This System Turned $1,000 Into $250,000

In This Episode

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Keith Kaplan back to the show. Keith is the CEO of our corporate affiliate TradeSmith. And he's excited to share a breakthrough technology that he and his team have worked tirelessly to develop...

Keith kicks off the show by discussing how you can use TradeSmith's new software to leverage stocks and short-term moves in order to generate income. This is where understanding seasonality comes in – both market seasonality and an individual stock's seasonality. Keith uses Tesla as an example and breaks down how he made 50% short-term gains just from reviewing past data trends. He notes that TradeSmith's data gets updated constantly, so if patterns change, users will know. After running 2.2 quintillion market tests, the TradeSmith team found the most optimal seasonality periods for 5,000 individual stocks and funds. And the numbers speak for themselves...

We got to an 82.83% win rate – so more than 4 out of 5 winners. Our median trade was about 6%. Our days held was, on average, 15 trading days. So that's about three weeks. And we turned $10,000 into $85,700 over 18 years.

Next, Keith goes further in depth about how the system works – including sending entry and exit alerts for each position – and how human biases come into play. He emphasizes that this tool is made for investors all across the interaction spectrum... So you can have TradeSmith fish for you and tell you which stocks to buy, or you can do the fishing yourself and use the system to research stocks, or a combination of the two. Keith also explores how TradeSmith's team looks at past cyclical patterns to select the best stocks...

We have an analyst that's sort of at the helm of that. And he is looking at broad market things that are happening with seasonality and cycles and giving you write-ups weekly about that. He then has trades that he favors personally... but not from a fundamental perspective. He's looking at short-term gains based on different cyclical patterns, based on different technical factors, and so forth. But then he's helping us to sort of [navigate] this portfolio of trades where he's telling you why the system picked the trade and entry point and exit point.

Finally, Keith shares how the algorithm works for options trading. In testing, it turned $1,000 into $250,000 over 16 years. Keith urges listeners to try the system with conservative position sizing and see for themselves the stellar results they'll get. It's all available in the Trade Cycles newsletter by TradeSmith. And as Keith hammers home, this technology is very advanced...

No two stocks or funds are the same. So no two algorithms end up being the same for them.
