SSO and BGU 34 minute systems exit long entries

First losing trade in a long time. Down around $6,000 for $200,000 or so in positions. I have built a method to filter entries such as this to require higher tolerances for triggers especially after many winning trades in a row such as these systems have had. Additionally, the functionality should reduce dollar allocation as well. That technology is not implemented in the trades indicated.

One other thing to note is that, I reduce allocation to trading intermediate-term/intraday systems when there is a turn going on or conflict internally with the models agreeing on direction. I prefer trading the swing systems until the situation clears up.
