My trading methods have enjoyed a 78.6% compound annual growth rate from 1995-2006 (known as CAGR%). Bull or bear market does not matter. What's my secret?...

...A top down approach starting with the Smart Money indicator (or SMI). The Smart Money Indicator gives me one heck of an edge in trading. As a matter of fact, the SMI by itself is a great trading system (+10,157% from 1995-2006).

Once the SMI tells me the trend of the market, I use a blend of several different trading systems to exploit that edge even further. For example, I might put 20% of my money into the SMI system, 50% into the Profit Taker 2 system, and 30% into the Breakout system.

Which trading systems you use is up to you (all of them are included). If you're just starting out, it's best to use a system like the Smart Money Index Trader. That way, there's less room for mistakes (only about 3 trades a year).

And hey, it's results are nothing to sneeze at...especially now that I'm recommending index options (which can result in 10 times the gains shown).

System Name	Description	Trade Direction	Performance (1995-2006)	Best Year	Avg Trades per Year	Max Open Positions

Base Hit	Fast buys and high win % to take advantage of dips within a trend.	Long only	+4,923%	+63.8%	240	10
Profit Taker	Quick buys for 1-5 day holds. Works even during bear markets. The best gain/pain ratio of all our systems.	Long only	+19,454%	+238.6%	166	10
Profit Taker 2	Uses a longer time frame for 8-16 days holds. The trades are simply bought on the open the next day.	Long only	+4,517%	+142.2%	83	10
Breakout	A trend following system that tries to catch the big moves in stocks. Trades less frequently (about 67 times a year). The positions are simply entered on the open. Most trades last 15-40 days.	Long only	+5,888%	+159.3%	67	10
Smart Money Index Trader	Using the Smart Money indicator, this system trades the S&P 500. It's either long or short at all times (about 3 trades a year).	Long & Short	+10,157%	+142.7%	3	1
SP Slugger	A quick S&P 500 trading system to take advantage of price inefficiencies. SP Slugger trades for the quick base hit several times a year. 89% winners since 1995.	Long & Short	+10,633%	+156.0%	20	1
Breakdown	This trend following system trades only when the Smart Money indicator gives the green light to short the market. It trades less frequently, and positions are entered on the open.	Short only	+1,728%	+147.8%	27	10

Trading is an ongoing endeavor. Therefore, I'm always on the lookout for new trading ideas to exploit any market inefficiencies...it's what I enjoy doing. Please keep in mind that all trading systems are thoroughly back tested to include real-world fees such as commissions, margin interest and slippage.

The newer systems such as Profit Taker 2 have been in action since December, 2006. Others I've been trading and recommending to clients since 1998. I'm pleased to say that the new trading systems have performed inline with my expectations...yes, I trade the same stocks I recommend to members.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under (or over) compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as lack of liquidity. You may have done better or worse than the results portrayed.
