Trading Description:
The main system - STAIRS - is a Proprietary Counter Trend methodology that trades the SP500. This system determines the intermediate Trend and takes advantage of the Trend Decay that occurs during this cycle. Historically it has been profitable on over 64% of it's trades.

Risk Strategy:

Being a Counter Trend system the Stairs methodology employs several stop methods to manage risk during those times of the year that the underlying market has a substained trend. During these times of substained Trends the system will take a loss and sit on the sideline until a signal in the opposite direction occurs.
