$STUDY $SPY While people were panic selling today, we were panic buying. With experience trading real markets with real money in real time... this game becomes second nature.

$STUDY $SPY Markets are always volatile ahead of midterm elections. This is where the real sausage is made.

An abnormal September increase in US Imports has widened the monthly trade deficit to the third largest level on record at $145.5 Billion. Imports are up by 25.4% through the first three-quarters of this year, performance that is unprecedented in modern history and well ahead of the 7.5% rise that is average for this timeframe. So much for tariffs balancing trade. $STUDY $MACRO #Economy #Trade #Tariffs

$STUDY CycleTrade Quant Framework I am a quantitative trader, meaning I focus on price, volatility, trend persistence, and risk-adjusted returns rather than qualitative predictions, narratives, opinions, or emotion. At the core of CycleTrade Strategies are two volatility envelopes: V1 (Volatility Envelope 1) Built around a short-term EMA Upper and lower bands are set at either 1 ATR or 2 ATR Used as the Entry Engine V2 (Volatility Envelope 2) Built around a long-term EMA Lower band is set at either 2 ATR or 4 ATR Used as the Exit Engine The longer EMA is five times the length of the shorter This creates four primary strategy combinations: 1×V1 + 2×V2 Fast Entry / Moderate Exit Earliest participation Quicker trend capture Moderate trend tolerance Frequently performs well on broad-market ETFs and growth stocks 1×V1 + 4×V2 Fast Entry / Deep Exit Earliest participation Maximum trend persistence Designed to stay with major moves Often excels when premature exits are costly 2×V1 + 2×V2 Selective Entry / Moderate Exit Requires stronger confirmation before entry More conservative participation Often reduces drawdown Frequently performs well in volatile growth and crypto markets 2×V1 + 4×V2 Selective Entry / Deep Exit Highest entry confirmation Deepest trend tolerance Filters many signals Favours patience over activity How I Evaluate Results I primarily evaluate strategies using: RDR (Reward-to-Drawdown Ratio) RDR = PnL ÷ Drawdown Secondary considerations include: Win Rate Trade Count Strategy Robustness Consistency across multiple asset classes CycleTrade Philosophy - Present price is truth Narrative may explain the past Prediction attempts to explain the future CycleTrade seeks only to identify, participate in, and remain with profitable trends while controlling risk. I am less interested in being right than in discovering what is true through testing. The knowing proposes. The data disposes. The market gets the final vote.

remember: the default position to any observation should be to do nothing. You should only be putting on a trade for the most compelling setups. $STUDY

Strength in the manufacturing economy worked to support the Canadian labour market following three straight months of declines, but a highly abnormal decline in Canadian retail employment raises concerns pertaining to the health of this cohort heading into the big spending period at year-end. Employment in Canada actually gained 18,100 positions, or 0.09% (NSA) in October, but this is half of the 0.2% increase that is average for this fall month. $STUDY $MACRO #CDNecon #CAD

Employment in the US actually expanded by 1.023 million, or 0.6% (NSA), last month, which is just shy of the 0.7% increase that is normal for October. An abnormal expansion in the Manufacturing economy heading into the fall offset ongoing weakness in Oil/Gas extraction, Construction, Information, Telecommunications, Financial Activities, and Leisure/Hospitality segments, many of which have struggled from the high cost of borrowing/living. $STUDY $MACRO #Economy #Employment #NFP

$STUDY Time zones are getting interesting. For decades, the market opened at 8:30 AM here in Manitoba because both Central and Eastern time zones changed their clocks together. Because Manitoba stops changing clocks while Eastern still does, the same NYSE/NASDAQ open will be: 📈 9:30 AM Winnipeg in winter 📈 8:30 AM Winnipeg in summer The market doesn't change. The opening bell doesn't change. Only the number on the clock changes. A good reminder that clocks are human constructs, while time just keeps moving. ⏰🤔 Perhaps I am the only trader on from Manitoba?
