About this strategy













How the Signals are created:

This is a system which is built around three distinct and highly complex forecasting models.

The first model is called the (PFM) "Price Forecasting Model" which predicts pockets of strength and weakness within certain hourly time blocks. This model researches and computes thousands of data points consisting of several months of historical data. (This model shares similarities to that of a hurricane forecasting model, its job is to determine the direction and speed of the price action. It looks for specific time periods that are most predictable, which is when the momentum is the strongest.)

Once these significant "time blocks" are identified the second model called the (TM) "Trading Model" then crunches several hundred price factors to identify the most optimal price target and stop loss levels based on the (PFM

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.
