October was a somewhat better month than September for the Breakouts and Reversals model portfolio. Modest gains (+1.6%) were achieved through short term positions in tech and ETFs.
Outperformance of the benchmark was also achieved by virtue of the S&P Index’s decline (-2.0%) in a generally quiet month for equities. I expect the US presidential election result to provide volatility to the equities markets as the race is close.
