Stop-Loss Techniques and Trade Alert – Market Direction Portfolio

Jan 17, 2014 | Stock Market Outlook

This is an trade alert and an article for FullyInformed Members on stop-loss techniques to consider using, who are following the Market Direction Portfolio. After studying the market direction portfolio against 2011 and 2012 I found a number of techniques that can assist in allowing investors to continue to profit with the market direction portfolio and put in place a degree of safety to try to maximize potential returns.

This is a change to the portfolio’s method of trading and it may have to be used for much of this year to allow the portfolio to earn bigger returns while protecting capital at risk. So far this year the Market Direction Portfolio is up 7.4% while the Dow index is up just 0.17% since the close of Jan 2 2014.
