About this strategy

The system may also be traded with QQQQ ETF [QQQ currently] or its options. All orders will be market ones at market open. The signals will be delivered well beforehand. The system operates around 3 times monthly and has been properly backtested over a 10-year period (since 1999). It has also been "paper-traded" during the last 12 months with consistent results. These are its main parameters (with QQQQ):

-Percent profitable: 79.05%
-Profit factor: 3.51
-Compounded annual return: 50.32%

These results are achieved by reinvesting benefits in every trade. One of the possible inconveniences of the system is a high standard deviation of annual returns: it performs much better with high volatility, although yields positive results every single year.

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.
