There is no right method or system that is correct for everyone.  We all have different goals, financial conditions, risk tolerances, and trading psyche’s to account for, while attempting to find the plan (strategy) that works best for each of us as an individual. The Prudent Trader’s work on methods and systems is an attempt to expose members to differing philosophies allowing you to choose the one or two that is appropriate for you. What is the best strategy for you?

The purpose of this new section of the Prudent Trader is to present a relative strength model as applied to Exchange Traded Funds (ETF).  Research on this subject has been presented and back tested from 1926.  To access this research “Click Here“.

The relative strength portfolios outperform the buy and hold benchmark in approximately 70% of all years and returns are persistent across time. The relative strength model is then tested across a portfolio of global asset class ETF’s.

What we are presenting is not an original and unique method for investing. Similar systems and techniques have been utilized for decades. The focus in this section is on the practitioner with real world applicability.

The particulars, ETF’s, asset classes, and potential portfolios are kept in a Google Spreadsheet along with the rules and model portolios.
