About this strategy

The system is a composite of signals developed between 2004 and 2007. There are five signals that are equally weighted in determining the signal direction and market exposure. The degree of consensus determines the exposure. If all agree a 100% position will be taken in the determined long or short direction. If there is some disagreement a portion of balance will be in cash.

The various signals differ in their opportunity analysis providing diversification in analysis and outcomes. The signals used to determine the overarching position are subject to change by Scarecrow Trading.

Restrictions: Scarecrow Trading offers this signal to individual investors only. It is not to be used for money management by registered firms. If an individual wishes a firm to manage their funds with this signal an individual subscription is required. Advisors seeking other use of this signal for managing client funds may contact me directly to discuss contract terms.

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.
