A couple of months ago, as we’re witnessing the largest wealth destruction in financial history, we too can feel the pain that many investors/traders had been suffering, and we’ve said that: “we wish that we could paint a perfect roadmap for all of us to trade by.” And here we are, we’ve finally came up with a “Trading Map“. It’s nowhere near perfect and still in progress and we plan to update/improve it constantly over time to serve prospective and new subscribers, though after a couple of thorough back-test, the system appeared to work very well. 

The concept here is very simple - we all know that we will lose money if we’re betting against the ‘Big Money’ (Institutional Investors). And thus we’ve all realized that it’s important that we’re moving with the trend - following the action of what Institutional Investors are doing. Since these guys are responsible for more than half of the daily trading volume. They are the deciding force and direction of the overall market.

Although it’s easy to say than do because the BIG question is “how do we know in which direction are the big money going?” After toying with the “Accumulation/Distribution” concept, we came up with simple ‘Trading Map‘, which simply tells us when to get in and out of a particular asset class.

Below is the ‘Trading Map' chart going back to 2003. For the sake of simplification, we’re only illustrates 2 main types of assets class: stocks and bonds. It is easy to read: if the green bars are above zero, then Institutions were in Accumulation, so we’d be better off buying stocks. And if the bars are red and below zero, then Institutional Investors were in Distribution and thus we should sell stocks and/or long bonds.

As you can see, the “Trading Map” was screaming SELL or stay away from stocks in late 2007. So, the message is clear: you have to invest in the SAME direction as the Institutions, and never go against them. If you are buying when they are selling, you will lose!

By the way, our “Trading Map” is the ideal trading tool for ETF traders. It’s designed to help traders to become more consistent and more confident. It’s capable of: detecting the direction of “big money” flow, forecast the near-term trading range, and sector rotation.

The Strategy:

While outperformance does not necessarily translate into absolute gains, particular in weak market and we’re in that type of environment right now, but it suggests that there are better opportunities in this particular sector or assets class as compare to the boarder market or other assets classes.  (Click here for a list of U.S. ETF family tree.)

For example, if stocks outperformed bonds, then we can simply buy SPDR S&P 500 (SPY).  And if bonds outperformed  stocks then we simply buy the iShares Agg Bond Fund (AGG) or other Bond/Fix income ETFs.

Conclusions for an index are the overall strategy relating to that market. This does not mean that every sector of the market should be treated in the same fashion. There may be some sectors  which trend in the opposite direction to the general market. If the overall strategy is short, there may still be opportunities to go long in some sectors or stocks that trend counter to the general market.
