We developed a method of evaluating the Markets prior to the inception of Stock Traders Daily (Stock Traders Daily was founded in January 2000) which embedded the concept of correlating proper Market timing with the same underlying trading signals within individual stocks.  We believed that by being able to find stocks that were trading along with the markets we would be able to find profitable trades much more efficiently.  We found our success using this method to be outstanding as you can review here:

In 2000 our combined Day Trading and Swing Trading results provided returns to those who followed our chat-room-based trading calls of 250.7% before commissions.  We did not separate Day Trades from Swing Trades during this year.

In 2001 our Trading results provided returns to those who followed our chat-room-based trading calls of 152.59% before commissions.

In 2002 our Day Trading results provided returns to those who followed our chat-room-based trading calls of 52.75% before commissions.  Our swing Trading results were 100.57%

In the first half of 2003 (we stopped using the chat-room method of making day trading calls in June 2003) our Day Trading results provided returns to those who followed our chat-room-based trading calls of 24.25% before commissions during the first half of 2003.  Our swing Trading results were 49.76%

In the middle of 2002 we began to realize that many of our clients were simply unable to follow the trades that we were calling because they were not able prepare for the trading calls, and because the trading calls were limited to 1 call (maybe 2) per trading signal.  Therefore, in 2003, we changed the way that we made trading calls available to our clients to make it easier for them to prepare for a trade, and to give them more options to trade when a trading call came.

Using the same methods we had used to make trading calls available to our clients since inception, we allowed our clients to see behind the scenes; we wanted them to know what we were doing to achieve these results.  We wanted them to know when trading signals would come well before they occurred and we wanted them to have options to trade which they didn't have before.  Our new method of presenting these calls to our clients allows our clients much more flexibility in terms of preparation and trading options, but it handcuffs our ability to accurately follow the trading calls as we did before because suddenly the variables involved exponentially multiplied.  Therefore we began to track the accuracy of our Trading Parameters to ensure that our system continued to function as it had in the past.  Remember the foundation of our past results and our future results rests on our ability to accurately pinpoint Market Timing.  Thus far our accuracy has been a steady 75% (in line with our estimates of accuracy from inception), which means that we are right about our Market analysis 75 out of 100 times on average.  You can review this yourself here:

75% Accurate since 2002

Our concepts have been and will be as simple as this:  We believe that we can achieve proficient Market success by correlating accurate Market timing (proven by past results and the accuracy ratings above) with the same trading signals that occur in individual stocks (which our new method of presenting stocks does).  And by finding stocks that are trading with the market we are much more able to find profitable trades and we are much less likely to waste our efforts.
