Data is currently only US and CANADA Stocks and ETFs.
CANADA Symbols add .TO and .TX for Toronto and TSX Exchanges.
Clicking on any symbol or row will take you to the charts page. This page is called Stock Analysis
All data is at least 15 min delayed.
All screens are synced with the current day's trading at 7:30 PM EST, that's 4:30PM PST and 5:30PM MST. This means if you are on the site before that time the tabs and screens will be showing the previous trading day signals. Remember that the chart page will show the current day trading signal. The Chart and tab screens are synced for the current trading day after 7:30 PM EST
Signals are EOD (End-of-Day) on the screens and tabs as of the previous trading day.
EOD is (End-of-Day) data. This means that after the stock market has closed, signals are determined for the next trading day. End of day signal trades are then made at the market open the text trading day.
Signals are based on our proprietary indicator of price trend. It combines 6 or 7 technical indicators into a more useful format.
If US markets are open, charts will show the current trading day signal and can be different than that shown on screen pages. Trend Signals current day, 15 min delayed. This signal can change on column displays during the trading day. Top Stocks and Top ETF's Tabs are predefined screens. Criteria for the screens are shown at the bottom of each tab.
A HOLD signal is a warning signal. If you own the stock don't sell it yet, If you don't own it don't buy it yet. If you just sold the stock and now there is a hold signal this is telling you to add it to your watch list for later, or move along to another stock trade.
If a chart loads blank, click on update or refresh, if it does not load we don't have data for the stock chart. It still may have a quote, but there may not be enough price history to plot the chart signals.
If Rank Says NR or Not Ranked it is Not Ranked. Stocks and ETF's are only ranked if over $5 and older than 1 year from issue date. Stocks under $5 are not ranked and will display a rank of 0.
Rank is the rank of the stock or ETF vs. its peers. For example a Rank of 98 means the stock or ETF is out performing 98% of its peers over a 12 month period. A rank of 2 means the stock or ETF is outperforming 2% of its peers, in other words, 98% of its peers are out performing it. 98 is good, 2 is not so good. The current quarter is 40% of the weighting, so current performance is more significant to the rank. Stocks are ranked against stocks and ETF's are ranked against other ETF's.
Short Term Trends are the 7-10 day trend.
Long Term Trends are the 180 day trend.
Signals generally provide a 6-8 week trade.
Most stocks and ETF's get 4-6 long (buy the stock or ETF on buy signal and sell on the sell signal) trade signals per year.
Basic trade strategy is buy the day after a buy signal is given, then sell the day after the sell signal is given. The opposite can be done in the case of shorting stocks.
Trades can be exited on a new Sell signal. Trailing stop losses are recommended.
Currency and Futures data is not supported, but is in the works.
Hong Kong, Europe and other international data is currently not available, but in the works.

Market Trend Signal™ (MTS™) is a trading system used to implement the concepts of trend following. MTS™ is a systematic trading application that searches for qualified, high-ranking stocks, gives traders specific trade entry and exit signals, and provides traders with insight and strategy to confidently trade stocks, ETFs and Forex profitably. It has been proven that traders gain a much higher probability of having successful, profitable trades when trading in the same direction of the market, and when using a fixed set of rules.
Trend following is a reactive trading method. It does not anticipate a move before it happens. It does not forecast or predict future price levels or price movements. It involves a risk management system that uses the current market-driven price direction. Trend trading requires that you have strict discipline to follow precise rules. Trend followers use an initial risk rule that determines the size of their position at the time of entry. This means you know exactly how many shares of stock to buy or sell based on how much money you have. Changes in price may lead to an increase or decrease of your initial trade. Adverse price movements may lead to an exit for your entire trade. This can take place in a week or in a year, depending on the strength of the trend.
MuscleStocks™ are not only specific kinds of stocks we are looking to trade, they are also the name of a group of predefined screens on the MTS™ system. These screen types also include Smooth Sailin, New Buys, Muscle Minis, Muscle Break Outs, Weaklings, Spring Loaded, and Bottoms UP. In this chapter, I will explain these and what each one offers. All MuscleStocks are Buy rated stocks whose price is greater than five dollars with a StrengthRank™ of 98 and an average volume of at least two hundred thousand. These stocks are the cream of the crop in the MTS™ system.

the best and only way to protect yourself from a large price gap lower is to either be in cash or own a put option against stock shares you own. As the stock drops in value the put options will go up in value. Stop losses will not protect against large price gaps lower.
This means there has not been a loser in the period backtested.
We do not provide other indicators on our charts because we feel that in many cases they can create over analysis of a stock trade. Our algorithms take into account most trending, strength,volatility and reversal indicators.
The signal is entirely statistically and technically driven. There may be news in the market place that would seem to be good or bad, but Markets are always forward looking by 3-6 months. This means that the news we are hearing about now was anticipated or reacted upon by stocks 3 or more months ago. Our algorithm is proprietary and fully based on technical analysis, and it does contain elements of trend, sentiment and reversal risk indicators. The method assumes that the market always knows best. As it trends higher we will trust that direction until it is proven wrong, which would happen by a new move lower. We would do the opposite in a down market. Our indicators use S&P 500 as the basis for all calculations.
Expectancy tells you what you can expect to make (win or lose) for every dollar risked. Casinos make money because the expectancy of every one of their games is in their favor. Play long enough and you are expected to lose and they are expected to win because the "odds" are in their favor. Most games at a casino are completed in a short period of time so they can increase their odds of winning. The same holds true for investing. If your expectancy is positive; you can make more money with multiple trades in shorter periods of time.
Disclaimer: There is no guarantee past performance will be indicative or future results. No assurance can be given that any implied recommendation will be profitable or will not be subject to losses. All Clients should understand that the results of a particular period will not necessarily be indicative of results in future periods. The results and examples used in our advertisements, books, videos, websites or any other media are based on hypothetical trades. Plainly speaking, these trades were not actually executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated trades do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, results may have overcompensated or undercompensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as lack of liquidity. Clients may have done better or worse than the results portrayed. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. No independent party has audited the hypothetical performance contained at this Web site, nor has any independent party undertaken to confirm that they reflect the trading method under the assumptions or conditions specified hereafter. While the results presented at this Web site are based upon certain assumptions believed to reflect actual trading conditions, these assumptions may not include all variables that will affect, or have in the past affected the execution of trades indicated by Market Trend Signal. Results do not account for commissions or slippage. Because Clients may be involved in trades at different times and may use various exit approaches, they may or may not have received the best available price on the purchase or the sale of a position. The simulation assumes purchase and sale prices believed to be attainable. In actual trading, prices received may or may not be the same as the assumed order prices. The 90% accuracy discussed in the letter represents 9 out of 10 MuscleStocks having a positive 5 year back tested annual trade expectancy.
