About this strategy

This is a trend following strategy based on technical analysis and indicators. We trade only very liquid ETFs and there should be very low slippage problems. System can be traded manually. Most signals will be generated within the last 1 hour before markets close (3 pm-4 pm EST)
Strategy is fully compatible with IRA. Long positions are entered via long ETFs or long Call options. Short positions are opened via inverse ETFs or long Put options. Strategy was designed to work during all types of markets bull/bear/sideways.
We personally trade this strategy in our own IRA accounts but cannot obtain TOS because we have a different brokerage. Disciplined position sizing and strict risk management (stop loss, profit targets) are always in place. To avoid risk and over-leverage, at least 50% of the portfolio will always be in cash.
This strategy can be replicated with an account size of as small as $20k. 2-3 Trades per week should be expected. However, please note that C2 puts second/third entries to the same position as 1 trade so trade number may seem vary. Check autotrade data for accurate trade history.
The objective of the strategy is to get 2%-3% average monthly portfolio growth with minimal risk and drawdown, but, as always, this is a hypothetical goal and nothing can be guaranteed.

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.
