QLD Mean Reversion Model goes Long....04.25.18

Once again we used our fixed stop cross from green to red to exit our QLD long position.  What was unique about today's trade was that it fired within the first 3 minutes of the market open.  In early trading the limit stop was hit and exceeded but we were out at that point with no worries. 
QLD did rally in the afternoon session and it looked like we had missed a nice green day but then it faded into the close with only a net .3% gain for the day.
Market is up big afterhours....QLD up 1.25%....so tomorrow may be rally day but then Friday is just around the corner with red odds improving.
I've mentioned this before but its interesting that the performance metrics of the VIXEN and MR models are so close given that the momentum algorithms generating the signals are diametrically opposed.  MR also has better linearity.
