I've been using The Trading Digest Portfolio for 7 months now. Wow! The 40%+ return has definitely helped boost the portfolio. It is easy to use. Orders can be placed the night before so perfect for West Coasters. The key to the system is to follow the system. No matter what. No one wants to be in a losing trade, but the winners here easliy surpass the losers. Only if you follow the signals. EASY. I highly recommend this system and to stick with it.. don't give up after the free trial ...this is a long term strategy using swing trades building wealth one day at a time. You soon will be "not hurting".

It's a pleasure to work with people that understand system trading requires dedication and at times sitting through periods that are not at equity highs. I am glad all the hard work has rewarded you. Thanks for the kind comments.

I am not a trader (yet), but wanted to learn about it. I found Dave's Blog and followed along for a few months before becomming a subscriber to his system. Working full time hinders my ability to follow along during the day, so entering the orders the night before the next days trading session is a big plus for me. The system is very realistic, the fills match the C2 indicated fills. I have been very happy with the performance thus far (March 2007). It is certainly a system to trade for the long term (which suits my approach to the markets)!

I've subscribed to The Trading Digest for some time now. The trades are very easy to follow and place since they all arrive before the market open. My fills are almost identical. Position sizing and risk management are very simple, but also very effective. Just an excellent system.

I'd like to thank you for being a subscriber and give you a 5 star review as well. Thumbs Up.

System Description







The Trading Digest system is a long only, swing trading equity portfolio system. Unlike many other systems, The Trading Digest system is designed to operate as an entire portfolio, complete with position sizing and strong risk management. Along with each signal, we include the percentage of the portfolio each position should be. This makes it extremely easy to obtain the same results in your real portfolio. The portfolio can hold up 8 positions and can go up to 100% cash

All entries and exit are at market open, making it easy to trade for customers unable to watch the market during the day. We also limit our list of potential equities to only the most liquid to reduce the impacts of slippage or our orders impacting the market. We have also taken steps to limit the total number of subscribers to the system to prevent too many orders being placed for the same symbol.

This is not a system aiming make 150% a year with a high chance of blowing up, it is a robust system aimed to significantly outperform the S&P 500 while maintaining reasonable risk parameters. The system has been traded in realtime and extensively backtested across many types of market conditions with very very strong results with good drawdown to return ratios.

Additional information about the system is available at our blog at
