one way to gather paying customers there is a web site called collective2.com where you can showcase your system and have your trades publicly audited in real time. This website will let thousands of people see your real-world results. It will cost you very little to list there and as the...

Morning again Robert, Pete makes an excellent observation as to the limitations C2 themselves points out. I know there are at least 2 other sites which try to give an unbiased audit - timertrac and covestor. Subject to what Pete pointed out, however, even with the disclaimers, I find the...

Morning Pete, I stand corrected and thank you. Do you know of any sites I can check out which do a better job at that? Tia, Steve

there is a website called collective2.com where all manner of trading systems are publicly and independently audited. Most don't end up doing well, including mine, but the web site IS a public audit, no hype, no distortion. I would tend to trust what I see there much more than any advertising...

Books and experts I think anyone trading via some system or method they have developed would tell you that you have to be willing to think 'outside the box' like so much of the rest of life. many of the books on investing come across as if its one clear set of rules and not to be deviated...

Any of these sites can be audited They could use Timer Trac or collective2.com if they wished to set up an independent audit.

I think divergence can be a useful tool as long as you understand the built-in flaw to all oscillators. They have all been time-tested to a generic 'best-fit' number setting and they 'diverge' if ""your"" index/stock has a move shorter or longer than the best-fit setting. What does this mean to...

You hit on a key point of human psychology. From my 8 years experiences doing this type of work, I've found that no matter how many real world cautions people are given, somewhere inside, a part of them really thinks there is a way to get every point every time.

Blades is right, Adam Most do blow up after making an initial splash. It is extremely hard to lay in a set of mechanical rules that will last thru bull mkts, bear mkts and trading range mkts. Harder still is wading thru all the disinformation both published, posted , quoted and broadcast...

Why NO system or method will ever be universally used. Adam, this is an old post of mine but I have seen every single instance listed occur in real life. I read somewhere recently that any particular strategy will be skewed if it becomes popular enough and enough people start using it. That...

There IS a way. Over at the left of the main page click on THE GRID, when the grid screen comes up click on AGE and they will sort by oldest. You hit on a crucial point that there are many angry, disappointed reviews wherein the user subscribed and a signal lost money. They should almost have a...

Was it you ? I honestly don't remember.

I honestly don't remember who, but some here at the T2W community once suggested I place my work at collective2.com. This worked out very well for me and I just wanted to say thanks.

Good questions all I'll attempt to answer in the same order as your questions.

This is good material. Marty Zweig wrote about new highs VS new lows decades ago in his book 'Winning on Wall St'. He also covered the put call ratio and advisor sentiment as contrarian indicators. I went on to include it in my own work but normalized the reading(s) by dividing by total...
