SAI Strategies

October 20, 2014 by Daniels Trading

Institutional Grade Trading Systems

Professional traders know that markets move based on the dynamics of “money flow”. The flow of funds in and out of markets is what dictates the direction of price and it’s associated momentum. To be successful the trader needs to be aware of these dynamics and be placed ahead of the market in anticipation of forthcoming price moves.

SAI uses proprietary algorithms to measure the current period’s money flow and produces a price indicator for the trader for the subsequent trading period, therefore enabling them to place orders for entry and exit ahead of time. The SAI algorithm produces signals across monthly, weekly and daily timeframes.

Technical analysis of markets can be a complex process, SAI handles this complexity for you and distills the markets into very simple and easy to manage signals that allows you to focus on risk and money management.

The SAI indicator consists of a Buy Line, Sell Line and four directional targets per side. The distance between the Buy and Sell Line is the “neutral zone” where money flow is considered to be “in balance”. The trader therefore places orders to go long at the Buy line and short at the Sell Line, the trade is managed in accordance with the associated profit targets and stops trailed each time a target is hit. Risk is therefore clearly defined and the method for money management built into the algorithm.

The SAI Elite Aggressive and Elite Conservative are trend following signals with dynamic Buy and Sell signals that aim to keep you in a trend for as long as the trend is active.

SAI should be applied to a portfolio of instruments that have no strong correlation therefore diversifying risk and reducing exposure to any market that enters into a non-directional phase.

This report is a review of some of the trades in progress for the monthly and weekly timeframes of the SAI Indicator and also the Elite Aggressive and Elite Conservative.

STOP ORDERS DO NOT NECESSARILY LIMIT YOUR LOSS TO THE STOP PRICE BECAUSE STOP ORDERS, IF THE PRICE IS HIT, BECOME MARKET ORDERS AND, DEPENDING ON MARKET CONDITIONS, THE ACTUAL FILL PRICE CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM THE STOP PRICE. IF A MARKET REACHED ITS DAILY PRICE FLUCTUATION LIMIT, A "LIMIT MOVE", IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXECUTE A STOP LOSS ORDER.


HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

SAI subscribers receive their order levels by either downloading the “Order Sheets” from the SAI Website or they are subscribed to a broker or charting vendor that has formed a relationship with SAI. SAI has then coded their platform so that the trader can see the Monthly or Weekly signals clearly represented on their charts. Examples are provided below from a third party vendor charting package on one of our Broker relationship platforms. At this stage the Elite method is only available from the downloaded order sheets on the website.

sai-exampl

The first chart is from the 3rd party charting vendor. It clearly shows the Buy and Sell lines with their related four target levels.

sai-chart-sample

Essentially, SAI is a Forward / Pre-Predictive Technology that pre-forecasts the levels for either 1 week or 1 month. These numbers are provided upfront in advance, producing precise entry and exit levels as shown.

SAI Indicator Weekly Levels for Corn

sai-zcz4

SAI Indicator Monthly Levels for Corn

The initial long achieved Target 2 (T2) and 3.4600. We assume 40% profit on Target 1 (T1) and 20% at Target 2 (T2), and placed a flattening stop at entry.

sai-gclx4

SAI Indicator Monthly signals for C. Oil

Went long and assumed 40% profit on T1, and placed a flattening stop at entry. We then went short and assumed profits on T1 40% and an additional 20% on T2, placing a flattening stop at the entry level. We were then triggered long on the second touch of the buy stop line, however were stopped and immediately reversed as it hit the sell stop line for a sizeable down move as shown above.

sai-zbz4

SAI Indicator Weekly signal for T-Bonds

Traders entered Long at 141^28 and assumed 40% profits on T1 and an additional 20% on T2. The stop on the remaining open positions stands at the entry, with additional take profits set on the pre-forecasted levels as you can see above.

STOP ORDERS DO NOT NECESSARILY LIMIT YOUR LOSS TO THE STOP PRICE BECAUSE STOP ORDERS, IF THE PRICE IS HIT, BECOME MARKET ORDERS AND, DEPENDING ON MARKET CONDITIONS, THE ACTUAL FILL PRICE CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM THE STOP PRICE. IF A MARKET REACHED ITS DAILY PRICE FLUCTUATION LIMIT, A "LIMIT MOVE", IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXECUTE A STOP LOSS ORDER.

IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

sai-zbz4-2

SAI Indicator Monthly signals for T-Bonds

As you can see above, we are long on the monthly after the Buy Stop was triggered. T4 has been achieved at 127 ticks. Profit was available to take at T1, T2 and T3 & T4, and these are described in the User Guide on the SAI website. This is a text book scenario!

SAI Elite Aggressive

This is a Predictive Technology that provides precise levels for the entire week, upfront in advance. It is designed for investors with a long term bias, trading with the long term trends. The daily stop moves dynamically in the direction of the trade, enabling the system to guide an investor to capture at least 70% of any well defined move in the market. This method is available for members in the Members Area of the SAI site.

SAI Elite Conservative

This is a slower Predictive Technology that provides precise levels for the entire week, upfront in advance. It is designed for investors with a Very long term bias, trading with the even longer term slower trends than the Aggressive method. Like the Aggressive system, the daily stop moves dynamically in the direction of the trade, enabling the system to guide an investor to capture at least 70% of any well defined move in the market. This method is available for members in the Members Area of the SAI site.
