Sector Selection / IWM comparison, part 3

The first set of results was done WITHOUT Billy's pivot entry assistance for my sectors:

IWM 6.51%
XLU 0.91%
Difference -5.60%

The remaining sets are being done WITH Billy's pivot entry assistance:

IWM -2.21%
XLK 0.00% (i.e. the trade never hit the stop loss and remained active)
Difference 2.21%

IWM -1.79%
XLK 1.31%
Difference 3.10%

Total differences showed a 0.29% advantage for IWM after three trades.

However, total differences with Billy's pivot entry assistance after two trades showed a 5.31% advantage for my sector selection.

So far, this remains inconclusive. The only thing I can say with confidence at this point is that Billy's proprietary pivot entries are essential.

I'll post the new sector selection once the Robot determines a long or short direction for the next trade.

Note: this is not a recommendation; this is my own action for a synergy test between my sector model and Billy's pivot entry points with the Robot calls.

Today I will attempt to enter a long position in XLK, along with the IWM positon of the Robot.

Following Billy's pivot settings for that sector, I will attempt to enter XLK at 25.95, with a stop at 25.45.

I'm watching your picks. They are much appreciated by me.

Thanks Nickola.

I'll try to keep the stops updated too just to be transparent on the test.

I truly appreciate Billy's help with the pivots.

If I understood Billy's note today, we move the stop down to reflect the actual entry price.

My own IWM entry price was 79.91, so (if I read correctly), my own IWM stop should be 78.23.

Also, for XLK, Billy gave me a stop of 1.99% from 25.96, but my actual entry was 25.95, so I've bumped my stop down to 25.44 (instead of 25.45).

Just trying to do everything as close to Billy's method as possible for the test.

Definitely a scary time. Good luck to us all.
