Trading Systems Help  

 

While these systems should improve your chances of success, nothing is guaranteed and you can still lose money.  We believe any thorough investment analysis includes an understanding of both the technical and fundamental elements of a company.  Human judgment is important, too.  It's unlikely that any purely mechanical system can outperform the market on a consistent basis.  The best investors in the world find all the information they can (fundamentals, technicals, and more) and pass it through their unique experience and judgment filter to come up with decisions.  To be a great investor, you must do the same. 

ERSA System
Based on the External Relative Strength calculations, this system looks for stocks with great relative strength, along with other technical factors.

Required fundamentals:
For an ERSA signal to be observed, the stock must meet at least 8 of the following 10 criteria:

1 - Earnings and sales growth of at least 20%
2 - A product that's unique and/or hard to duplicate
3 - Net Profit Margins of at least 10%
4 - A Short Interest less than 2% of float
5 - A Price/Earnings ratio no more than twice the projected earnings growth rate (i.e., a "PEG" ratio less than 2)
6 - A Debt/Equity ratio less than .25
7 - Positive cash flow
8 - Net insider buying
9 - No downward earnings revisions in the last six months
10 - A Price/Sales ratio less than 5

Runner System
This system is for those volatile stocks with huge growth prospects, but also huge risks.  Using your fundamental analysis, you find a stock that you think has great growth potential (maybe a tech stock, maybe a biotech).  This system is designed to get you in on the big moves. 

The system is proprietary, but the concept is simple - find a stock with great growth potential, and try to not to miss any big moves up, while avoiding big moves down.  The system may give you many small losses, but with the hope of catching the big trend.  The system will work poorly on range-bound stocks.

Grinder System
This system has a very simple premise.  You start with a stock that has solid, but not spectacular, fundamentals.  A stock that will likely grow 10-15% a year.  Then you simply buy on weakness and sell on strength.  It sounds easy, but if you pick the right stock (again, fundamental analysis), you'd be amazed at the returns above buy-and-hold.

The system is proprietary, but has a simple concept - find a fairly-priced stock that should grind higher, and then buy on weakness (although not too weak) and sell on strength.  The drawback to this system is that you will miss any big moves up, which is why you pick a stock that will be stable and boring.
