This is where most people will expect me to say that the SST SwingTrader will:
- make you a fortune or
- turn you into a multi-millionaire in a few months or
- at least allow you to immediately give up a full time job and trade for a living!
Well I'm NOT!
I think most people are a bit tired of outrageous claims like that and let's be honest, they are just not true. In reality the only way you will be convinced of the value of SST SwingTrader is to test it for yourself by using it for a reasonable period of time and monitoring your actual performance.
However, I understand that you need some reassurance before you go ahead - even with the free trial, so here are a few results for you to look at. They are actual screen shots from SwingTrader with no "photoshop editing".
Let's look at the US market example first. Below are the results of my watch list called "Good US". The period is mid April to mid May 08 - certainly not an exceptional period for any reason and I know it is out of date but it is shown purely as an example. At the bottom of this page are links to some later results if you wish to see them. I am afraid I do not intend to provide comprehensive up to date returns, that is not the point of this page. If you accept that the software is a good design then you need to test it for yourself to prove what returns you can make.
You can see that SwingTrader made 4,570 points profit. If you had gained $10 a point (or £10) you would have made over $45,000 (or £) gross. Please note that the results below do not include trading costs so you have to take that into account. The image below is exactly as it would appear in SwingTrader.
Now let's look at my UK watch list called "Best UK Stocks" below. It has a slightly different look because it is the printable version. You can see that the profit for the period mid Feb. to Mid March 08 was 785 points which at a £10 per point spread bet for example, would give £7,850 profit. As above, this is by no means an exceptional period and trading costs(spread) have not been taken into account.
Comparing UK and US results:
I often get emails from UK traders asking if they should switch to the US market as it seems more profitable because they see trades in thousands of points rather than the hundreds we see from UK stocks. The answer is that first you must trade the market that appeals to you the most - perhaps because you know it the best. The points made can be misleading because US stocks are far more expensive than UK stocks and therefore you are bound to see a much larger point swing in a day. However, this also means that stops have to be placed with a much bigger points risk and this must mean that position sizes must be smaller to have the same monetary risk. As an approximation your position size for a US stock would need to be a tenth of that in the UK. Looking at it another way a points gain on a UK stock of say, 60 would be the equivalent of 600 points (10 times) on a US stock to represent the same risk/reward ratio. |
Please give it a fair try!
Finally, the only thing I would ask is that you give it a fair try. With ANY trading strategy, it will go through good weeks and 'less good' weeks. No matter who you are, how good you are or what strategy you use, NOBODY CAN MAKE MONEY IF THE MARKET GOES SIDEWAYS and it happens from time to time. You have to let the averages work for you over time and it is extremely difficult to judge any trading strategy properly over a short period - I believe a fair time period is 3 months.
So please take the FREE trial period and if you feel it looks promising, try it for three months. I hope that by then you will be convinced of it's value to your trading on a longer term basis.
Some later results
From time to time I post up some later results on the links below. These results coincide with my newsletters that I send out to members and time only allows me to write these newsletters periodically but each time they include recently closed trades from SwingTrader.
The results below are shown in Excel and are in points won or lost. They are exactly as you would see them if you had been using SwingTrader. July and August were excellent months. The most recent period has been very difficult to trade due to short rises and retracements in the market. In spite of this SwingTrader has produced an overall profit of 5,309 points. Most trades are small profits and small losses with a few star performers. That is not unusual in trading and I would still consider these results good considering how difficult the market has been over the past 4 months. Use "Back" in your browser to return to this page.
