How will I be notified of a signal change?
After you subscribe, it is up to each subscriber to check the website each evening for changes to our signals. If a signal change is noted, trades should be entered for the close of trading the following day.
How are the trading signals determined?
All of the trading models are purely mechanical. Our models are calculated each trading day after market trading closes in New York. The models are computed to determine where the market is headed, depending on the system used. .
 What do I do when a new signal is issued?
The day following a signal change, we recommend you place your orders for the market close for ETF and mutual fund investors. It is our experience that you should enter the trade as soon as possible. If you postpone the trade waiting for a better entry point, or are nervouse that the signal is incorrect, often you will find yourself missing a portion or all the move. Human nature will question the signals at every opportunity. Your decision will not get any easier by procrastinating, and the longer you wait, the less likely you are to achieve system results and to succeed in your wealth building efforts.
What if I subscribe and you are in the middle of a trade? Should i go ahead and invest or wait for the next signal to be issued?
There is really no clear answer with this one but here is our advice. If you subscribe, and find us in the middle of a buy or sell signal, consider if the trade is showing a profit or loss. If the trade is currently showing a profit, we would advise that you wait for the next signal for the simple reason, by the time you enter, it could be the top or bottom of the market cycle and you could end up with a loss starting out which we both don't want to happen. If the trade is showing a loss, then you might consider going ahead and entering, as you will have a better price than the system. Also, if you did want to enter a profitable signal and not wait, you could consider putting only a portion of the money you were planning on investing in the market. This way, if the market continues to go in the direction of the signal, you will be partially invested. If it doesn't, you still have money on the sidelines. It is up to each individual to decide what is best.
Do your performance numbers include margin trading and commissions?
No, the numbers do not include anything. The percentages and point profit/loss are not margined, and do not include commission charges.
Do you use stop-loss orders?
Stop loss orders are not used on the systems.
Is this trading system risky?
Stock investing is always risky and not suitable for all investors. Please read our full risk disclosure statement.
Can market timing really be done?
Many "so called" experts will tell you that market timing can not be done consistently, We would beg to differ with them.
Many investors can not time the market because their decisions are based upon emotion and a lack of discipline. The market makes investors follow the crowd and buy when they should be selling, and selling when they should be buying. We think that with a proven 100% mechanical system and the discipline to follow it over time will help remove the emotions from the investing process.
What is Short Selling?
Short selling is the opposite of "going long" or buying a stock. An investor borrows shares of stock from a broker and sells them. He is said to have a short position in that stock. The shares come from the broker's own inventory or from another customer. When the stock is sold the proceeds are credited to the investor's account. In order to make a profit the short seller hopes the price of that stock will go down so that the shares owed the broker can be replaced at a lower cost. The open position is closed at some point in the future by purchasing shares and returning them to the broker. This is called short covering. The profit on the transaction is the price at which the stock was initially sold minus the price paid for the replacement shares, minus any fees, interest and dividends. Of course, if the price of the stock went up between short and cover, you'll have a net loss.
As with most things there are costs, restrictions and risks. The costs are mostly in the form of broker fees and interest but you will also be responsible for dividends if any are paid while you are short the stock. Since you borrow the shares, you are buying on margin and you will need to open a margin account to short stocks. You will be charged interest on the loan and you are subject to the rules of margin trading. There are many restrictions on the price and type of stocks you can and cannot short, as well as SEC regulations such as the uptick rule which prevents short selling unless the previous trade was at the same or higher price. These rules are designed to protect stocks in declining markets. The risks are mostly related to margin issues and how much can theoretically be lost on a trade. When you buy a stock outright, the maximum you stand to lose is the amount you paid for it, if it went to $0. In a short sale, since there is no real limit to how high the price of a stock could go, your potential losses are infinite. Another risk is to be "called away" at a price you don't like. Normally you can hold a short as long as you want but you can be forced to cover if the broker wants back the stock you borrowed; this is known as being "called away". This does not happen very often but is possible.
One way to simplify this and side-step many of these issues, and circumvent the no shorting in retirement accounts rule, is to instead use one of the numerous mutual funds that seek to achieve the same results - for more details see What to trade?
