Quantitative ETF

The model utilizes quantitative methods of analysis from pairs trading to trend following price physics, capital management arbitrage, risk management arbitrage, and statistical analysis.

The model will trade only ETFs.
The model trades price swings of the market, and will look to capitalize on volatility-based overbought, and oversold conditions, including pairs trades and other price action such as trend following. Statistically, the manager has found that a combination of these two characteristics produces optimal results.

This model will trade long, short and inverse ETFs.
eSignal premier for real time data, and MultiCharts to create backtestable portfolios and methodologies.
Short-term positions, primarily in the technology sector, will typically last a few days. Long-term positions, in order to achieve broader market exposure will typically last from a few weeks to a few months.

Large amounts of capital will be allocated to shorter term opportunities. Note that this model will not day trade.
The sell discipline is determined by profit/loss, quantitative analysis, and determination of overvaluation whereas entries are met with a determination of undervaluation.
None.
