       KVS  #957  FALL 2008:  1. AUTO TRADE THE KVS OPTION SYSTEM “DTE2008”:  DOWN MARKET TRADE AVERAGE +26%;  2. SHORT TERM MARKET CYCLES: NEW “BEAR PHASE” INEVITABLE;  3. “OP40” YEAR #13!

******************************************************************************************************

 

We have completed our last DTE2008 performance task, to maintain a +25% or better trade average in an environment of “unpredictable” whipsaws. The task was to recognize unusually high risk of loss in advance, and bypass the responsible signals. Period #16 in the 10 month summary below (Oct 2007 into Aug 2008) presented no fewer than 5 real life test cases for the “inevitability” of loss. Indeed, actual trades incurred losses, but our Loss Bypass Screen, developed and back tested as part of this last task, ignored these signals and bypassed the losses. Retroactive application to periods before #16 would have enhanced returns further, but we felt that period #16 by itself sufficed as a proving ground.

 

Your first Bonus as an Auto Trader will be a detailed description of how “inevitable” loss can be recognized in advance, and side stepped.  In your auto trade account, recognizing and side stepping such a high risk profile will be evident from the absence of trade recommendations for certain days. Trade omission rationale will be amplified by educational footnotes. You won’t need to take any special action, the auto trade process will simply not allow certain signals to generate trades. But if you have one or more other trading accounts that you manage yourself: then knowing the Loss Bypass Screen may well become one of your most appreciated assets. --- Here is your 10 month DTE2008 snapshot: it was during this period that the Dow fell 20% (even increased it to 25%), and thereby issued a traditional Bear Market signal:

  16   JUL 15-AUG  7    12   +187 +535  +361% +4616%   180    + 26%

 

The last entry in the record, in the three right columns, shows that the cumulative gain on 180 traded signals was +4616%. The average gain was +26%: 4616 divided by 180. If you trade index options systematically, with daily attention, this should not surprise you.  Anticipating your questions:   How long does a trade last? One to 4 sessions. How does KVS get a signal? By analyzing price patterns and market movements daily, using original KVS formulas. How does KVS share the signal with its system users? By email near 10PM ET. The email advises, for next day: specific option; specific buy price; specific sell price. If the option is still held at the end of the next day: that night's email advises a new sell price, or stays with the previous.

 

Which index and expiration month does KVS use? All signals are for specific SP100 ("OEX") options, expiring in the current month, unless the time left is less than 2 weeks; in that case the following month is picked. "Can I substitute a different index, if I think it will do better?" SP100 price action correlates well with the price action of other indices. If KVS recommends a call, you buy a call as well, on your chosen index.  If KVS recommends a put, you buy a put as well, on your chosen index. Track KVS results, and your own, for a few days. Be satisfied that you're getting comparable gains. Typically: 

 

The KVS option choice achieves +30% to +40% on a winning trade. Losses are no more than 4 out of 11. Average loss is less than  average gain. These results should be what you get from your chosen index as well, as a minimum. If your choice under performs the KVS choice more often than not: raise or lower your strike price, till your performance is on par. Or simply trade the exact options KVS chooses: any stock broker can buy and sell OEX options, and no margin is needed. Starting capital of $3000 to $5000 is common.

 

Why does KVS measure its system performance in groups of 11 to 13 signals? It takes 2 weeks, sometimes an extra day or two, to get 11 trading signals. Summarizing results for 2 weeks at a time enables frequent performance comparisons, reflecting the system's ability to be consistently profitable, ranging from highly profitable as periods 5 & 6, to modestly or marginally profitable as periods 7 & 14.

 

What do the headings mean for the 5 columns that track the percent achieved?  Q% = Quick Exits. These were sales within 5 sessions (commonly within 3) at predetermined prices. R% = Relaxed Exits. Slower sales, typically 1 day past quick exits, at the opening. Composite = Q% and R% averaged. This is the key performance measure. Cumulative = Composite results cumulated.  Cum Avge = Cumulative Average. Composite results divided by cumulated signals.

