The performance results for our "Core" model (MIPS3) were calculated using MIPS market timing systems' signals that are verified by TimerTrac.com for all dates after 11/04/2005. Results with the MIPS1 were calculated with backtested signals from the MIPS timing system. Only MIPS Members will be able to see the most "current" signals; all others are restricted to "past" signals (delayed by 90 days or more).
The numbers in the charts below for SPY Buy/Hold and MIPS1/ trading SPY Long/Short repesent investment values starting with a $10,000 investment. But, if you started with $100,000, you would need to multiply the numbers in the charts below by 10 to track your $100,000 investment. With this, a MIPS member can calculate the value of their original investmenet over time for any starting portfolio value.
TRADE CALCULATIONS AND REPORTING
In the tables below, the "Signal Dates" are the dates that the MIPS Signals were sent to Members.
Signals Changes emails are usually sent after the close on the Signal Date, and all trades are
to be executed on the open of the next day, which is called the "Trade Dates".
The percentages in the table below are the % change between the close on each Signal Date.
Since the trades are made on the open,
the percentages below represent an approximation of the actual gain/loss on every trade.
