How Our System Works

At Dynamic Stops, we've taken a sophisticated set of technical analysis rules and programmed them into our proprietary platform to produce an intelligent stop-loss system that will generate the highest return with the least amount of risk.

Each day our robust platform calculates sophisticated quantitative analytics while simultaneously evaluating historical trends. The outcome is a system that is able to dynamically detect when a sustainable trend is most likely to begin (and end).


Reduce Portfolio Risk

Even though stock funds have made money over the years, many of the people who bought them managed to lose money. According to a study by Morningstar, the returns of over 200 stock funds during a five year period ending March of 1994 were analyzed. The average fund return was 12.5% but the average return of the investor's portfolio was -2.2%. The reason was their emotions caused them to buy high and sell low…exactly the opposite of what you should do. Too many investors wait for the market to pick-up before getting in and then panic when the market declines (see chart below).

Unfortunately, following your emotions in this manner is a sure path to failure. Too many people react to news about stocks reaching their all-time highs. Then what psychologists refer to as "Greed" takes over and people want to get in on the action and buy, only to find out they bought at the top and the next thing they know it's going down again. Then out of "Fear" they sell at a loss. Emotions often make us do exactly the opposite of what we should do in the stock market!


Increase Portfolio Return

Using our system for both the entry and exit points provide results that are both less risky and more profitable than a buy & hold position on the same group of securities. Our system reduces the "amplitude" of the volatility in annual returns, particularly in crisis years such as the 2002 Dot Com Bubble and 2008 Credit debacle.

Unlike most sites out there, we disclose our system's past performance for all securities that we cover. These results show that, on average, our system substantially outperforms a buy & hold strategy over the long term while at the same time exposing the investor to considerably less risk. Additionally, our system can be used as a form of insurance for large negative swings in the market. Based on these results, when our system gives a sell signal, it's clearly better to move your money to a money market fund to earn a small amount of interest instead of losing money in a down market.


Invest with Confidence

A great feature of our system is that it is a quantitative tool that will complement fundamental analysis and/or guidance from any financial advisor or fund manager. Our platform simply relays this information to you via "Buy" & "Sell" signals. So if we predict an uptrend you will be notified with a "Buy" signal and if we predict a downtrend you will be notified with a "Sell" signal, at which time you may want to consider moving into another "Buy" security or into a money market fund to earn interest until you find your next opportunity to buy.
