PLAN A


Based on our signals, Timingstock's Model will generate a Buy, a Sell/Short or a Cash signal. Once a signal has been issued, it remains in effect until a new signal invalidates it. Since we don't know in advance when a new signal will be generated, you should expect a signal change at any time, sometimes even during market hours. As soon as we get a new signal, we will update the signal on the web site, in addition to posting it on the Signal page. We will also automatically send E-mail notifications to all active subscribers. That way, you don't have to check the site every day to ensure that you are not missing a new signal. We advise you to check your E-mail or our site every morning before market open. Even if our signal is issued during the market hours of the previous day, as long you execute the trade at the next morning's open you should have approximately the same results.

When our Model issues a Buy signal, it means it is time to buy the market through one of the index tracking investment vehicles. (Our system issues one signal for many indexes. For more details, please check our What to Trade page.)

When we issue a Cash signal, you should sell your current position and move it to Cash. We will then wait for the next investment opportunity. (Note: we do not include in our performance, any Money Market interest you may gain when you are in Cash).

When the signal is a Sell/Short, you should sell your long position and either keep the proceeds in cash or take a short position, depending on the level of risk you are willing to take.

On average we issue 10 - 15 round-trip signals a year. Over the past 7 years, acting on these signals has been extremely profitable with less draw downs (risk) to the comparable Indexes as shown in our Performance page.


PLAN B (What is a plan without a Plan B?)


Since no investment model will always be right, and maybe the market will go against our position, we will issue a Cash signal if the QQQQ (which tracks the NASDAQ 100 index) moves against our current position ENTRY price by more than 7% ("stop loss"). In addition, the maximum drawdown will be 12% ("stop drawdown"). This means that if the market moves down 12% from the high of our current position (or 12 % above the low when short), we will issue a Cash signal as well. You should not do the 7% or 12% calculations yourself; you should wait for our E-mail. Please note that if we get a new signal at around our "stop loss" or "stop drawdown" we will not change the signal.

You should keep in mind that the "stop loss" and "stop drawdown" is based on the QQQQ. It may be that the other indices or ETFs will be against the entry price by more then the 7% or 12% respectively (especially the SMH).

Some of our Buy and Sell signals will be perfect (come at the bottom or top, respectively), but sometimes a signal may come in too early, meaning the market will continue to go up (when short) or down (when long). A signal may also be late, but as long the market does not go against our position by more than 7%, and our performance outperforms the market over the long run, we will consider our system to be successful, and it will be a wealth builder for all who participate.
