About this strategy

The system will short sell individual stocks that are in established downtrends and buy non-correlated assets, such as bonds or gold, that are in established uptrends.

The objective of the system is to hedge a long only portfolio. If the system is successful in meeting its objectives, it will perform well in bear markets and provide mediocre performance in bull markets.

Position sizing and risk management are based on my other system, "The Momentum of Now", which has a track record on Collective2 going back to the year 2012.

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. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
