HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING AND MAY NOT BE IMPACTED BY BROKERAGE AND OTHERSLIPPAGE FEES. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER- OR OVER-COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED 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 THOSE SHOWN.

How the results were obtained: The simulated returns looked at a universe of over 6000 stocks. The data was obtained from outside sources which we believe are reliable but we cannot assure their complete accuracy. The tests were run from January 1, 1995-August 31, 2006. One cent commissions were charged and cash balances assumed 3 month t-bill rates. Any dividends received along the way were included in the test results.

Bollinger Bands were developed by John Bollinger. This product was not developed by and is not endorsed by John Bollinger or Bollinger Capital Management, Inc. and is not affiliated in any way with BollingerBands.com or BollingerOnBollingerBands.com.

The TradingMarkets Aggressive Momentum Method will be removed from the market this Friday, January

over the past two years.

We buy weakness (pullbacks) and we sell strength (run-ups).

Most everything we do is quantified with at least 10 years of rigorous testing. We have done this with numerous systems and methodologies we have published (and still trade) including: Always Buy Value (ABV), TradingMarkets Capital Appreciation Program (TMCAP), Raptor-I, Raptor-II, Advanced Windows, PowerRatings, and now, the TradingMarkets Aggressive Momentum Method. We use these methodologies with corporate money, personal money, and private investment money. This does not guarantee that we, nor anyone else, will make money in the future. This is how we trade; it’s been successful for us, and for many repeat customers. In many programs, we provide money-back guarantees by returning the cost of the program to our customers if they don’t make money over a one-year period of time.

Bollinger Bands were created by John Bollinger and have been used by traders for many years (we are not affiliated with John Bollinger).

Numerous traders have used them to guide their buying and selling decisions. The bands have been used on an intra-day and daily basis, along with being used in most markets, including stocks, futures and Forex.

This method gives you a solid method to apply the Bollinger Bands in a quantified systematic manner. The results from this systematic approach are the highest performing portfolio methodology we've published to date.

There is ample statistical evidence that stocks tend to move from oversold to overbought conditions and vice-versa. The TradingMarkets Aggressive Momentum Method uses a systematic, quantified approach to identify when stocks are very oversold. We then enter these stocks at levels which have historically risen. Then, after the stocks rally, we look to take advantage of the rally by exiting into strength (the average holding period has been approximately 5 days). On average nearly 3 out of every 4 signals have been profitable since 1995, with the winning trades averaging just over 8% per trade. This systematic process is then done over and over again each trading day.

Why does the TradingMarkets Aggressive Momentum Method Work?

2. It exits at levels which have historically identified the end of the short-term momentum move.

3. It has been quantified on over 11 years of signals with thousands and thousands of theTradingMarkets Aggressive Momentum Method signals.
