TimingStock Service Questions

What do I get as a subscriber?

First, you get access to our clear Buy, Cash, and Sell/Short signals. Additionally, you get access to our Member resources content which includes resourceful indicators that will help you in the decision-making process. (This is especially valuable if you are a “Do- It-Yourself" investor).

How much does your service cost?

You have two options. You can either subscribe on a Monthly basis for $30 billed once a Month, or you can subscribe on a Yearly basis for $299 billed once a Year. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of your subscription period and you will be billed accordingly.
If you intent to use our Model for commercial purposes, please contact us for details.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You may cancel at any time by simply sending us an E-mail with a cancellation request, please specify your lest name and User-ID in the request. Upon notification of your cancellation will immediately stop charging your credit card. We will send you an E-mail confirming the cancellation. If you did not receive any conformation within 3 days, please re-submit your request.

Do you offer any refund?

We do, depending on the plan you have chosen. With the Monthly plan TimingStock offers a 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee for the unused portion of the monthly billing cycle. Example, If you are a first time subscriber and you cancel after 15 days you will get a refund of $15  ($30 minus $15). After the 30 days there is no refund, and your account will be active until the end of your subscription period.

With the Yearly plan there is no 30-day trial. However, if you cancel in the middle of your subscription period, we will refund you the fees you have paid us minus $30 per each Month your membership was active. For example if you cancel after two Weeks you refund will be $269 if you cancel after four or six Weeks your refund will be $239.

As a new subscriber, should I act in the middle of an active signal?

Buying at the right price is an important factor to successfully execute our strategy. Therefore, if the active signal is far away from the entry point, you should not act on it; just wait for the next signal.  Although this might keep you on the sidelines for some time       (- Extremely profitable trades usually lasts 3 to 5 months -), still, since signals last for 28 days on average, most of the time it pays to wait.

At what time of day do you issue your signals?

Our signals are issued as soon as we get them, sometimes during the trading day. However, you do not have to check our site or your E-mail all day. If you do your trade at the next morning's open, you will achieve approximately the same results over the long run.

Do you include dividends (which are issued by certain ETFs) in your performance?

We do not include any dividends which you may receive during a Long Signal. Additionally, we do not include any money market interest that you receive when you are Cash. If you add the dividends and interest, TimingStocks’s total return is actually higher. You may click on the graphs in the Verification page to see our total return (with dividends and interest).    

TimingStock Strategy Questions

Why not just use a Buy-and-Hold strategy instead of a trading-the-market strategy?

In our opinion, a Buy and Hold strategy incurs too much downside risk, whereas with market-trading, when you are successful, your gain is much more, and your risk is substantially less. Please refer to our Risk Reduction page for a more details.

Do ETFs have the same risk as individual stocks?

No. It is less. Since ETFs are diversified portfolios, the investment is diversified between many companies; therefore the risk is lower than individual stocks. The risks of the ETFs we recommend are approximately the same as with mutual funds. (The "QQQQ" is comparable to a diversified technology fund, and to the Nasdaq Composite. The "IWM" is comparable to a diversified small cap fund and is comparable to the Russell 2000. The "SPY" is comparable to a well diversified mid-to-large cap fund and is comparable to the S&P 500. The "SMH" is comparable to a sector fund and it has more volatility than the other three ETFs).

Do ETFs  have the same risk as options or futures (commodities)?

No. It is much less. Keep in mind that when you buy ETFs, you actually own an asset which will flow along with the major indexes, as opposed when you buy options or futures, you own a instrument that will expire one day. In addition, options and futures are much more volatile, so when you experience a few losing trades you may lose all of the invested capital.

Can I use index based options along with your Model?

Any instrument that mirrors the broad based indexes fits well with our Model, however since there is a time factor involved with options, its difficult to figure out the bottom line past performance.

I have a high risk-tolerance, is there a way to apply your signals in a more aggressive way in order to maximize my returns?

Yes, you may use a "leverage" strategy. please click on the "what to trade" page for detailed information on how to use this strategy.
