Stock Trends TSX Portfolio
Can Stock Trends be used to trade profitably?... the answer to that question is
a most definite yes!
One of the simplest trading strategies you can employ uses the trading signal defined
by a moving average crossover, which is exactly what the Stock Trends
indicators are based on.
In 1995 we researched trading strategies incorporating criteria focusing on the Stock
Trends indicators. From that research, the Stock Trends Portfolio strategy was born, and has been
published and distributed to subscribers on a weekly basis since 1995.
Since its inception, the Stock Trends Portfolio trading strategy has returned some
impressive performance numbers – averaging over 40% annual returns over the 15 years since it's inception in late 1993 to December 2008!
The trading results of the Stock Trends Portfolio have been extremely successful,
especially when compared to the benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index:
