Market Neutral Strategy
Market neutral strategies are
especially suitable for todays highly volatile and uncertain market environment. In
the following, we introduce a market neutral relative value trading strategy that
consistently generates attractive returns with relatively small risks. According to our
extensive statistical analyses and historical tests, the strategy can produce a yearly
return of 60% +- 17%. A real time trading system has been developed that can provide
up-to-the-minute equity trading buy/sell signals. We call this system the Smart
Trader 60.
