* TREND Technical Trader results are rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, based on the entry and exit prices achieved for the trade.  "Time" is a count of market days since the trade was opened. 

** "Annualized" is the implied result on an annualized basis, not compounded.  As is plainly obvious, this column does not reflect actual results and is only included here for comparison to the many newsletters that use a very misleading annualized figure as inference of their actual results. 

PAST RESULTS ARE NO GUARANTEE OR INDICATOR OF FUTURE RESULTS.
