We found a bearish trade on $MCD using Chaikin sector and industry analysis.  It's a great way to put the odds in your favor. 

...what do the metrics on the Chaikin platform say about likely near term market direction?

Put on some new trades this week.  Also, had my first small loser.  So far though the strategy is working out every bit as well with real trading as the back-test implied. 

We changed our rules and back-tested the same liquid, optionable stock watch list hoping to raise our expectancy from the 8% we got in backtest 1.   Did the refinement enhance our performance?  Watch this week's video.

We've been crunching the numbers on about 90 trades and.... finally..... have an expectancy for Chaikin Analytics' Momentum Breakout bullish trading signal.  If the backtest shows promise, we'll begin forward testing the strategy with defined-risk options.  So far,  two strategies -- Oversold Buy and Relative Strength Sell -- tested out with positive expectancies, and we're in the process of trading them in real time now.  Will Momentum Breakout prove itself worthy  too?  Just click the image below to watch the results from the first of 2 sets of rules we tested.
