I’ve updated the Quantifiable Edges Big Time Swing System overview page with results through July 13th (when the most recent trade closed out). The system only averages about 1 trade per month, so I typically update the results bi-annually. The QE Big Time Swing System has been on a roll in 2015. It has had 6 trades. All six signals in 2015 have realized profits. The signals produced a net return of 9.87% for SPY (including dividends, commissions of $0.01/share, and an assumed interest rate on cash of 0.1%). The system also continues to make new equity highs.
The Big Time Swing System provides easy to follow mechanical rules. The standard parameters are not optimized, have never been changed, and have performed quite well (they are the ones used for all performance metrics). There are only about 11 trades per year averaging 7 trading days per trade. 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 all SPY signals and possible entry/exit levels. This service is free for 12 months from the date of purchase.
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.
