Methodology

We look to inspire confidence to trade, using signals and strategies worth following.

Trading tools include “With-the-Trend” & “Counter-Trend”  entry indicators with targets/stops. This is optionally facilitated by Scalp entry Support/Resistance tools.

Indicators are used to support a possible trade at suggested  areas based on historical probabilities. Trade failures may also be used to support a probability of a market reversal. Historical results will be posted for back-tested, forward-tested and real trades. This analysis helps provide conviction for future real time trades where the goal of the Assisted Trader is to exceed the performance of the Assisted Trading indicators results.

The Entry/Exit signals associated with an indicator suggest trade areas based on statistical data patterns. The expectation is that these signals will continue into the near future providing the user with a statistical edge.

Setup for the indicators is based on Instrument/Timeframe/Risk/Reward and Percent Probability. The setup data is entered by the user on a periodic basis through email notification or as published on the web site.

Performance is recorded by a “Profit and Loss” (PnL) chart which is rolled forward from the historic end-of-day,  creating end-of-week and yearly PnL charts.

Real time execution may be recorded by the user and compared to the baseline Indicator Pnl Chart.  The indicator becomes a tool not only to guide the trader but also for the trader to compete against the indicator and measure his performance and progress.

Baseline PnL (Profit and Loss) chart will be published daily on the Blog allowing comparison of real trades for deterioration/improvement and maintenance against the trade possibilities of the baseline standard. Ideally we wish to demonstrate how we exceed the performance of the baseline indicator, this is our daily goal.

We believe that following (or including our indicator tools) will provide an “edge” which will help provide an impetus in creating focus, discipline, like having a friend “on the screen”.

Trade Indicators provide heads up warning (visual and audio) of upcoming trades.

Specific entry or entry range is specified with a fixed target (base system).

Risk/Reward/Probability are known before you create the position. Traders can elect to take signals “as is” or adjust to improve the risk/reward depending on expertise.

Swing Positions: use the same indicator/method on larger time frame. Smaller/Faster time frame seeds low risk entry by removal of 75% of initial position at “stat based” fixed target. Remaining position used in same Methodology executed on larger time frame targeting larger “stat based” target … and so on.

Assisted Trading web site provides end-of-day, end-of-week and yearly roll-forward statistics for instruments traded.

Compare our execution results with your existing system and look for congruence of signals to improve your edge.

Risk Disclosure Example:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure Example:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
