U.S. Funds for 2010 Trading
Trade the Market Trend Trading System, which produces 100% mechanical signals.
Follow the Editor's recommendations for a more conservative approach to trading our signals, including taking profit during the trade based on short term technical and fundamental analysis to smooth out returns and control risk.
The following returns reflect the recommended 5% stop loss for U.S. funds. A stop loss has the advantage of being available to use in all types of accounts. Returns prior to 2007 used a variable stop loss. Margin stop loss is adjusted to the percent of margin used. We like using a stop loss because it is simple to implement, however, as an alternative we also provide hedging guidelines. Hedged returns and returns without stops are published in the newsletter on the website.
Hedging provides more flexibility compared to using a stop loss, however, hedging can not be used for all types of accounts. We will teach you how to hedge, which can give your trade more time to be correct.
With our smart hedging strategy you can eliminate drawdowns and predetermine your maximum loss before you place your trade. Hedging or buying insurance against a loss allows you to trade using your own risk profile.
The best returns come from following our proven balanced portfolios offering further protection against single trade losses and drawdowns, while maximizing returns.
