About this strategy

The New Gambler's trading system was formerly, The Short Bear. The name change better reflects the paradigm shift from investing to gambling in stocks. The system buys only leveraged long and inverted ETF's. It is suitable for members with a portfolio size of $100,000 or less. The system is the most aggressive of the 4 systems offered by Blackhorseshoe, using a proprietary waging system. The buy and sell signals are 100% mechanical. As of 12/28/11, the average winning percentage is 88% and average holding time under 5 days. The system was designed to seek an 80% winning percentage based on gambling strategies and analyzing the results of 10 million blackjack hands; mathematical probabilities; historical patterns; the psychology of human behavior; and a proprietary geometrically progressive tier down wagering system to aggressively capitalize on the system's extraordinary winning %. This is not a day trading or buy and hold strategy, and may not be suitable for the average person.

The system designer views the market as the World's Biggest Casino, the best place on planet earth to make money. For some insightful information, please visit us every night at the Sweet Spot. http://blackhorseshoe.org/THESWEET_SPOT.html

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
