About ETFNavigator

ETFNavigator is an easy to follow ETFs timing, ranking and hedging system. Here is a list of the services we are performing and a short explanation on how they are done:

Market timing: We use ten technical indicators applying different weight to each to determine the market condition in the Long term and intermediate term whether it is positive, neutral, or negative. The results of analysis are the basis of our timing allocations as shown in the following table:

The indicators we use include among others trend following, relative strength, volatility, market breadth, and market sentiment.

Conservative timing consider only the long term signals, aggressive timing consider only the intermediate term signals, while moderate timing considers both intermediate and long term signals.

Sector and International ETFs timing: Sixteen main sectors are included. Ten main International ETFs are included; the BRIC countries and broad regions.

Currencies, bonds, and commodities ETFs Timing: All major currencies are included. Different durations and types of bonds are included such as long term bonds and TIPS. Gold, silver, and many other commodities are timed too.

ETFs Group Ranking: Weekly Relative strength is used to determine the relative ranking of different ETFs groups including:

1-Bonds ranking: will determine wither long term, intermediate term, or short term bonds are performing better, included also corporate bonds and the inflation adjusted Lehman TIPs.

2-Currency ETFs ranking: includes all major currencies; this ranking can be used for trading; going Long the best ranked and Short the worst ranked. Currency ranking is as an added tool for choosing which International ETFs to go long or Short; when a country has a strong currency it is ETF is more likely to perform better than a country with weak currency. Finally the ranking is very good tool for trading the FOREX.

3-Market ETFs ranking: includes 15 ETFs the small, the large, and the midcap wither growth or value, wither NYSE based or Nasdaq.

What does it take to be successful with us?

1) Confidence: You need to trust our systems. We are giving you a two months trial to build this trust. Small loses are to be expected sometimes, but we don't accept large losses or drawdown.

2) Ignore Others: Many times we are at odd with what is recommended at business media, you may hear a strategic investment advisor at a large institution recommending to back up the truck and load on stocks because the market is about to rocket up, while we are shorting the market.

3) Discipline: Stick to the system at all times even if you are feeling some pain from a loosing position. You are with us for the long haul, we want to preserve capital and let profits run. If you prefer to put a stop loss then let it be a 5% trailing stop loss. We don't want you to close a position when it is about to turn in your favor. We don't want you to take profit prematurely, we want profits to run.

4) Best time to start: Initiate positions only when there is a change in signal or allocation. Later entry away from signal price carries higher risk. You need to trade every new signal we issue; the signal or trade you miss may turn out to be the most profitable one.
