Market Timing the S&P 500: Up More than 30% Year to Date

November 9, 2007 by David Penn

Year-to-date, the S&P 500 is up just under 4%. Not great, by any stretch of
the imagination.

But those who have been using our S&P 500 Market Timing System don’t need to
dream of better returns. They’ve already got them – in the form of being ahead
30.93% year-to-date.



Click here to learn more about the TradingMarkets S&P Market Timing Course.

This represents beating a buy and hold S&P 500 strategy more than seven times
over.

Started in February of this year, our S&P 500 Market Timing System is an
excellent way for traders to beat the market using market timing systems derived
from a number of common technical indicators such as the RSI, directional
movement, the VIX and others. A total of 36 different technical indicators are
used in order to generate often outstanding trading opportunities.

As an S&P 500-based method, traders can use a variety of instruments to
follow the system – from the e-mini S&P 500 futures contract, to the
exchange-traded tracking fund for the S&P 500, the SPY, to options. The system
is based on exploiting short-term moves, and produces trades with holding
periods tending to last between one and five days on average.

Although the system – and, importantly, the training course offered by
TradingMarkets that teaches traders exactly how to use the system – has only been
available to traders since February of this year, our consistent approach to
trading the markets means that the S&P 500 Market Timing System has been
subjected to vigorous backtesting. It was in those backtests that we discovered
a trading system that produced 470.25 e-mini S&P 500 points from September 1997
through November 2006.

The S&P 500 Market Timing System, as of this writing, is flat and has no open
position. But rest assured that this is a system that we at TradingMarkets are
trading with real money in real time. And if the returns traders following our
S&P 500 Market Timing System are the kind of returns you would like to see in
your own trading – whether you prefer to use the e-mini S&P 500, the SPY or
options – then we encourage you to click the link below for a free 45-minute
presentation on market timing by TradingMarkets founder and CEO Larry Connors.

Click
here to watch Larry Connors
explain why Market Timing signals give you an
edge.

Market timing isn’t easy, and being successful at market timing requires
having a quantified edge, a system for protecting against severe losses, and the
confidence to stick to your method regardless of what the talking heads on CNBC
are telling you. Our S&P 500 Market Timing System has that edge, provides that
protection and can give you the confidence to step up and buy when panic and
fear dominate the market, as well as to sell when complacency has blinded others
to the growing risks of holding a position for too long. Give our 45-minute
presentation on market timing a good listen. Then give us a call and tell us
you want a piece of the action, and want to learn more about

TradingMarkets S&P 500 Market Timing Course.
