Assumptions - Performance numbers below assume our basic trading rules are followed meaning
1)the stock is not purchased until the short-term downtrend has been broken unless it has already
been broken at the time its featured (the downtrend as defined when the stock was picked in the
Weekly Alert). 2) A limit order for a 7% gain is placed immediately after purchase unless a specific
target price is mentioned. 3) The limit order is canceled and the stock is sold at the next open price if
the price closes below the stop-loss price. (If no stop-loss price is mentioned, the stock would be sold
at the open price the day after the stock closes below its uptrend support.)
*** We started giving specific target prices on most of our trades starting in mid April of '05.
Definitions:
Featured Date - Date Weekly Alert was sent to subscribers (Was released prior to next days market
open).
Entry Price - Approximate market open price the day after breaking downtrend resistance, or the first
market open price after alert is sent to subscribers if the downtrending resistance was already broken
(this is noted in Weekly Alert. i.e., If the downtrend has already been broken, we say the target entry is
Monday.).
Max Gain - Maximum percent gain before breaking intermediate or long-term uptrend support.
Max Decrease - The lowest price achieved after theoretical entry before target gain was reached. In the
case of a losing trade, its the market open price the day after price closes below stop-loss point given
in the Weekly Alert. If no stop-loss was mentioned in Weekly Alert, the sell point is the open price the
day after price closes below uptrend shown shown in Weekly Alert.
Days Reached - Approximate number of trading days it took to reach Max Gain.
Days to Target Gain - Approximate number of trading days from entry date until stock reached target
price or a 7% gain if no specific target price was mentioned in weekly alert.
(W - theoretical winning trade using above assumptions.)
(L - theoretical losing trade using above assumptions).
** Trade was not made because stock closed below the stop-loss level before the downtrend
resistance was broken with a closing price.
* Has not broken long-term uptrend support as of 12/18/06.
**** Gapped above target sell price for larger gain with a limit order.
