Implementation - Going across the columns from left to right, you’ll see the following headers.
Market – generally accepted abbreviation for the given market. The symbol you use for actual trading may be different than the one listed due to electronic markets or order entry software. Call your broker with any questions.
Month – The expiration month of the contract that we are following. This is especially important in determining the swing high or low.
Comm. Mom. – Commercial momentum will either be POSITIVE and listed in BLUE, or it will be NEGATIVE and listed in RED. We will always signal trades in line with commercial momentum.
Overbought – This indicates recent market POSITIVE movement against the commercial momentum. When commercial momentum is NEGATIVE and overbought is POSITIVE we will begin to look for an opportunity to SELL in line with the commercial’s momentum.
Oversold – This indicates recent market NEGATIVE movement against the commercial momentum. When commercial momentum is POSITIVE and oversold is NEGATIVE we will begin to look for an opportunity to BUY in line with the commercial’s momentum.
Action – When a signal is issued, this is where it shows up. There are two options – BUY, or SELL.
SW Hi/Lo – This will coincide with an action signal and is the recent swing high or low in the given market. We use this as a protective stop point. This allows us to quantify the Dollar value risk to our account prior to taking any given trade.
W/# Trades – The first number is the number of winning trades in a given market. The second number is the total number of trades taken in that market since publication began (4/1/09). A ratio of 3/5 means that there have been 3 winners out of 5 trades published.
| Market | Month | Comm. Mom. |
Overbought | Oversold | Action | SW Hi/Lo | W/# Trds |
| Blue = positive & Red = negative. 1 of each = trade opportunity. Action will signal the trade and SW Hi/Lo = protective stop point. W/# Trds = # wins out of total # trades published for each individual market | |||||||
