Trading System
The system that we use for trade recommendations is a hybrid method in which we combine fundamental data with three primary technical studies. We look at fundamental data for the "big" picture, which we weave into our technical studies. These studies help us identify key pivot points. They also provide us with the timing for entrance and exits of trades, as well as stop placements.
The three technical methods we combine are Japanese Candlesticks, Elliot wave theory and Fibonacci retracement.
