaser-only webinar – both of which discuss numerous ideas for customization.

The system has proven its worth since its release over eight years ago.  Don’t wait another year to determine if the QE Big Time Swing System is appropriate for you.  For more information and to see the updated overview sheet, click here.
