Hi,

Thought I'd throw this out there for anyone that's interested. We use proprietary algorithms that predict S&P500 market direction within the next 5-days. I can't post how we do it, just the direction. But since 1997 it has generated over 2,100 trades with 80%+ of those accurate.

How it Works:

Each trade is using SPY (S&P500 Index tracking ETF);
We apportion 20% of an account to each trade;
Direction is only given when there is a high probability;
There is a maximum of 1 trade a day;
Depending on schedule, I will post 30mins BEFORE the US market Open;
Entry is always at the NEXT OPEN;
Take profits at the first Close > Entry (official open print, can be same day);
We use {entry} +/-0.01 Limit on Close (LOC);
Orders only at market Open and market Close. No trades in between;
If a trade is not Exited profitably within 5-days, it is Exited at that Close:
-e.g. Enter Mon OP, if no profitable Close Mon-Fri, then MUST Exit Fri CL;
If more than one trade held, they are always in the same direction:
-e.g. if Long to Short then ALL Long positions must Exit at next Open;
Each trade is independent, so we may Exit one in profit & still hold another;

I will keep answering of questions to a minimum. You can watch and most will become evident. Just as everything, you should judge by results only and not words. This information is provided Free and any use is at your own risk. If you have any doubts, do not use it. None of this should be construed as advice, you know your own circumstances. Thanks.
 
Entry Friday was SHORT at Open = 158.68

Friday Close = 158.80

COVER Limit on Close was set for 158.67 so order was not filled.
(this is the minimum, if the Close is lower then the profit is more)

We now keep the 158.67 LOC exit order running until maximum next Thursday Close
 
We are Short from Friday. There are no further trades today (Monday).

Mon: NO TRADE
Fri: Currently Short. Looking for a Close below 158.67 by Thursday to Exit.
 
As detailed above:

Short from Friday's Open @ 158.68

Covered on Today's Close @ 155.12

Profit +3.56

(order was LOC, so Covers on first Close below the 158.67 Limit)

At -2.30%, today was the biggest drop of the year for the S&P500
 
Very tight schedule today, so posting this early.

There is a Long trade for today's Open:

Tues: LONG
Mon: No Trade
Fri: Short Entry @ 158.68. Exited Profitably Mon CL @ 155.12
 
As detailed above. Results:

Long from Today's Open @ 156.29

Sold on Today's Close @ 157.41

Profit +1.12

(order was LOC, so Sells on first Close above the 156.30 Limit)
(156.30 is +0.01c above the open print since the Entry was Long)

Yesterday we were Short for the biggest drop in the S&P500 for the year, today we were Long for the second biggest move up of the year.

The Friday Short was Exited at a profit on the Close. After not going Short at all for the past 5-day continuous rise (and actually accurately taking profits on the first 2-days of it), we now caught the first move down.

Unfortunately the market only moved slightly, for a smaller profit than normal:

Short Entry Friday's Open @ 158.33
Cover Exit Friday's Close @ 158.24

6 out of the 6 trades have been accurate.
