market comment February 14

With a small win of 0,61% (real account) and 0,1% (C2) finished SP Alpha February 2014. In early February, the S&P 500 took its long-term upward trend again and rose to new all-time highs.
Unfortunately, our position of system component # 2 from late january was closed near this short term low and could not benefit from the recovery - bad luck.
These things happen from time to time and give no us cause for concern. On the other hand is
the long-term trend-following system component is still in the market and benefited from the return to the highs.

market comment January 14

"With a loss of 12.10% SP Alpha launched in January in the new year 2014.

The upward trend in the S & P500 stopped abruptly in mid of this month, just before the most highly weighted subsystem went into the market. The since early November invested  trend-following system component is returned in this environment close to their entry price. The pullback component of the system is also currently fully invested and will leave with a pullback up the market again. The overall system is currently not far from his "short mode" in which it can then also set on falling prices.

Equities suffering hard last two days....

...and our systempart#2 had a very bad Entry Timing last Thursday.
So this is systemtrading, sometimes hard. It could be the first major Drawdown here on C2. But we always knew that this time will come, we stay cool!
Systempart#6 begins to scale in today, hopefully we can ride the pullback to north.

to C2 Costumers:

To better distinguish the trades of individual system parts from each other, we will use the following differentiation in the future:

System Part # 1: use SDS (Short) or SSO (Long)
System Part # 2: use ES Future & SPY (long)
System Part # 3: use SPY (for Long & Short)
System Part # 4-6 remains unchanged (use VXX and XIV).

Tomorrow we will close out the position in System Part 1 and simultaneously open a new position in the SSO. This trade you don`t do, he is merely for a better overview for the future!

We will also use Stops in the future. This Stops are far away and has no influence on the performance!
This is not a rule change - only a change in trading the rules!!
