We developed a method of evaluating the Markets prior
to the inception of Stock Traders Daily (Stock Traders
Daily was founded in January 2000) which embedded the
concept of correlating proper Market timing with the
same underlying trading signals within individual stocks.
We believed that by being able to find stocks that were
trading along with the markets we would be able to find
profitable trades much more efficiently. We found
our success using this method to be outstanding as you
can review here:
In 2000 our combined Day Trading and
Swing Trading results provided returns to those who
followed our chat-room-based trading calls of 250.7%
before commissions. We did not separate Day Trades
from Swing Trades during this year.
In 2001 our Trading results provided returns
to those who followed our chat-room-based trading calls
of 152.59% before commissions.
In 2002 our Day Trading results provided returns
to those who followed our chat-room-based trading calls
of 52.75% before commissions. Our swing
Trading results were 100.57%
In the first half of 2003 (we stopped
using the chat-room method of making day trading calls
in June 2003) our Day Trading results provided returns
to those who followed our chat-room-based trading calls
of 24.25% before commissions during the
first half of 2003. Our swing Trading results
were 49.76%
In the middle of 2002 we began to realize that many
of our clients were simply unable to follow the trades
that we were calling because they were not able prepare
for the trading calls, and because the trading calls
were limited to 1 call (maybe 2) per trading signal.
Therefore, in 2003, we changed the way that we made
trading calls available to our clients to make it easier
for them to prepare for a trade, and to give them more
options to trade when a trading call came.
Using the same methods we had used to make trading
calls available to our clients since inception, we allowed
our clients to see behind the scenes; we wanted them
to know what we were doing to achieve these results.
We wanted them to know when trading signals would come
well before they occurred and we wanted them to have
options to trade which they didn't have before.
Our new method of presenting these calls to our clients
allows our clients much more flexibility in terms of
preparation and trading options, but it handcuffs our
ability to accurately follow the trading calls as we
did before because suddenly the variables involved exponentially
multiplied. Therefore we began to track the accuracy
of our Trading Parameters to ensure that our system
continued to function as it had in the past. Remember
the foundation of our past results and our future results
rests on our ability to accurately pinpoint Market Timing.
Thus far our accuracy has been a steady 75% (in line
with our estimates of accuracy from inception), which
means that we are right about our Market analysis 75
out of 100 times on average. You can review this
yourself here:
75% Accurate since 2002
Our concepts have been and will be as simple as
this: We believe that we can achieve proficient
Market success by correlating accurate Market timing
(proven by past results and the accuracy ratings above)
with the same trading signals that occur in individual
stocks (which our new method of presenting stocks does).
And by finding stocks that are trading with the market
we are much more able to find profitable trades and
we are much less likely to waste our efforts.
