I edited the post, as usual hmmm can you make sure of that because you need both SPX and SP8H to hit together so that actual point you bought might be higher Also, you are using a system for indices NOT FUTURES..you cant always switch over I would think..you would need to realign your system points...well maybe.. it just seems it is a whole different ball game and might need different analysis. We have heard Patrick say how OEX sucks and people are leaving it...but I wanted to show you all how bad it REALLY sucks.. OEX SUCKS and this is a case in point of how you can be RIGHT but make no money on a big move... now you just have to hope it keeps moving up.... maybe you should look at how SPX works...or what I mean is look back and see how the SPX would have fared under same conditions...same amount in the money ( maybe you need to do a split adjusted look as well)etc.... or maybe if you used the OEX in your formula it would make a difference. But whatever the case....trading the OEX based on your SPX system can SUCK with the kind of movement you get today...maybe it will run up another 9 points and you can make 1 point...ROFL..no if it was another 9 point I think you would make more than that but here is one cavaet to this...if it had shot straight up...without the 90 point loss yesterday...I think the reaction to the OEX would be different...maybe not...maybe for a 9 point move you would have only got 1/2 point but I think this drop had to have something to do with it...so next time check to see what happens when it is more or less a straight shot up FOLKS THIS IS WHY IT IS HARD TO BE THE BOYS!!!!