 

Do the results for 10 months suggest a trend?  Yes. Note in the last column that the average exceeded +29% for 4 periods (#6, 9, 10, 11), then eased down into the 20's, ending on an up tick with the current +26%. Since DTE2008 was designed to do particularly well in a recessionary or "Bear Market" environment, the fact that results have moved beyond their peaks indicates that the strong hold of the bear has been weakening. If you prefer to trade call options to puts, to benefit from a rising market and improving economy, you'll find that the daily signal mix will gradually shift more and more to favor call options, and puts will return to their traditional role of capitalizing on downside reactions.

Short Term Market Cycles: New “Bear Phase” Coming; Profits Taken on Previous Recovery

 

These cycles were discovered by KVS in early 2007. They are tracked on the nightly KVS Market Hotline: a second nightly email for DTE2008 subscribers and Auto Traders. This is a bonus in addition to the Loss Bypass Screen.

 

Each short term market cycle consists of three phases:  1. Bear Phase,  2. Turnaround Phase,  3. Recovery Phase.  Next on the agenda is a new Bear Phase. It will be signaled by a 240 point or larger down closing by the Dow (DJI). Might you have to wait quite a while for that?  Not likely. The average interval between Bear Phase signals has been 22 calendar days, and the last such signal occurred on July 28. What came next? The Turnaround Phase followed unusually quickly, the next day. Its entry formula suggested buying at DJI 11265. This was accomplished on August 1, and the Recovery Phase was in force. Its profit taking formula targeted 11681 for a gain of +416 points. Profits are normally in the 400 to 600 points range.

 

On Aug 6 the profit materialized, and an extended recovery followed. We needed to use other KVS market tools to project a goal above 11681. The KVS Market Hotline uses several such tools regularly. It announced that based on our special work with Big 1 Day Changes (DJI 90 points or more at the close),  a further rise into the 11932-11947 range is justified. On Aug 11 this range was reached, with a theoretical high of 11934. Theoretical highs and lows on the Dow are more accurate measures of overbought and oversold extremes than the actual numbers that you see on computer and TV screens all day. Theoretical numbers become available shortly after the close. We get them from the CBOE, which is also our source for option prices.

 

Just two sessions past the 11934 high, the DJI was already back down to 11377, a substantial 557 points. This swift drop was punctuated by single day down closings of -140 and -110 points. That was a total of -250. Are we in a new Bear Phase? No, we did not get a single day down closing of -240 or more negative. So the wait continues. Meanwhile the KVS Market Hotline keeps its users well supplied with market targets in both directions. And for option traders, DTE2008 and Op40 leave little room for inactivity. The balance of this report focuses on Options “40 In 4” (Op40), including a 13^th anniversary Q&A

***********************************************************************

"OPTIONS 40 IN 4"  - 13TH YEAR CONTINUES - LONG TERM WIN RATIO 78%

OPTION BUYER’S ADVANTAGE: ANY KIND OF MARKET IS OK FOR OP40!

***********************************************************************

 

Already in its 13^th year, Options "40 In 4" ("Op40") continues to exceed both its long term goals:  1. A 75% win ratio:  3 of 4 trades producing gains.  2. An average rise of +24% per option, within 4 sessions.  We set the second goal by targeting this sequence for 4 consecutive, representative signals:   +40% ... +40% ... +40% ... and -25% ...  (+120 - 25 = +95,  and  +95/4 = +24).   How goals have been surpassed is shown below and on the next page, summarizing all performance periods to date.  Each period is normally 25 calendar days but may vary slightly with our publication schedule.

 

 

The 78% win ratio (1792 gains/2298 signals) exceeds the 75% goal. Average +33% rise (75960/2298) exceeds the +24% goal.  So results are not skewed by very large rises, we limit them to +100%, and in computing RPS (Rated Performance Score)  we make +80% the max (RPS = 0.5 for every 20%).  The system prevents trades likely to underperform, limiting some periods to  10 trades.  Next pages:  recent record trade by trade.  Anniversary Special!  Order Op40 at the 1996 Charter rate and  receive besides:  3 months toll free voice, or Email  hotline.  Special combo $545. To include “9 to 1 Edge Finder” (see other page) add only $130, total $675.  Hotline is your daily price source and learning aid, with complete price data for the two SP100 options (one call, one put) whose price action produces the exclusive Trading Edge.  Hotline computes the edge as well!

