So you want to know how the method can perform?  Here is the place to find out.  You won't find any curve fit backtests or 90 degree angle equity curve charts here.  Included below are recent manual backtesting of a months activity in a given market and timeframe.  The Synergy Trading Method is an approach, not a system so it MUST be manually backtested.  However, a couple words on the results.

First, our recommendation is always to trade multiple timeframes on the same market.  For example, if i'm trading the TF, I will be trading the 2 Minute chart, 233 Tick, 377 Tick, 512 Tick, 800 Tick, 1000 Tick, 1200 Tick 3 Minute, 5 Minute all at once.  As the word synergy implies, our methodology is more powerful with the combined effect of all these timeframes rather than each one separately.  In many instances losses that are included in these results have actually given "get to par" signals on another timeframe.  However, for the purpose of showing what individual signals on individual timeframes are capable of this information was ignored in these results.

Second, all of our results are within the realm of real fills.  Many educational providers have a nasty habit lying about getting filled at profit targets when in reality price would not guarantee a fill at that price.  For example, if their method was long and has a target in the TF at 554.10 and the market only traded to 554.10 they would claim their target got hit.  The reality is that unless the market trades through their price to 554.20 they aren't out of the market.  It is possible to fill at that price of 554.10 but it is unlikely.  These results only assume fills if price trades through our target.

Third, you aren't going to find anything showcased on this page that has a 100% win rate and 1 Billion dollars of profit inside of three days.  Trading is a profession that takes time and persistence.  Real trading incurs drawdowns, back to back losing trades, and weeks without profit (at least on a single timeframe).  Growth doesn't occur overnight even after you have the method down and can trade it correctly without fear or greed.  I've included the 2 Minute and 512 Tick chart results because they are two timeframes I use daily in the futures market and represent a nice solid intraday timeframe to trade.  By contrast I also included results from the 5 minute chart to show the difference in the amount of trades taken and the change in average winning and losing trades.

Forth, all of the exits included with these results assume a fill at the 2X's the initial risk.  Many trades easily could achieve 3X's their initial risk factor but to make the results as down to earth and realistic as possible the results simply assume a fill at our lowest profit target.

Fifth, if you're asking yourself "but there are X days in a row where there wasn't a trade on Y chart!?"  That's right, there isn't a trade on every chart, everyday.  Some days there are three trades on a single chart, but it all averages out.  When you trade with multiple timeframes they tend to mesh on top of each other quite well to produce 1-4 trades a day very easily.  More than enough for any trader to occupy themselves with!

Now onto the results!!!

A note on September 2009's Results

As you can see, this past month was a uphill battle in the TF.  I make no apologies or excuses for the results.  Seeing as we have chosen the TF as our vehicle for demonstration I see no reason to change that fact now.  This particular market, and this method hit a drawdown period.   Anyone who trades a method in the real world can attest that drawdowns are a reality and a part of trading.  There are two important factors to consider.  First, that this drawdown is relatively insignificant in comparison to the gains made in previous months.  Second, that while the TF was performing poorly this past month, other markets (like the currency futures and commodity markets) were performing phenomenally with the Synergy method.  Part of our recommendation in our course is  always to trade uncorrelated markets in conjunction with one another to act as a hedge against one another in their performance.  Our clients who did this had no problem remaining firmly profitable over the past month.

What happens when you combine timeframes?

As I mentioned above the Synergy Method advocates trading multiple timeframes of the same market.  So what happens when you combine a bunch of charts of the same market?  Well since I was already looking at TF data I started tracking results over the past week of the most recent market activity through today when this page was created (7/30).  Again, the results are positive and pretty consistent over the week long stretch.  Do you catch everything in the market?  Nope.  Catch enough?  You bet.

 Conclusion:

You don't need fancy charts and squiggly lines to make money.  When is the last time you grew you're account 35% in one week?  If you can beat it with another method then you don't need our course.  Just make sure you drop me an email and tell me about it and i'll shut this website down tomorrow!  We don't participate in massive trend moves, we aren't in the market with open positions 95% of the day, but what we can do is exploit the exact point on the charts where a market shift is occurring and get in on it before everyone else does.  Is this method the holy grail?  NO!  But it can certainly improve your odds of success trading professionally.
