About SlopeTrade

SlopeTrade portfolio management specializes in the design and implementation investment strategies for both income and capital gain.   SlopeTrade is also a trademark for a type of  investment strategy (investing based on the "slope" of a certain moving average). 

SlopeTrade™ is a stock trading strategy that uses simple technical  analysis to determine the right time to buy and sell stocks in the short term. The strategy is described on this website.. It is an investment strategy that focuses on the major North American market indices (TSX 60, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100) although the trading strategy can be applied to just about any stock or ETF traded on any Exchange. The SlopeTrade strategy lets your profits ride while riding hard your losses.  SlopeTrade is the smart way to trade.

• SlopeTrade is unique and it works enough times to make it an exceptional stock trading technique. 

• SlopeTrade does not recommend a list of stocks, yet its strategy can be used with almost any stock.

• SlopeTrade prefers to focus on just one stock (an ETF) that has both a "bull' and a "bear" version so the SlopeTrade Bull/Bear Portfolio can make money when the market is going up and when it is going down without having to go short.

SlopeTrade results are easy to track.  The SlopeTrade Portfolio is easy to replicate for the individual investor. The ETF (exchange traded fund) used by SlopeTrade  is easy to trade and liquid. It doesn't take much money to create your own SlopeTrade Portfolio. You can do it with less than $3,000 and still trade a board lot.

The SlopeTrade philosophy:  

• Don’t fight the market
• Don’t try to figure the market out
• Don’t try to second guess or predict the market
• Just go with the flow and follow it
• Be quick to react to changes in market direction when trade signals are given
• The Markets are driven more by human nature than economic fundamentals
• Stock markets are often driven up and down by the "big boys" (it's a rigged game)
• Never trade based on news commentaries, rumour or opinions 
• Trade based on the charts and on the facts
• Most important facts are direction of sales and earnings and liquidity in the markets (is the Fed pumping money in or out i.e. buying bonds or selling them)
• Markets are cyclical and not a random walk 
• History repeats itself and recent history repeats itself  (because human nature doesn't change that much, if at all)
• Technical analysis works when used in conjunction with a good trading strategy and a firm trading discipline
• Two very important factors in successful trading: momentum and price level
