About this strategy

Welcome! Our proven EOD long-term system capitalizes on uptrends and downtrends. This trend following ETF system trades Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull/Bear 3X Shares (TNA and TZA).

All 100% mechanical (long-only) trades placed before 9:30 am EST to be executed at the US Stock Market open. Appropriate leverage (5.0X max) ALWAYS used.

Investors Business Daily or IBD provides extensive research for institutional clients. Historically, every market uptrend has been "confirmed" with a follow-through day. Conversely, a multiple distribution day stack can point to a market correction.

This system is designed to profit from IBD's market shift calls as outlined in the newspaper's "The Big Picture". Other proprietary measures are used that have been back-tested for over 5 years at Collective2.

Capital preservation is the top priority. The system is developed to greatly out-perform stocks for the long-term, while keeping loss periods contained.

Thank you for considering Small Cap (5X) Timer!

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.
