Need better trading results?

We provide market timing signals for QQQQ (the Nasdaq 100 Index Tracking Fund), the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for US Federal Employees, and Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) rotation strategies.

Our signals are 100% mechanical - and are easy to follow with clear, unambiguous daily signals for QQQQ trading (and QLD - QID for Long and Short margined positions) and weekly signals for ETF rotation. Our TSP signals (US federal employee savings account) provide for reallocations no more than twice a month.

Currently, the signals that we offer for free are available on this page or by using the links on the right.  Just check the website once a day (for the daily stock market timing signals) or once a week (for the weekly signals.)

The trade table below shows the QQQQ Timing System 3. To see our other signals, please use the links on the right.

The QQQQ Timing System 3 moves between Long and Short positions in the Nasdaq 100 tracking stock (QQQQ) and cash. All results assume trading QQQQ at the open on the day following the posting of a new signal using 2X margin. Similar results may be obtained using QLD and QID (when long and short)

We first posted System 3 on the web on October 28, 2008 and signals have been posted daily since then. Results before that date are back tested. Earlier trade history is available here. The underlying system that this strategy is based on, the QQQQ Timing System 1 has been posted on the web since 2004.

Three different kinds of stock market timing signals

We provide three kinds of signals for timing and trading the stock market:

QQQQ Market Timing Systems

Signals for timing the market using general market timing trading vehicles such as QQQQ, the Nasdaq 100 tracking stock. These signals, such as the QQQQ Timing System 3, are designed to take "Long" or "Short" positions in the market or to move to "Cash" depending on the likelihood of the market moving or down in coming days. Some of the timing systems we publish are agressive - they trade quite frequently in an attempt to capture small day-to-day moves of the market. Other systems, trade relatively infrequently to avoid excessive trading costs and to allow longer term market moves to develop.

These signals are provided on a daily basis - and although some of the systems trade quite frequently up to two or three times a week on average, many of the systems do not trade more than a dozen or so times a year.

ETF Timing Rotation Systems

Signals for rotating between exchange traded funds (ETFs) based on the predicted relative strengths of the various ETFs we track.  For some of the ETF systems, the signal moves to the relatively stable ETF, symbol, TLT, when the market is showing general weakness. TLT for our ETF systems serves the purpose of cash, although a more conservative approach could be used by moving to money market funds (cash equivalents) when our systems call for TLT.

The ETF signals are provided on a weekly basis on the weekends for trading on Monday near the close or near the open on Tuesday. A few of the systems trade almost every week, but most of the systems trade much more infrequently.

TSP Systems for Timing the Thrift Savings Plan Funds Available to US Federal Employees

The third type of system we publish is specifically for trading the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Funds available to US federal employees as part of the retirement system.  TSP is in essence a type of 401k plan for federal employees. These TSP systems trade only twice per month at most. Often, the systems do not trade for months at a time. These longer term systems could be used by anyone when trading mutual funds or ETFs that are similar in investment performance to the TSP funds.

The TSP systems are updated weekly on the weekends, but only trade once or twice a month at most.
