#1 Indicator for Trading the S&P is…

Hey Friend,

 

We just had a Battle Royal here at Portfolio Boss.

 

With the release of version 5.2, we added a ton of human-made indicators to build trading strategies.

 

Of course, if you upgrade to The Boss SuperAi, the computer will design the whole thing from scratch for you.

 

And indeed that's what I did.

 

I setup a strategy that switches between the popular leveraged S&P 500 ETF: SSO, and its inverse: SDS.

 

I pressed Start, and within about 10 minutes, here's what it built:

                                       Shaded area is out-of-sample to confirm strategy isn't over-fit to the past
Now I HATE bad fills (slippage)...you know...where you go to buy a stock for 50.00 and you end up getting in at 50.15. It adds up.

So I told The Boss to build me a strategy using limit orders.

 

That way it buys at a price below the closing price of SSO for a terrific entry.

 

Then you sell it a certain amount above the closing price so you get a great exit price...a one-two punch.

 

I talk about this sort of thing in this free report.

 

So what was the #1 indicator for this trading strategy? Was it MACD? Chaikin? RSI? Stochastics? Bollinger bands?

 

Naw...those rarely get picked. That's what the majority of TA chartists look at.

 

What the majority knows isn't worth knowing when it comes to trading.

This strategy had only one indicator: A trailing ATR stop loss.

 

"ATR" is a volatility indicator.

 

So if there's a significant down day compared to the past couple months, it gets out.

 

What makes the strategy so profitable is the use of those limit orders. It's always looking for a deal.

 

Bonus

 

The Boss created an even better strategy with 12,633% return over the same period (2007-2022).

 

What was the #1 indicator?

 

"No go retracement zones."

This one is so strange and has nothing to do with Fibonacci levels.

 

And it's only two trading rules.

 

But I'm running out of time today.

 

I'll talk more about it in the next update...and it has everything to do with current events in the markets.

 

Until then, grab this report on why you want to use limit orders with your trades.

 

Everyone talks about the 1,200X return of Apple since 1980.

 

It's actually faster and more consistent to make a bunch of quick little gains, and you won't have a heart-attack when your favorite stock sinks -84% over a ten year period like Apple did (1987-1997).

Trade smart,

EARNINGS DISCLAIMER: I like to provide full transparency and not blow smoke up your behind, so listen up.100% Club members in general are seeing between 91%-100% winning months in back tests just using the Instant Start templates I created for them. These results are out-of-sample (unseen in the optimization phase), so I put a lot of weight into that fact.

I don’t yet have a statistic for the average member as far as gains are concerned. There are a lot of variables because this is not a cookie-cutter program. I do have dozens of brokerage statements on file, and the majority are looking positive.

There were a couple outliers that weren’t good because they went off track. I believe I convinced them of where they went wrong and they are back on track (too much leverage, and some over-fitting to the past). That’s my job :)

There are other factors in play as well such as: Are you actually making the trades? Account size. Is your broker any good or are they fleecing you? Are you using all the leverage available to you, or are you dialing it back like I recommend?

Simply put, I believe the reason we’re seeing the highest preliminary success rate of any program EVER is because:

a) you’re selecting from 100+ supercomputer-built strategies, and the odds of them all failing at once are extremely low.

b) the strategies take advantage of highly unusual edges that very few if any know about.

c) Our Meta ML technology is completely unique in the trading world. Very few understand that all strategies have cycles, and that there are opportune times to trade them. This allows you to treat trading more like a business rather than a hobby.

d) The daily instructions are brain-dead simple to follow, and can be accomplished in just a few minutes.
