What happened October 15, 1998? The S&P opened at 1007.00 and shot up over 20 full points before noon.
If you had bought the open as RPM recommended, you should have held until the
close at 1064.00 for a profit of a whopping $28,250. We specify profits per 2 contracts
since the split of the S&P contract in November 1997 and as per 1 contract before that
time to be consistent with previous results. Since slippage and commissions vary from
person to person, they are not included.
DAY TRADING involves high risks and YOU can LOSE a lot of money.
Understanding the RPM printout:
Monitor the opening price of the day session. Take note of the 3 or 4 "If the open is
..." statements.
Place a check mark by the scenario that occurs. Use the buy and sell recommendations
that are at the bottom of each scenario. The additional information provided is not needed
if you simply want to follow the RPM system.
The numbers in parenthesis are the number of matches to the RPM paradigm found. If you
are an active daytrader, you may wish to use the percentages as an aid in making
additional trading decisions. Further information on this is included in the RPM trading
manual.
Please note that if you are checking a past trade that the Wall Street Journal quotes the
globex open. We do not trade globex. You must use the open of the day session for accurate
records.

Since they are different for everybody and there is only one trade a day, these figures do
not include slippage and commission. However, because RPM is not a breakout system, we do
not get the amount of slippage normally experienced by those systems.
All trades should be considered hypothetical.
DAY TRADING involves high risks and YOU can LOSE a lot of money.
