About this strategy

Welcome to MFS-Cyclical Model System:

Average Duration of Winning Trade: 2 weeks
Average Duration of Losing Trade: 5 days

By popular request we will not offer our daily updated market and cycle publication to all subscribers each night and our weekly newsletter for ALL subscribers to the MFS-CyclicalModel.

ALL subscribers that would like to receive this simply send us a request through the collective 2 system and put the e-mail address you want it sent to-
Opt out just send us an e-mail requesting to stop

The daily market updates go out at about 10:30pm est and has ALL orders in it for the next day
Collective2 model uses a factor of 0.7 for position sizes

The first part is all the background on the watch-list- each symbol and the cycle they are in- no need to read but we give all the background to each symbol-
http://www.mutualfundsystem.com/membersonly/daily/MFS-CyclicalModel-07-28-2011.pdf

On page 49 it shows all current positions
then all closed orders for the day
and then all current orders

ALL are set the night before and the model is left alone during the day
NO day trading
NO sitting at computer during the day

The symbol along with position size, Stop-loss and target will be given prior to the position being open. This way any subscriber will be able to determine the risk the system will have on any particular position once open. All updated Stop-Losses and Targets will be posted prior to 6am est the majority of the time. It is not essential to AutoTrade this system. The current system takes both Long and Short positions. The win/loss ratio is better on long positions only. We do not strive for a high win/loss ratio. If the subscriber wants a high win/loss ratio then this system is not for them. If the subscriber is interested in Higher than normal returns, with lower than normal System Draw Downs along with higher than normal Sharpe Ratio then this system is for them. We try to keep the ratio between annret / mdd as high as possible. We would suggest that anyone looking for a good system to use for trading to take a little time and calculate this for themselves in order to rank systems. This number gives one how much risk they are going to be taking compared to the amount of return the system has had. The higher this number the the better. It shows the system has a higher return with less risk involved

Cyclic theory (at least the aspect of cyclic theory that Thinking Trading Software uses, as defined initially by JM Hurst) is based on the idea that stock market price movements are the result of the complex combinations of many different cycles. They differ in amplitude (in other words how much price movement they cause), and also in period (how long between each cycle trough - also called wavelength, or the inverse of frequency). One of the differences between JM Hurst

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.
