About this strategy

(NOTE – TEMPORARY SUSPENSION ENDED - Expect signals at least weekly, if not more)

Approximately 70% of all equity and sector movement dictates the motion and direction of individual equities, narrower sectors, ETFs., etc. This system uses a broader combination of proprietary factors, daily, weekly and monthly short-medium-long term support/resistance boundaries, moving averages, short-to-medium term sentiment indicators, broad fundamentals, including price/earnings ratios, and long term pivot indicators. In addition, technical measurement with respect to specific historical and cyclical references are appropriately applied. To moderate risk, a goal of 80% or more the entire portfolio should remain in cash at all times. I am aiming for single and doubles, not home runs. The average of winning trades are 'diluted' into the much larger cash account. Even rare, large losers will be 3% of the total account or less. Strict, rule-based limitations are imposed against overexposure to the possibility of adverse market conditions. In addition to S&P related signals, signals for gold/silver index, silver, crude oil, euro, 20-year bond and selected foreign markets are available when appropriate opportunities appear. Due to administrative and communications responsibilities, subscribers are limited to an unpublished maximum number of responses for a given period. After-hours requests should expect responses next day.

"There are as many ways to find success as a swing trader as there are window ledges on Wall Street." - Jon Markman

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
