Market Direction Portfolio Up 5.7% in March and 21.5% Since Jan 2 2014

Apr 3, 2014 | Stock Market Outlook

The Dow Jones Index opened the year on Jan 2 at 16,572.17. On April 2 the Dow closed at 16,573.00 virtually unchanged from the open on Jan 2. Meanwhile through the use of the Ultra ETFs the market direction portfolio is up an impressive 21.5% over the same period and earned 5.7% in March alone. This portfolio is designed to take advantage of movements in the Dow Jones Index and trades through the use of the Ultra ETFs. It uses the ProShares UltraPro Dow 30 ETF for upside moves. Its trading symbol is UDOW and it attempts to provide 3X the daily move of upside moves in the Dow. It then uses the ProShares UltraShort Dow 30 ETF for downside moves. Its trading symbol is DXD and it attempts to provide 2X the daily move of downside moves in the Dow.

Through a careful strategy that builds on intraday support levels, this portfolio has the potential to provide impressive returns no matter which way the Dow Index 30 stocks move.

FullyInformed members who are following the market direction portfolio or who are interested in learning more about the portfolio should check the trades from Jan 2 to April 2. Trades have a variety of links to strategy discussion articles that detail out the method used, stop-loss settings and discussions of adjustments and alterations to the strategy to continue to tweak the strategy to the point where returns are fine tuned and eventually will reach full potential.

April 2 Market Direction Portfolio Trade

The trade on April 2 is just the second trade in over a month where the trade has been carried forward overnight. This trade I am hoping will follow the Dow Index higher and capture three times the return of the index itself.
