What are the Veteran Strategies Signaling? Corona Del Mar, CA   Howdy !   I remember when Tesla decided to share its patents with the world in 2014...   ...my initial thought was "why on earth would Elon do that?"   Then I realized that everyone would be riding his coattails while Tesla was already on to the next thing.   People and companies and governments go down the path of least resistance.   So if you blaze a trail to follow, they won't go off and build another trail.   It's quite probable that's why plans get "leaked" or "stolen" or "sold on the black market" from the West to China or the former USSR all those decades ago.   Then you know their flaws and you can sabotage them if they get uppity.   It was brought to my attention that a subscriber not only took a lot of my work and passed it off as his own, but he even stole the name of one of my strategies.   People notice these things.   However...it's old work.   Things I talked about in 2006.   We're knee-deep in machine learning on all kinds of weird data these days.   But hey, it's Throwback Thursday so let's look at some strategies that have been proven right over the decades and see what they're signaling.   Atlas Order   First up we have Atlas Order.   It's based on research I did all the way back to 1926 (download the PDF here).   It trades a basket of ETFs from all over the world, commodities, indices, and stock sectors (75 in total).   It has been sidestepping just about everything since July.   The only thing that has momentum is Mexico. Seriously.   Smart Money   Next up we have the Smart Money indicator.   It's on a "sell" signal for the S&P 500 and a "buy" signal for long-term bonds.   DB Transactions   How about the "DB Transactions" strategy I released in 2014?   DB's are cool because it focuses on momentum and anti-momentum.   DB actually stands for "double-barrel."   As far as I know, I haven't been ripped off on that idea yet.   It focuses on tech stocks so you'd think it would be in a terrible drawdown.   Not at all. A lot of planning went into that strategy.   It started skipping out on stocks way back in January.   It's in First Solar and Biogen (+21% & +8%). Nothing else qualifies.   AAII Sentiment and Index Put/call data   Just seeing if you're awake...you'll recall that after rigorous testing with machine learning, there's no predictive power in these.   How about the New Stuff?   The biggest breakthrough in 25 years of designing trading strategies occurred when we started feeding The Boss SuperAi weird non-price data.   While I'm getting ripped off on old work, we've pioneered an entirely new way to trade.   I know with 100% confidence that next to no one is using this approach because it was the biggest pain in the ass ever.   We've gone through four data vendors to get it right. But it was worth it because it's highly predictive.   Price and volume based strategies (which is nearly 100% of them) can't hold a candle.   Below is a price chart of the inverse S&P 500 (SDS). By the way, yes, this "Simon" strategy is still in SDS for a 17% gain.   You might be wondering why it has a graphic of the classic kids game, Simon, near the buy signals?   You're going to have to wait until next week for me to explain what playing Simon has to do with profitable trading in just about ANY market under the sun.   Until then... Trade smart,   Dan "Prince of Proof" Murphy                             Portfolio Boss, Inc. 260 Newport Center Dr, Suite 100 Newport Beach, CA 92660   About us: Created by our founder, Dan Murphy, Portfolio Boss 1.0 was released in 2014 as an alternative to mainstream back testing software. Although it was slow and clunky at first, it quickly grew because it offered scientific testing on large baskets of stocks and ETFs, including a ranking engine, and used a simple drag and drop strategy builder. No programming required. Also helping matters was the release of the popular report, The Relaxed Investor, with over 500,000 downloads and counting. Inside its pages laid the foundation for rotational investing, proven since 1926. Portfolio Boss quickly morphed into a multi-strategy trading machine with completely new concepts such as strategy stacking, spigoting, and meta-strategic trading. After years of development, Portfolio Boss morphed once again into the first automated A.I strategy builder with massive parallel cloud computing available to the public. With over 3,500 computer cores, "The Boss" was born. Not only can it invent trading strategies using human-made indicators, it also programs itself using C code. Currently, The Boss has been running for over 1900 years of compute time. Starting in 2022, The Boss was updated to include uncommon data such as fund flows and True Asset Pricing to improve strategies by a factor of 18x to 36x over indexing. What's next? Intraday trading and automation for starters. Our goal is to provide hedge fund level A.I tools for everyday kitchen counter traders.   Don't want to stay in the loop with Dan? We'll be sad to see you go, but you can unsub to no longer receive emails.   Government required disclaimer: The results listed herein are based on hypothetical trades.
