Here you go - XIV Buy and Hold is in red. Period is 1/1/2013 through 11/1/2017.
Like I said, it is very hard to beat a simple buy and hold on XIV in terms of ROI, but this system does almost as well with a much smoother equity curve and high Sharpe Ratio.

Kevin, it appears you are using a volatility stop. I don't know if that is determining the entry
but they look like they could be. I use an atr(10) * 1.5. That line looks somewhat akin to
that line on the chart. Excellent work!

XIV....looking at this chart last night it still it looks "sick", money was leaving and confirms why I'm shorting.

My NN system gave me 3 sell signals (2 for trades I was in until yesterday) and the SS multisystem gave 1 SELL and 1 new BUY. Having no current position in play I will trade the BUY signal as new - not that they cancel each other out like what would be the case if I still had open positions.
Limit order in place for 1000 shares of XIV at 108.00. Contango is still at 11% even with today's action, and the roll yield is 4.5% with only four days left until expiration.

I'm looking at $106.92 for a long position or VIX closer to 11.29...will wait and see.
