Every investor and trader hashis/her own tolerance for risk and expectations for reward. Selecting a strategy that is best for you should be done with the advice of a skilled investment professional that understands your personal financial situation, your investment goals and objectives, and your personal timelines. This site does not offer investment advice based upon your personal financial situation and cannot guide you as to which strategy is best for you. Our Model ignores the adverse tax consequences associated with short-term capital gains. Tax implications are a critical component of any investment strategy. Therefore, depending on the strategy you choose to implement, it is possible that any trading activity could result in a taxable event and result in lower investment return. Tacticaltradingsignal.com's trading model is run real-time each trading day. If a new signal is issued, it will be posted on this Web site the same day. Subscribers are also notified of the signal change by e-mail by 7 pm CMT that same day.
If your selected investment vehicle is an ETF, your order should be placed before the market opens on the next trading day. Since ETFs trade like stock, they can be bought or sold at market open. This site assumes if the signal is issued after the close of the market, then ETF trading occurs at market open, the day after a signal change. This is the only realistic way to measure performance, as you could not possibly have acted on the new signal any earlier.
If your selected investment vehicle is a mutual fund, your order should be placed before or during the trading hours of the day following the signal change. Since most mutual fund families only calculate the Net Asset Value (NAV) at the end of each trading day, this ensures that you will buy the mutual fund at the first available price. This is a significant difference between ETFs and mutual funds: whereas you can buy an ETF right at market open, you in effect have to wait until market close to buy an equivalent mutual fund. Over time the performance impact of the one day delay should be fairly minor but, nevertheless, you should be on the lookout for fund families that are starting to offer intra-day mutual fund pricing.
While many trading systems tout their successful track records, few want to talk about what happens during the systems losing periods. Before you adopt any strategy with your own capital, make sure you understand the historical risks to capital, either real or hypothetical. This should help you and your investment professional understand whether you can stick with any investment or trading strategy.
Selecting a strategy designed for your investment profile is the job of an investment advisor or professional and you should consult with your investment advisor before trading any system.
