There is little need to tell you that markets are, and will continue to be, VOLATILE, as geopolitical and financial upheavals continue. This does not mean that there are few opportunities for the savvy investor. Now is the time for all investors to employ a broader range of strategies to anticipate, respond to, and capitalize on market volatility.

First, you need to have a strategy for selecting long positions, based on solid VALUE and TECHNICAL analysis. To remain nimble in a volatile market environment you need to keep capital aside so that other strategies can be brought into play quickly. With markets moving so quickly it is not good enough to wait out a sale before deploying a strategy needed immediately.

Second, you need a good HEDGING strategy, as hedging is a useful tool that every investor should know about. Hedging is a good way to protect your portfolio, and protection is often just as important as portfolio appreciation.  Even if you are a beginner, you can learn what hedging is and put it to work for you.  The best way to understand hedging is to think of it as a form of insurance.  When people decide to hedge, they are insuring themselves against a negative event to their finances.

Thirdly, you need a coherent ENTRANCE and EXIT strategy, meaning that you have a plan that you adhere to, for entering a trade, and for exiting a trade. Once again, relying on hope is not a winning strategy for deciding when, or how much, to BUY and SELL. There needs to be a plan that is based on accurate market projections, solid stock analysis, and the right targets for ENTRANCE and EXIT. The hardest part of doing this successfully is to put emotions aside and stick to your plan to generate success.

Risk is an inherent part of investing.  Regardless of what kind of investor you aim to be, having a basic knowledge of these strategies will lead to better awareness of how investors can protect themselves and increase their success, even in the most volatile times.

Many investors do not have a plan to survive or thrive in a down market, but TTT is adept at generating profits in both bull markets and bear markets, to both mitigate losses and position investors for solid gains. It is possible to make significant gains in market downturns by holding a hedge position that remains flat and then goes much higher when markets collapse. These hedge positions need to be chosen prudently and TTT is the key to making such prudent choices.

Trend Technical Trader  (TTT) was originally designed as a hedging service, to provide actionable recommendations to protect your portfolio from losses in market downturns. Over the years this service has expanded into a solid all-round trading service, making both long and hedged trades.

Here is an example of how TTT hedges worked during the Covid crash.

VXX  up 48% in 34 days

SDOW up 51% in 18 days

Over the past 5 years TTT is averaging +40% annualized gains.

TTT has also had a banner year with its Gold Trend Indicator (GTI):

8 winners out of 11 or 72% overall,  not counting the massive open gains offered by our TTT’s penny stock suggestions.

+33.4% average with an average holding time of 20.5 weeks, or 85% annualized in precious metals.

Also, great returns in uranium stocks:

The markets had an incredible year in 2021, but our models are warning of some serious potential downside in 2022, be sure to have strategies in place to protect your portfolio.  TTT has a number of hedge positions in place.
