About this strategy

We go long or short based on signals generated by 1 or several neural net systems. These signals are used together with 3 other "indicators" which are statistically shown to bias the market to either rising or falling, by themselves. Many signals are held for about 24 hours. Some are shorter and some are held for several days. Also, at times, there are gap openings which help bias the market trading during the rest of the "trading day." Therefore, based on certain gap openings, together with the neural net signals and/or other indicator indications, we may go long or short around 9:30 Eastern time, or place certain limit orders at various points. A perfect and wonderful trade example are either of the two last trades in June 2017. However, fairly common is a gain of 5 to 7 . . . and 1/4 or 1/3 of the time (or however much it is) the market moves against us and we must scramble or watch a bit to escape at breaking even or a small profit. Many entries will be made around 1:30 or 2:00 p.m. Pacific time, which is about an hour after the ending of official stock market trading. At this time, we know the results of the first neural net system prediction for the next day, and we have the end-of-day values of 1 to 3 of the bias indicators. Sometimes we know enough or should know enough to go long or short, at 12:50 or 12:55 p.m Pacific time. Though the neural net analysis is not yet done for the day, certain large moves up or down, together with the previous day's neural net information are sufficiently clear that one should be long or short, at least pending further information.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.
