Do you have performance results over the years of the Pocket Pivot Review and the Buyable Gap Ups ?
Performance is highly dependent on the health of the general market. In practice, the success rate tends to be better than that of base breakouts since buying on a breakout is often too late.
We have also modified our suggested entry with pocket pivots to buying on constructive weakness after the pocket pivot has occurred. This minimises any losses such that we are able to keep sell stops to typically less than 3%.
Performance results applies to the various strategies on our site that are intermediate term strategies which tend to perform well during bull markets. On the other hand, day and swing trading strategies can be employed in any market.
Another key performance determinant is one’s style of trade in terms of their risk tolerance, position size, whether they pyramid, etc.
