When the market has a few down days (especially severe down days – and several in a row), it is easy to get discouraged and bail out of stock trading systems that have proven themselves in the past. Why? Because, stock trading creates high levels of emotions, both good and bad. And, sometimes the down-side emotional roller coaster just seems to dominate the stock trading game.
Our systems are 100% mechanical – designed to take the emotional weight out of stock trading. But they only do this successfully if we don’t fight the systems and don’t take the day to day (and even week to week sometimes) fluctuations to heart. Slow and steady wins the race goes the old saying. If the more aggressive systems seem to hard to follow, the monthly systems provide more steady returns with more risk-avoidance built in.
