Investment Strategy

Stocks exhibit cyclical behavior of various magnitudes and across multiple time
frames. Our time span focus is on the swing trading cycles that occur over several
days.

We use proprietary science to measure the probability of finding future cyclical


turning points as well as turn direction in non-linear systems such as the stock
market. We also look at various price and volume relationships to find major turning
points.

The cyclical turns are forecasted on a calendar date basis using our Precision Turn
Predictor model, while the price-volume signals are generated by our Price Volume
Crossover tool. These signals carry statistical significance and serve as the
backbone of our long/short investment strategy.

We invest long or short in up to 21 of the highest-rated S&P 500 stocks (maximum


14 positions long or short), using up to 50% leverage for portfolio adjustment, but
with a maximum100% net exposure in either direction.

Average holding period 3.4 days

Entry Signal Parameters

How much of an edge does


the signal have over a random
entry?

Express this as the excess win

How long does the edge last?

Express duration as the time


it takes for the edge to decay
to half its strength

Investment Strategy
Directional Edge
Bias

The probability of finding


price at a certain level in
the future is expressed as a
cone of probability

If there is a directional
edge, then the cone is
tilted up or down

Volatility Bias

Market volatility can


change, and this changes
the width of the cone

Risk Management Strategy

Constrain stops to never move away


from the trade

Constrain stops and targets to


pinch out the trade as expected
duration is approached

Hang stops and targets from the


best price achieved during the trade
(Chandelier)

Constrain the target probability to be


optimal for all other settings