Companion System to “Op40”: “9 to 1 EdgeFinder”:  While the “9 to 1 Edge Finder” (called “9 to 1” for short) has its own trading rules and can be traded as an independent system, it gives relatively few signals, and is most suitable as an enhancer for Op40. When both systems give a trading signal for the same option, consider investing a larger amount than you’d commit typically.  Signals flagged by + (plus sign) qualified for this technique in the 3 periods above, and more on the next pages. In total, the last 6 of 7 performance periods are final, and the 7^th (#168) is previewed, incomplete as we write this.

 

Total “RPS” points for the flagged signals were 8.5, counting Op40 signals alone. Committing 1.5 times the usual capital, to utilize Op40 and “9 to 1” teamwork, increased RPS points to 13.0. Each RPS point represents a 40% to 59% gain. Counting the minimum 40%:  Total Op40 percent result for the flagged signals was +340%. Total from Op40/9 to 1 teamwork for the same signals was +520%.

 

The previous page gives long term results and includes a special offer for the two-system combo. Notice that the difference is modest: $545 for Op40 with 3 months nightly email hotline (comes by 8:30PM ET before each trading day), and $675 including the “9 to 1 Edge Finder” with its own email hotline the same days. The remaining two pages, which complete Rel #957, include additional insights into “9 to 1”, see Q9 of the “Anniversary Q&A”.

Preview of Period #168, into August:   Our next report will begin with period #168 and end with #170. Meanwhile, the bulk of period #168 is already behind us, so we can  give you preliminary statistics now.

 

When period #168 is finished, we expect its results to be very close to this:

 

Number of signals = 16 or 17.  Winning signals = 10 or 11.  Total RPS = 9 to 11.  Total % achieved = +380 to +440.  To learn more about “RPS”, review Q4 thru Q6 and their answers, in the Anniversary Q&A on the final page of Rel #957.

 

Long term win ratio will remain 78%.  Long term average per trade will remain +33%.  Thank you for choosing KVS products.

 

ANNIVERSARY Q&A:  “OP40” IN  ITS 13^TH YEAR!   (KVS Release #957 concludes with this page)

 

Q1: What determines the option choice?  A1: “TE” the Trading Edge. It does double duty. The same time it tells you whether the signaled direction favors a call or a put, it names exactly which call or put. KVS knows from many years of experience that SP100 (OEX) options, that last closed in the 1.50-3.50 range, and expire in the current month with at least 2 weeks left to expiration, are the best candidates for 1 to 4 day trades for 40% profit or more.

 

Q2: Can you go a little further into computing “TE” ? What data does the formula need?  A2: Two options in the price range just mentioned, a call and a put, are handed over every evening to the “TE” formula, for a few price comparisons. Only the day’s open, high, low, and closing prices are used. Percent differences, between certain prices in this “data base” of only 8 prices, are converted by the formula into values normally in the 0 to 10 range. Values are summed separately for the call and the put. The option with the higher sum has the edge. In case of a tie: TE = 0 and there’s no trading signal for next day.

 

 Q3: If I’d rather not compute the TE myself, can I get it already computed, from the hotline?  A3: Yes, you can.  The most liked feature of the hotline, your choice of voice or Email, is that it gives you already determined values and decisions.

 

Q4: The Performance columns, on the signal summary pages, show two values. Do these numbers evaluate the performance of each signal? Are they like a “report card” for the system?  A4: A good name! The left number is the grade that Op40 gets for handling the signal, profitably or not. We call this grade “RPS” (Rated Performance Score): it rates Op40 performance with a   score. The right number “CUMUL” cumulates the individual scores for a full performance period, commonly 4 weeks.

 

Q5: Can you give an example or two for the scoring? A5: For every 20% the option rises, RPS =0.5. For a 40% rise, on up to 59%, RPS = 1. For a 60% rise, on up to 79%, RPS = 1.5. For an 80% or larger rise, RPS = 2. With RPS values included, the signal tracking format not only shows the price advances (and occasional declines), but a  report card  for Op40 as well.

 

Q6: Where do you measure the price rises from?  A6: From the average buy price for the given signal. It is the mid point between the next day’s opening, which is your first opportunity to act, and the day’s low, the best available price.

 

Q7: If I recall right from previous Op40 descriptions: you chose the full name “Options 40 In 4” because the system objective is a 40% or larger gain within 4 sessions?  A7: Yes, exactly. Relatively few gains turn out to be less than 40%, and there’s an occasional loss. Per trade average over the long run has been +33%, see the summary for 168 periods on previous pages.

