INDEX TRADING SYSTEM PAST TRADES

Below is the results of a sample portfolio started with $10,000. The portfolio uses the MAJOR TREND INICATOR to determine when to switch from BULLISH to BEARISH settings (or vice versa). Our MARKET TIMING INDICATOR is used to determine "when" the markets will rise, and when they will fall. To monetize this info, the portfolio uses TNA for the upside, and TZA for the downside.

  • DATE displays the date the MTI (Market Timing Indicator) first alerted to a change in the markets. Alerts are released after the markets close.
  • TRADE: displays ETF used and details of the trade. Price is what the ETF closed at when alert is released
  • PORTFOLIO column has a running total of the portfolio's balance
NOTE:
Prices displayed are pre-split prices so you can easily verify on any financial site. In actuality, prices for TZA in the earlier years (before all the splits occured) where much less.
