About this strategy

OLD AND RESPECTED SYSTEM.

Signals are issued after market hours- EASY TO TRADE

My goal is to achieve 35% annualized return consistently while limiting risk. (S&P500 max drawdown 41%, vs. Bottoms up of 18%!!! )

Generally look for 7-13% gain on average trade, if gain doesnt pan out, will close out position between 2 and 4 weeks. Up to 12-15 open positions at any time (with each position averaging between 5-8% of total portfolio- CONSERVATIVE SYSTEM) Targets and stop losses are set with most signals. Average trade length is 2 weeks.

Limit orders are placed above market price to avoid slippage- its basically a market order, but allows the C2 results to mimic real life.
For the most part I usually try to exit the trade within a few days to a couple of weeks. I am available for any further questions and also make myself available for emailing.

As of April 1, 2006, went to an EOD(after market close) signals.

---As of 2/1/2007 the system will no longer trade Options in the system. If when I am sending the signals, and you are interested in buying an option on the underlying security, email me and I will be more than happy to advise. I only did 4 options trades up to this point, and want to target my system to "stock" traders, since I was getting 99% of all my profits from stocks anyways. If you are interested in my options trading service, click on my other system-spy options.

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.
