My profit taking signal on the SPX was triggered at the open. That makes two times in a row -- the last one short and this one long. I think the profit taking/protective stop settings should be updated at least every three years -- that is, they should be optimized for the last three years of data, or perhaps an even shorter duration. Right now I have two sets of parameters, one for 1962-1982 and one for 1982-present. I will try to make a study comparing the model performance with optimizing the settings based on the prior 3 years of historical data and compare with the present approach.
