    Year-End Review

    I was generally disappointed in the results for my trading models in 2018. While they all showed a profit, only the Volatility Model was able to out-perform the S&P 500, which is the benchmark I like to use for my trading.
    Not to make excuses, but it was a difficult year for most timing systems. It's more difficult to buy low and sell high when there are no significant pull-backs in the market.
    I decided not to continue my daily tracking of my models on here. I retired in October of last year. While that certainly allows me more time to do things such as this, I've also found that since retiring and being diagnosed with cancer I've become a bit more adverse to committing to things like this on a regular basis, while becoming more committed to family and friends.

    Aggressive Model trades only TNA/TZA.
    Conservative Model trades only SPY/SH.
    Volatility Model trades only XIV/VXX.

    All returns (except TSP) are compounded.

    Aggressive Model
    2016: +62.2%
    2017:+4.3%

    Conservative Model
    2016: +10.4%
    2017: +5.9%

    Volatility Model
    2016 (6 months): +48.0%
    2017: +20.4%

    TSP Model
    2017: +10.77%

    I was diagnosed with prostate cancer late 2003. Had surgery early 2004 and have been cancer free.

    Fight the fight.
    May the force be with us.
