About this strategy

I have a multi faceted approach to stocks. From a "top down" perspective I try to determine the direction of the indexes. If I am bullish on stocks in general than my I will have far more long positions than short positions and vice versa when I am bearish.

My stock picking is firstly based on technical analyis but I also use some fundemental research to try and increase the chances that I will be right. For instance, if I am bearish on oil I will look for oil stocks that have bearish charts but that also have deeply indebted balance sheets that make it so the company may not survive if the price of the commodity goes down significantly. This is an example of how utilize some fundemental methods to overlay my technical analysis.

2012 was my first down year. As can be seen I experienced a large drawdown during the year. This was the result of me completely changing my stock system based on reading the book "The Logical Trader: Applying a Method to the Madness." Basically I began trading using some -but not all- components of the ACD system advocated in that book. The results speak for themselves. I was stopped out with small loss after small loss and ended up losing a bunch of money and all of my subscribers.
In the end I Iost 6% for the year after a nice recovery once I got back to trading the way I used to. If it wasn't for my misadventure with the ACD system I would have been up for the year and my largest drawdown in the system's history would have been 11%.

I still think the best way to make a lot of money in a short period of time is to short sell small cap stocks with sky high valuations that have reached what I call "nosebleed" levels of overboughtness. These opportunities are few and far between in this mature bull market but these are still what I look for on a daily basis. These type of opportunites were much more frequent in 2009 and 2010 and they explain my quick doubling of equity at the beginning of my trading history.

With a new name for the system to start the new year I urge everyone to give me a try. The flexibility of my approach allows for the opportunity to make money in all kinds of macro market conditions. The best broker to use with my system is IB because they tend to have the largest inventory of small cap equities available to short.

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.
