FundzTrader ETF Trading System

Fundztrader ETF Trading System

Our newest system trades Exchange Traded Funds (ETF).
There are several advantages to using ETF's for a trading system:

• Unlike ordinary mutual funds, there are no limits on how often ETF's can be traded. It's not uncommon for even the best mutual funds today to charge a fee if the fund is not held 90 to 180 days, which severely limits your investment flexibility. ETFs can be traded just like stocks
  
  
• These are diversified within the sector or country, so the risk is reduced, and the persistence of ETF sector trends is consistent enough to trade.
  
  
• There are literally over 100 ETF's, with the number growing daily. There is an ETF fund is available for almost any market sector, and dozens of countries, so if there is market strength anywhere at a given time, there's a good chance you can capture it using Exchange Traded Funds. There are even ETF's being introduced that allow you to take a long position in a bear fund. These exchange traded funds are backed by large financial institutions like Vanguard, Barclays iShares, PowerShares, and the S&P HLDRs, so liquidity and stability are not a concern.
  
  
• You can trade Exchange Traded Funds with about any discount broker, even in many Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA), and many can be traded in odd lots so the minimum amount to invest can be just a few thousand dollars.
  
  

Performance of the FundzTrader ETF Trading System:

Funds for this portfolio are selected using a proprietary metric that captures both fund momentum and volatility. They are then held for about 60 days. This system has been backtested since 2000, and tracked real time starting in August of 2006. The fund selection approach is similar to that used to select the best Fidelity funds in our Fidelity Mutual Fund system.

These systems have been optimized to reduce volatility and drawdowns. You can see that in periods of strong market advances the system can under perform the market, but in down years it should outperform the market. We trade every 60 days as that seems to be long enough for trends to materialize, but gets us out of underperforming sectors before a lot of damage is done.

We have selected a family of about 50 exchange traded funds that have at least 3 years of trading history, and good daily volume so that liquidity should not be a problem. There are several types of exchange traded funds, often referred to as iShares, Powershares, HLDRs, or simply ETF's.

We have chosen to use funds that trade like the Fidelity family of funds we have used successfully for years (our Fidelity Select Funds system has been trading in real time since 2002). These funds tend to be somewhat more narrow in focus, specializing in specific industries or countries. These funds generally trend better and give a better chance for a profitable move that we can capture. Generally we will not be investing in the broader market indices, like the QQQQ or IWM.

So, does buying and holding index funds really give you what you are looking for? Or would you rather have your money working harder for you? Just look at the difference!

Important note: As trading systems become popular, they start to lose their edge as more people trade them. So to guard against that, we are going to limit these free systems to the first 1000 users that sign up. We trade these ETFs ourselves, so we want them to continue working. Too many people trading them will break them, so we really are going to limit the number of users. Sign up today before we close them down!

If you don't want to try our system for some reason, please do yourself a favor and get off the buy and hold treadmill. Look at the record over the last seven years: The S&P 500 has been treading water and the Nasdaq has been taking on water. Find a system you can trade with a good track record, and get to work securing your future. If it's not one of ours, find another system that works for you!
