Strategy Summary

EASY TO TRADE. A conservative stocks only trading system producing excellent steady results to date avg 30% annualized in bull/bear markets. It finds undervalued stocks that have irrationally been hit in the stock price and have bottomed/flattened out and taking advantage of a short term rally. EOD signals.

Remember there is a substantial risk of loss in trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Mostly OK system. Have a few reservations though - too slow to recognise a change in the macro picture (persisted with shorts when clearly game had changed to range trading), also - slippage in reality is much worse than posted on C2 - BEWARE!!

David is an extremely astute trader. His commentary alone is worth the low monthly subscription fee.

A promising system with no slippage. Vendor is very responsive. Large diversified portfolio with both long and short positions. All trades have stop-loss and take profit. Min. trading capital ~$15,000 required to offset commissions and subscription fee by sufficient margin.

System Description

OLD AND RESPECTED SYSTEM.

Signals are issued after market hours- EASY TO TRADE

My goal is to achieve 35% annualized return consistently while limiting risk. (S&P500 max drawdown 41%, vs. Bottoms up of 18%!!! )

Generally look for 7-13% gain on average trade, if gain doesnt pan out, will close out position between 2 and 4 weeks. Up to 12-15 open positions at any time (with each position averaging between 5-8% of total portfolio- CONSERVATIVE SYSTEM) Targets and stop losses are set with most signals. Average trade length is 2 weeks.

Limit orders are placed above market price to avoid slippage- its basically a market order, but allows the C2 results to mimic real life.
For the most part I usually try to exit the trade within a few days to a couple of weeks. I am available for any further questions and also make myself available for emailing.

As of April 1, 2006, went to an EOD(after market close) signals.

---As of 2/1/2007 the system will no longer trade Options in the system. If when I am sending the signals, and you are interested in buying an option on the underlying security, email me and I will be more than happy to advise. I only did 4 options trades up to this point, and want to target my system to "stock" traders, since I was getting 99% of all my profits from stocks anyways.
