Quick update in case anyone still ponders the DI system... they're 23-7-4 since mid Sept 2009 when the system was supposedly tweaked, and since the earlier 2009 drawdown they had. I don't know how many net points that equates to, but it's very favorable. Check the Mirus track record page and...

Update: Dow Indicator is 17-4-3 since about mid Sept 2009. I'd lost track of this as the trade assist allows us to participate w/out making the actual trades. But that's an excellent record over the last 5 months! Six wins in a row, as of today. Nice recoup from the drawdown in 2009. The...

Dow Indicator is 8-2-2, with a net profit of somewhere around $2300 (depends on which instrument you use), by my count since the system tweaks were implemented around mid September.

UPDATE: Since mid September, after a few smart system tweaks (in my opinion), Dow Indicator's trading record is 7-1-1 with a net profit of around $2000 on one S&P emini contract. FYI, they are also going to allow self/discretionary trading via their signals again. They announced that over the...

I take back my last post. haha So far on the revisions, the total $ lost is still equal to or greater than the total $ won. Only time will tell with this thing; not doing so well in 2009.

Another Update: Looks like they may have regained their footing a bit, after adjusting to use a bit of a lower risk approach. Smaller targets, quicker trades, to better navigate this wacky news-driven unpredictable market. I think they've won 6 of the last 10 trades, or something like that...

Update: In the vein of objectivity... here's a quick update. As of this moment, DI is negative on the year for 2009 (4 months). Up nicely over the last 16 months, but negative over the last 4 months. The system is not handling this irrational unique market (never before seen conditions?) very...

Dr Jones, I will have to disagree. But you should look into it yourself, because I'm not 100% sure and am not an expert on such things. I believe that the Mirus Letter of Direction covers the necessary bases and the DI disclaimer covers their butts on the website. It's not as if DI forces...

I think Alexadev is correct, but I'm not a lawyer. The Mirus Letter of Direction covers the necessary legal bases, I believe. As far as risk, though, in that nobody else gets the signals in real time... I'm fine with that, since even IF someone does scalp some profits on the large block orders...

Encantador, It's on their website - $15K. It used to be $10K, but the NFA noticeably increased the initial margin requirement on futures contracts (last fall).

DI Changes - Member Comment DrJones... I think you may be off base. I understand your viewpoint, but I've actually done better since switching to the trade-assist method. The reason they had to make the change is because they discovered some unethical people (no surprise there) were...

Alexadav, Thanks for the reply. I agree with what you said... they seem to have stuck to their same entry criteria for the most part, while adapting for more aggressive trade management re: exits during the crazy volatility as of late in order to protect profits. When volatility goes back...

12-Month DI Member Speaks... Hello all. I just browsed some of the posts about the DI system. I saw some of the same concerns and fears which I had going into the system, and for quite some time aftewards. However, I've completed 12 months in the system... did not miss any entries, and my...
