Some performance information. Since the TGMBFS has held at least 5 stocks on 15-MAY-2015, the open to the open the following day performance (I used open to open instead of closing price since we buy at open) of the TGMBFS vs. the S&P 500 index:

15-MAY-2015:
TGMBFS: +0.45%
S&P 500 Index: -0.04%
Delta: +0.49%

18-MAY-2015:
TGMBFS: +0.63%
S&P 500 Index: +0.38%
Delta: +0.25%

19-MAY-2015:
TGMBFS: -0.86%
S&P 500 Index: -0.08%
Delta: -0.78%

20-MAY-2015:
TGMBFS: 0.28%
S&P 500 Index: -0.11%
Delta: +0.39%

21-MAY-2015:
TGMBFS: 0.46%
S&P 500 Index: 0.23%
Delta: +0.23%

22-MAY-2015:
TGMBFS: 0.50%
S&P 500 Index: -0.24%
Delta: +0.74%

26-MAY-2015:
TGMBFS: -0.42%
S&P 500 Index: -0.95%
Delta: +0.53%

Total Delta: +1.85%

Not huge, but it has only been since 15-MAY since the TGMBFS has held 5 or more stocks. Very small sample size obviously, but on pace to beat the S&P 500 index by 66.96% - haha! That would be nice. (252 trading days per year/7 trading days * 1.85% = 66.96% above S&P 500 index).

KORS, APA, and HES showing up on the scan. Awaiting for confirmation at COB (close of business). Nothing else getting close so far.

I will also add another line into the system thread indicating the purchase price of each position.

Well, the S&P 500 index kicked our butts from yesterday's open until today's open.

TGMBFS: +0.34%
S&P 500 Index: 0.81%
Delta: -0.47%

Hopefully, we get some of that back.

Keep an eye on MU, got within $0.56 of triggering a sell at 10% profits.

Midday report:

Oh well - the new buys of the day pretty much cancelling each other out today so far, but slightly positive.

APA bought at 60.53, now down $1 from there, -1.63%.
KORS bought at 45.61, now up $0.94 from there, 2.06%

Overall today:
TGMBFS: -0.2%
S&P 500 index: -0.4%

Making up some of the delta from yesterday, but still early.

Pretty much the only stock coming close on the scan today is HES.

LUV also getting closer to showing up on the scans. Needs to drop about 3% though.

Open 28-May to open 29-May:

TGMBFS: -0.29%
S&P 500 index: -0.08%
Delta:  -0.21%

Since 15-MAY (since active system held 5 stocks or more), system is beating the S&P 500 index by +1.17%.  Took a hit last 2 days.  Hopefully, better week coming up.

Another crappy day for the market so far. TGMBFS beat the S&P 500 Index by a healthy daily margin (0.3% or so), but still down a little (-.2% or so). Even though the system beat the index, negative returns for the day kind of sucks. Will post open to open results Monday after open - with some luck, maybe it will turn postive in after hours or premarket. I don't think any new picks for Monday morning, but we still have an hour and a half to go.

Only change for Monday's open will be a target price adjustment. Will post later.

Vb, remind me again, please...why these revisions take place?

Just a time based price revision, PXD was originally purchased on 12-MAY and had a 10% profit target for 2-1/2 weeks since purchase (18 calendar days). It didn't get there, so now it has a 15% profit target of 4 weeks since purchase (28 calendar days). If it doesn't hit that, it goes to the 20% 6 month target, which gives the stock a more generous amount of time to hit that target. The first 2 targets are basically hoping for quick pops.

This thread sort of explains it:

https://10gm.forumotion.com/t51-strategy-time-based-profit-targets#290

If the system wasn't so automated, I'd eyeball the charts and determine more specific targets for each pick, but just keeping it simple with the 10/15/20% targets.

Yeah, sorry, I knew that....just wasn't thinking about the time-based adjustments....

A look ahead:
Target for NBL changes to 52.26 for tomorrow's open.
Target for HOG and MU changes to 62.94 and 30.51 for Wednesday's open.

Open to open results (we use open to open instead of close to close since our initial entries are at open, not close) from open 29-MAY to open 1-JUN:

TGMBFS: -0.18%
S&P 500 Index: -0.57% (2120.66 to 2108.64)
Delta: +0.39%
Total Delta since TGMBFS held at least 5 stocks: +1.56%

Hopefully, we have a better week and get above +2.5% delta. It would be nice to see this climb 3%, 4%, 5%, etc. over the coming summer months.

Just some lunchtime performance numbers for TGMBFS:

TGMBFS: -0.09%
S&P 500 Index: +0.08%

Lagging, but nothing significant at this point. Hopefully turns around. Looks like KORS is doing pretty good at 2.25% and MU having a 1% day so far. PXD and AAL hanging around +0.5%. Need the energy/metals/software laggards to pick up the pace.

and as usual, HES on the watchlist as a potential pick. Never seems to just make it at the end of the day.

Also MRO is getting closer as a potential pick as well. Nothing on the radar though other than HES and MRO now.

I have no idea why AAL just went bonkers, but I like it. Hopefully it sticks.

AAL went up another percent, but appears to have strong resistance at $44 - hopefully she breaks though for a quick 3 day 10% with our 45.82 target in TGMBFS.  

Edit - and there she goes, $44.25, but getting close to the end of the trading day. With some luck, some after hours action will take us to our target.

Looks like HES is our new pick. Will confirm later (stockfetcher scans have a delay so I usually wait until 6PM to be safe) and post in the main thread.