 

Q8: I see a percent size breakout of the results. Why not show it all in one column?  A8: Most system users like to see how the small, medium, and large returns are distributed, for an easy scan of relative frequency. The “RPS” numbers are all in a single column: multiply by 40, and that’s the percent Op40 gets credit for, not to exceed 80%. That’s the practical limit, because traders seldom try for more, with such quick turnaround, 4 days or less.  We do show rises up to 100%, but RPS =2 is max.

 

Q9: The record shows Op40 doing quite well, and for a long time now. Why use a second system to enhance Op40? A9: The  “9 to 1 Edge Finder” (short name “9 to 1”) started in 2000. It uses the same options as Op40 in its signal logic and buy/sell formulas, but with different emphasis: accept fewer signals, but each with a 90% probability of profit within 3 sessions. Teamwork has been beneficial for both systems, here’s an excerpt from previous summaries for the 5 ways it has worked:

 

There have been 5 ways for teamwork to enhance results:   1. Op40 paused, TE (Trading Edge) was low, but “9 to 1” traded. 2. Op40 had a signal in one direction, “9 to 1” had one in the other direction. To assure sufficient volatility for profit in both directions: “9 to 1” checks how high TE is, and if it’s 7 or above it yields to Op40 without trading its own signal.  3. “9 to 1” bought twice.  4. Op40 loss prevented or offset by“9 to 1”. 5. Both systems chose the same option, suggesting higher $ commitment.

 

Q10: I misplaced the 1996 charter offer. Am I still entitled to it to get your lowest rate?  A10: We’re celebrating the 39^th year for KVS (Key-Volume Strategies) and 13^th year for Op40. You’re welcome to the 1996 charter offer, restored for 15 days. Review the Op40 introduction, which includes the charter offer, on our web site: www.key-volume.com.

You also get nightly hotline for 3 months, your choice of voice or email. Order with credit card for fastest start (Visa, Master Card, American Express), or mail a check.

KVS #955 review

*********************************************************************

"OPTIONS 40 IN 4"  - 13TH YEAR BEGINS -  LONG TERM WIN RATIO 78%

OPTION BUYER’S ADVANTAGE: ANY KIND OF MARKET IS OK FOR OP40!

*********************************************************************

 

Already in its 13^th year, Options "40 In 4" ("Op40") continues to exceed both its long term goals:  1. A 75% win ratio:  3 of 4 trades producing gains.  2. An average rise of +24% per option, within 4 sessions.  We set the second goal by targeting this sequence for 4 consecutive, representative signals:   +40% ... +40% ... +40% ... and -25% ...  (+120 - 25 = +95,  and  +95/4 = +24).   How goals have been surpassed is shown below and on the next page, summarizing all performance periods to date.  Each period is normally 25 calendar days but may vary slightly with our publication schedule.

 

 

The 78% win ratio (1705 gains/2182 signals) exceeds the 75% goal. Average +33% rise (72460/2182) exceeds the +24% goal.  So results are not skewed by very large rises, we limit them to +100%, and in computing RPS (Rated Performance Score)  we make +80% the max (RPS = 0.5 for every 20%).  The system prevents trades likely to underperform, limiting some periods to  10 trades.  Next page:  recent record trade by trade.  Anniversary Special!  Order Op40 at the 1996 Charter rate and  receive besides:  3 months toll free voice, or Email  hotline.  Special combo $545. To include “9 to 1 Edge Finder” (see other page) add only $130, total $675.  Hotline is your daily price source and learning aid, with complete price data for the two SP100 options (one call, one put) whose price action produces the exclusive Trading Edge.  Hotline computes the edge as well!

Anniversary Q & A   Q1: In all your record updates you stress that “Op40” has been the most popular KVS option system, since it started in 1996. What accounts for this?  A1: The main reason has been the accuracy of the plain math that gives you the Trading Edge (“TE”) every day. Scan the TRDG EDGE column of the record (the 4^th column above).  If TE=0, there’s no signal to trade. If TE=5 or above (seldom higher than 10), you trade the current option choice (to the left of TE). If TE is in the 1 to 4 range, additional logic determines whether to trade or not.  Q2: What determines the option choice?  A2: See next page.

