Today was another down day for the hypothetical portfolio. The markets seem to be uncertain how to interpret the Fed rate hike that seems imminent. At the same time, theĀ Atlanta Fed forecast is less than rosy, given the expected Fed rate hike. The best I can do is look back at the system’s track record, the diverse portfolio, and the money management and prepare mentally to weather any downturn. Trend-following systems never capture the whole movement in the market. They certainly don’t try to pick market tops or bottoms, either. If you have the discipline to stick to them, they can be profitable.

Today the hypothetical system was stopped out of the Sugar position. There were no new entry signals.
