Will your service be of value for someone who can only place trades at the start of the day and won't be able to actively trade the live market? <br /><br /><br />Thanks<br />DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-70224055005550476652010-11-19T20:50:44.135-07:002010-11-19T20:50:44.135-07:00Allan, for a subscriber with a 10K portfolio, it w...Allan, for a subscriber with a 10K portfolio, it will take a 12% return just to pay for the subscription ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-36514537107861227142010-11-19T12:27:54.114-07:002010-11-19T12:27:54.114-07:00side note / off topic

As the price escalated in price by 15% by 11/15/10, entered a sell order with a 4% trailing stop. Stopped out on the 16th with a 10% return in one month.<br /><br /> Don't get greedy. 10% is a great return.

One thing I note is that if you use Ultra (2X or 3X) ETF's, you must use them in both directions.skyprincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02505088937518309715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-84169536985239627872010-11-18T11:44:57.122-07:002010-11-18T11:44:57.122-07:00I'm surprised no one has seen and commented on...I'm surprised no one has seen and commented on this yet. Based on those numbers and 3-month ATM calls/puts, you would have seen a 100% gain at some point after each signal. Forget trends, just take the 100% trade and stand aside and wait for the next one. Beats the 16% annual return, even if doubled or tripled with a leverage ETF. Looks like a fine little system you've got there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-14863681192613024632010-11-18T10:45:40.163-07:002010-11-18T10:45:40.163-07:00What I notice is that every signal has been succes...What I notice is that every signal has been successful. All long signals have lead to higher highs; all short signals have lead to lower lows. All early bounces following each signal have been reversed. So if the pattern continues, and it does not have to, the 1173 lows should be taken out before the next long signal. As for the draw downs leading into the next signal, maybe other technical patterns have to be considered in taking partial profits, or maybe leveraged instruments should be played short term following any early bounces. It would be interesting to see how these net results changed when also trading the hourly and 240 minute signals alongside the dailies.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316820368482661084noreply@blogger.com