 

ANNIVERSARY Q&A:  “OP40” STARTS ITS 13^TH YEAR!  (Continued from previous page)

 

Q2: What determines the option choice?  A2: “TE” the Trading Edge. It does double duty. The same time it tells you whether the signaled direction favors a call or a put, it names exactly which call or put. KVS knows from many years of experience that SP100 (OEX) options, that last closed in the 1.50-3.50 range, and expire in the current month with at least 2 weeks left to expiration, are the best candidates for 1 to 4 day trades for 40% profit or more.

 

Q3: Can you go a little further into computing “TE” ? What data does the formula need?  A3: Two options in the price range just mentioned, a call and a put, are handed over every evening to the “TE” formula, for a few price comparisons. Only the day’s open, high, low, and closing prices are used. Percent differences, between certain prices in this “data base” of only 8 prices, are converted by the formula into values normally in the 0 to 10 range. Values are summed separately for the call and the put. The option with the higher sum has the edge. In case of a tie: TE = 0 and there’s no trading signal for next day.

 

 Q4: If I’d rather not compute the TE myself, can I get it already computed, from the hotline?  A4: Yes, you can.  The most liked feature of the hotline, your choice of voice or Email, is that it gives you already determined values and decisions.

 

Q5: The Performance columns, on the signal summary pages, show two values. Do these numbers evaluate the performance of each signal? Are they like a “report card” for the system?  A5: A good name! The left number is the grade that Op40 gets for handling the signal, profitably or not. We call this grade “RPS” (Rated Performance Score): it rates Op40 performance with a   score. The right number “CUMUL” cumulates the individual scores for a full performance period, commonly 4 weeks.

 

Q6: Can you give an example or two for the scoring? A6: For every 20% the option rises, RPS =0.5. For a 40% rise, on up to 59%, RPS = 1. For a 60% rise, on up to 79%, RPS = 1.5. For an 80% or larger rise, RPS = 2. With RPS values included, the signal tracking format not only shows the price advances (and occasional declines), but a  report card  for Op40 as well.

 

Q7: Where do you measure the price rises from?  A7: From the average buy price for the given signal. It is the mid point between the next day’s opening, which is your first opportunity to act, and the day’s low, the best available price.

 

Q8: If I recall right from previous Op40 descriptions: you chose the full name “Options 40 In 4” because the system objective is a 40% or larger gain within 4 sessions?  A8: Yes, exactly. Relatively few gains turn out to be less than 40%, and there’s an occasional loss. Per trade average over the long run has been +33%, see the summary for 158 periods on a previous page.

 

Q9: I see a percent size breakout of the results. Why not show it all in one column?  A9: Most system users like to see how the small, medium, and large returns are distributed, for an easy scan of relative frequency. The “RPS” numbers are all in a single column: multiply by 40, and that’s the percent Op40 gets credit for, not to exceed 80%. That’s the practical limit, because traders seldom try for more, with such quick turnaround, 4 days or less.  We do show rises up to 100%, but RPS =2 is max.

 

Q10: The record shows Op40 doing quite well, and for a long time now. Why use a second system to enhance Op40? A10: The “9 to 1 Edge Finder” (short name “9 to 1”) started in 2000. It uses the same options as Op40 in its signal logic and buy/sell formulas, but with different emphasis: accept fewer signals, but each with a 90% probability of profit within 3 sessions. Teamwork has been beneficial for both systems, here’s an excerpt from previous summaries for the 5 ways it has worked:

 

There have been 5 ways for teamwork to enhance results:   1. Op40 paused, TE (Trading Edge) was low, but “9 to 1” traded. 2. Op40 had a signal in one direction, “9 to 1” had one in the other direction. To assure sufficient volatility for profit in both directions: “9 to 1” checks how high TE is, and if it’s 7 or above it yields to Op40 without trading its own signal.  3. “9 to 1” bought twice.  4. Op40 loss prevented or offset by“9 to 1”. 5. Both systems chose the same option, suggesting higher $ commitment.

 

Q11: I misplaced the 1996 charter offer. Am I still entitled to it to get your lowest rate?  A11: We’re celebrating the start of the 39^th year for KVS (Key-Volume Strategies) and 13^th year for Op40.
