Trend Following Works

I have been trading stocks, options, currencies and commodities for more than 25 years. I developed simple trend following systems that trade with the trend. When the price trend is up I buy and when the price trend is down I sell short. Now even though this concept sounds very simple it really works.

I recommended going short most of the global markets to my GPS Advisory Service members in August of 2008 and stayed short most markets until mid March of 2009 when we reversed and went long most markets. Over the past year this produced a $424,858.16 closed trade profit (before commissions) with an average monthly return of 58.8% for my advisory service members.

The overall goal of the GPS Advisory Service is to maintain a 3 to 1 or higher profit to loss ratio. The profit to loss ratio is a good measurement of risk adjusted return. Over the past year the advisory service produced total profits of $469,296.80 and total losses of $44,438.64. Dividing the total profits by total losses resulted in a 10.5 to 1 profit to loss ratio with more than 10 dollars of profit for each 1 dollar of loss. The 58.8% average monthly return and the high profit to loss ratio demonstrates the ability of the GPS Strategies to deliver an excellent risk adjusted return.
