STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the short side today at SPX 2776 but already wants to whipsaw back. The bulls and bears are battling. The algo wants to flip back to the long side but the internal parameters will not permit that move and instead Keybot remains short.

The last trade, which was very long by Keybot's standards at 6 weeks, results in a +5% gain for the Keybot computer program and +10% gain for the actual trading. On the year, the S&P 500 benchmark index is up nearly +11%. The Keybot algorithm program is up +5% and the actual trading triggered by the algo is up a little over +9% this year thus far. For the actual trading, the algo exited SSO and entered SDS.
