CMI Making a Statement

The original CMI is not giving up without a fight. After closing out an impressive 5.0% gain, the YTD 35.3% gain is nothing to sneeze at. (Remind me to check some of those H1N1 stocks). Anyway, we are now in a 'no trade' zone.

The CMI 2.0, although in beta testing, has posted a 120% gain this year but that is only through backtesting rather than real data that the CMI (1.0) has posted. Another difference between the two systems is that there is down time (no trading) with the CMI 1.0 while the 2.0 only gives buy or sell signals. There is no such thing as a 'no trade' zone with the 2.0. Either you are in a QID trade or in a QLD trade. This is much more dynamic but has resulted in win/loss % of 50. This means only half the trades make money. The good news is that the winning trade % gain has been four times greater than the losing trade %. If you are unwilling to take small losses, this system may not be for you.
