About this strategy



Trend plays #1 is not a "get rich quick" system. Most of these systems do not work and the ones that do are very high risk.

Trend plays #1 buys stocks that are undervalued. We are contrarian investors. We buy the stocks that others have unloaded to such a degree that they are now in great value. We try to catch the stocks that the herd oversold to put them in great value.

Technical anaylisis is used to determine the entry and exit of all trades. Strict trading rules are in place for every trade.

We are trying to catch stocks that have been derailed from their long term trend. We are trying to buy the stocks before they get back on track of their long term trend, thus the name trend plays.

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.
