OVERVIEW OF PROFITTRADER™ INDICATORS

Based on Oscillator and Price patterns the mechanical buy and sell signals are generally 65% to 90% accurate in identifying cycle bottoms and tops. The Buy/Sell Signals are generated in two steps. Learn More...

1) When the oscillator turns above or below the oscillator Buy/Sell lines, a potential change in market momentum is indicated by a colored Setup bar.

2) When prices exceed the high of the Setup bar, a Buy "Trigger Entry" occurs. When prices drop below the low of the Setup bar, a Sell "Trigger Entry" occurs.

Once you have determined trend, entered a market and placed your initial protective stop, you must decide where to take a profit. Reliable trailing stops can make the difference between big profits and small profits. All too often we nervously grab a small profit on the first reaction only to see the market take off once we are stopped out. The ProfitTrader™ trailing stops are designed to follow prices as closely or as far away as your trading temperament dictates. They provide the flexibility to follow prices into a trading cycle reversal with a tight stop to minimize profit give back, or to give a market room to let profits run in the really big moves.

The ProfitTrader™ Short-term Trail Stop Indicator is a fast moving mathematical stop to lock in a quick profit, often as a trading cycle reverses. The Long-term Trail gives a market more room for price fluctuation to trail the bigger moves. Using these stops eliminates the need to wait for a trading signal in the opposite direction, or the constant re-evaluation of mental trailing stops.

ProfitTrader™ Trailing Stops lock in profits from cycle tops and bottoms in all time frames, in all markets. Learn More...

Cycles are the only technical tools that allow reasonably accurate forecasting of future tops and bottoms. The cycles used in our analysis are as long as 4 years for the Stock Market, and as short-term as minutes or ticks for intraday trading. Timing Bands are plotted on a chart, but since they do not show beyond the edge of the chart. The dates and times will show on the chart, or may be viewed in the Expert Commentary gives the exact dates/times of the Timing Bands. Learn More...

Cycles frequently top and bottom at support/resistance levels. We use the Fibonnaci ratios to help confirm cycle retracement and determine price objectives. Additionally, the price movement of one cycle can often forecast the approximate price level of the next cycle in a calculation called the Mid-Cycle Pause (MCP). Learn More...

The most important aspect in trading the market is trend. The only "Holy Grail" of trading is -- Trade with the trend; if it is up, buy the dips; if it is down, sell the rallies. We use four indicators to help identify trend and trading trend. Once trend is identified, cycles are used to buy bottoms in the direction of trend, if up; or sell tops in the direction of trend, if down. Also, using cycles, we can anticipate trend reversals.

Most cycles top and bottom when a market is overbought or oversold. While the BLine and Double Stoc oscillators show these extremes when the oscillators are above 90 and below 10, the Keltner Bands and Real-Time Detrend will often show the extremes a market can reach. When the oscillators are overbought/oversold and the markets reach the extremes indicated by the Keltner Bands and Detrend, a trading signal in the opposite direction will frequently confirm a cycle top or bottom.
