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).

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.
