IPM Trade Matrix Update - Trade 6 (Part 2)

Market Overview

Since the beginning of 2014, market has gone net sideways. On the contrary, IPM Trade Matrix has generated ~33% returns. This is exceptional performance at a time when market was very uncertain. 

Going forward, market looks ripe for further rally. If we see sideways market action, which is very possible, over the next few days, more longs will be added until market hits our stop levels.

Overall, it seems like there is a lot of pessimism in the market, as people are trying to short all-time highs. This might be a good development for the bulls. As bull market likes to climb the "Wall of Worry." 

Alongside IPM Trade Matrix, we are working on implementing this trading technique on options trading and also are in process of developing a proprietary Market Meter. According to latest reading, market is bullish based on long-term and short-term proprietary market analysis tools.

These two developments will be shared on the blog over the next few months.
