Here’s another example of a Smart Volume Analysis Catalyst Signal using two distinct methods for trading (Explained in our client documents) All trades are considered/taken save those with warnings.  The screenshots details the results.

One Catalyst Signal (Smart Upthrust) One Chart Using Smart Advisor – One method nets 40 pips – Another method nets 173 pips

Text from screenshot:

One Catalyst Signal (Smart Upthrust) on One Chart Using Smart Advisor. One method nets 40 pips. Another method nets 173 pips

This chart looks at one signal. There are many others but for this article only the Smart Upthrust is looked at. The Smart Upthrust is a very strong weakness signal but when some warnings are present will almost always fail. When using EOM Targets each trade with no warnings was closed at target except one for a combined total of 40 pips. Signal to signal as a method would have netted approximately 173 with no losses and one trade possibly still on (total assumes close prior to weekend) at the time the screenshot was taken.

No Warning Present:
1. Profitable (EOM and STS)
2. Profitable (EOM and STS)
3. Profitable (EOM and STS)
4. Profitable (EOM and STS)
5. Fails on EOM 4 Step Trade four but continues using STS and is profitable for approximately 50 pips

Warning Present
6. Fails with Warning Trade not taken.
7. Fails with Warning Trade not taken.
8. Fails with Warning Trade not taken.
9. Fails with Warning Trade not taken.
10. I missed this one on the chart originally so it’s out of order. This one worked even with warning which happens at times of course. Just as some trades with no warnings fail occasionally. Personally with my experience on these signals (One of my favorites) I would likely have taken this short anyway.

You can clearly see the difference in how each signal reacted and why the Smart Advisor warnings are so important.

Trading Smart and the Smart Advisor:

Our Smart Volume Analysis Software (Smart Trader) shows you very quickly and effortlessly which patterns are valid, what their profit targets are thanks to our proprietary EOM concepts and the Smart Advisor module, the software even warns you of potential dangers based on our research and experience which include the easily observable rules within the advisor module as shown in the above examples. That said… I would add that while your percentage of winning trades will no doubt be much higher once applying our concepts and methods, we recognized that certain patterns need additional scrutiny before a trade could be placed.  In  our own trading and the development of Smart Volume Analysis, we found time and time again even though the win rate was very high for our valid signals, there were times that they didn’t work. As patterns emerged I was interested in identifying and cataloging these conditions so that I could avoid trades that would likely fail. Much of my initial research lead to our Dead Zone concept which improved our trading quite a bit on it’s own but that wasn’t enough. I found certain signals in a certain spot would almost never work no matter how good the signal was. These observations became the basis for what I trained many clients to look out for in the free live rooms but it’s difficult to remember these guidelines when following multiple charts. Many signals had different guidelines and we needed a way to easily report these right on the chart and in real time.  This is why our Smart Advisor Module was created. Every Smart Volume Analysis signal that appears is analysed instantly by Smart and the output if needed is available instantaneously on your chart based on our observations for that particular pattern (See example #2) . If there are no warnings, the trade is deemed safe and has a very high chance of working as expected and in hitting it’s EOM (Profit Target Levels).

As you would imagine, some warnings are stronger than others. Each warning and it’s meaning is detailed within the client documentation site so that you can familiarize yourself with them and begin applying these guidelines to improve your trading in a very short time.
