Welcome
Daily Trading Signals
Here you will find daily trading signals for a few automated portfolios of ETFs. Both are designed to be cheap, no nonsense and easy to follow for the self directed investor.
Methodology
A variety of internal automated strategies are used to generate trading signals for these portfolios. There are no discretionary trades. All trades and signals are generated by coded algorithm. No second guessing or opinionated trades are taken. Trades are long only keeping things simple and tradeable in IRA, cash or margin accounts.
The Playground portfolio uses a combination of wavelets and other statistical methods to identify good daily entries and exits.
The Sandbox portfolio uses only wavelet methods to identify good daily entries and exits.
The Sleep Well portfolio uses a momentum type of indicator with minimum variance allocation to generate weekly trading positions and is intended to be traded at the open on the first trading day of the week.
The Insomniac portfolio is simply the same as Sleep Well but using some leveraged ETFs.
The use of leveraged and un-leveraged ETFs are targeted for being cost-effective, highly liquid, and easily accessible across most brokerage platforms. All positions and adjustments are taken at the open.
What you get
Prior to the daily trading session, an email detailing the allocation the portfolios will transition to at the next open.
Both Playground and Sandbox portfolios emit daily signals, while SleepWell and Insomniac trade weekly. While we’re not financial advisors or fiduciaries, this is how we invest a hunk of our money.
