UNIVERSAL SIGNAL FOR ETFs, QQQQ, GOLD
and WORLDWIDE
STOCKS TRADING
I am not a professional money manager or a stock broker. I am just a regular guy who got lucky by
'accidentally' finding a stock market system that
seems to work
like a clockwork regardless of the market conditions.
I have been investing (with varying success) for the past 15 years. I have subscribed to many
stock picking newsletters out there just like most investors have done, and after spending thousands of
dollars on them I have been
disappointed by most of them. Some of them have been
profitable, but with most of them there is always something
that makes them too risky, unpractical or difficult to implement in real
life. That is why I wanted to develop my own system that is easy to use, as risk free as possible and still
profitable; a good system for a lazy man :-)
Actually I am not lazy, but I don't want to spend my time glued to a
computer screen and worrying about my savings.
I
have a great passion to be as free and independent as possible,
and also to be able to travel and do the things I truly want to
do. So in order to
be able to do that I have
been developing and refining my own trading system that would give me reasonable returns
with little risk and stress. I got lucky and 'cracked the code'
and now my system enables me
to combine my passions; travel, writing, investing and helping people. My system
has been surprisingly profitable even though I would be happy with a lot smaller
returns too. My system/technical
analysis (TA) is based on a set of indicators and an
internet based trading software. It is 90% mechanical. I use
slightly different indicators for PM stocks and for my long term
system. It's designed so that by default it will
protect us from huge losses. Every system creates
some whipsaw losses and so does my system too.
My signal is based on Nasdaq. QQQQ is
an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) that has the 100 largest Nasdaq
companies in it. The QQQQ is my main trading vehicle and that's
why I refer to it constantly. QLD and QID are so called ultra
ETFs funds that based on QQQQ and I also trade them simply
because they match QQQQ very well.
My
old system seemed to work better in bull market conditions, so I
have refined my system to fit better to the bear market.
If I have learned anything that is that; no system will work all
the time and we must always stay on top of things and be ready
to change our way of trading. My system is great
because it is flexible and can be changed really fast if and
when the markets change.
The
new system would have produced the following back tested trades
2008 with a profit/loss if you traded QQQQ long and short
according to these signals:
Sell:
12.12.07
Buy: 24.2.08 + 13.4%
Sell: 10.6.08 + 8.9%
Buy: 5.8.08 + 5.4%
Sell: 2.9.08 -1%
Buy: 12.9.08 + 34.8%
This
is not too bad and I feel very confident that I can produce like
results 2009 too. The only thing that can ruin these results is
months and months of whip saw action, but that would ruin
everybody’s game. Now during bear market it's very critical that you
also short or trade reverse ETFs.
My system in all its simplicity; if a
stock, EFT, fund or an index follows Nasdaq and or QQQQ closely
it can be traded with my system. On the 'What to Trade'
page there are many ETFs and stocks that you can check whether they
currently follow QQQQ.
One of the most important
benefits my stock system can give you is a peace of mind.
Stock trading can be very nerve-wracking and as an old saying so
eloquently puts it: “Trading doesn’t take a good head, but a
stomach”. It’s very difficult to sleep well if you are
constantly worried about your investments.
That is why having
a system that will protect your principal is utmost important.
You will sleep well and can be stress free if you know that your
capital is safe. My system is designed so that you will only
have small losses that are a part of trading. (No system can
guard against a sudden market drop in case of a terrorist act or
some other catastrophe.)
How
I discovered this system? One day after spending
many hours on the net back testing different scripts I got frustrated and
just pretty much randomly clicked some indicators and values and hit back
test button and voila… the results were pretty good. By now I have refined this system
for several years and now it's finally ready for You too.
All
in all I try to keep my system as simple and stress free as possible. I
don't trade during the day because even if my system creates a
signal during the day it can reverse by the close. The close is
always much more final sentiment of what the smart money
is feeling at any given day.
I run my script after the market close
and if warranted I place a market sell or buy order for the next day's open. This
way I don't have to constantly worry about the markets.
Believe me;
worrying about the markets can drain you energy and even affect your heath. If
you worry about every penny by doing limit orders and waiting all day long to
place an order; yes you may make few extra dollars, but also you may lose
some because one never knows how the market is going to behave any
particular day. Especially if you are an novice trader you are far better off by placing market orders. The results will often even out at the
end anyway.
And if nothing else, you will have less to worry about, and that alone is
worth a lot of money, isn’t it?
The
beauty of my signal is that even though it tracks mainly Nasdaq it seems to work universally in many
different markets, ETFs, funds and even many individual stocks.
If you are more accomplished trader go to the results page and compare/back test your
favorite trading vehicle against the signal dates. Bear in mind that of course it can not
work with every single stock in the world.
Also the
signal
is great because novice traders can safely trade QQQQ
with it, and more accomplished traders can trade more
complicated investment vehicles with it. Once you subscribe to my letter I will provide you
with easy to follow Lazy man's portfolio. This portfolio is great for beginners!
Or you can create your own portfolio from the symbol list on
'What to Trade' page.
So far my new system has
produced a signal on average once every two to three months so it
could be called (long term) swing trading system. So you
don't have to be trading in and out the market all the time.
Actually I think that this is pretty close to a ideal
trading time frame. I am not a lazy person, but I would
rather be writing books on emotional wealth or reading one at the
beach than worry about stock markets every day. Life is way too
short to spend it doing things you don't like; I like stocks and
making money, but I don't like worrying about stocks or
money.
Stock market is just about the best and the only way to make
money while sitting in an internet coffee shop on a tropical
island. If you have some savings, good
trading system and are willing to learn, you may too be
able to do what you really desire not too far in the future, or
you can make more money for your retirement.
Now
that I got stared to talk about the good life... I
can not emphasize this enough; you must start putting your financial
situation together if you want to enjoy your life. If your financial
situation is in shambles
it's very difficult to be happy or content with yourself or your
life in today's materialistic world. I am not saying that one can not be happy
without money, but it takes a special person to be content
penniless or while deeply in dept. A huge dept can run and
ruin your life. It can create stress and a lot of sleepless
nights. Keeping up with the Jones, which is the MAIN reason why
90% of us buy to expensive cars, boats and houses is not worth
it.
I want my service to be more that just an investment letter. I want
to help you to grow to be financially and emotionally secure. If you already
are emotionally and financially secure, my congratulations to you. In that
case you must already know that the real wealth is so much more
than just having dollars in your bank account or a big house.
