Re: The sniff test
J.James,
I am in your same boat. I don't have much time, so I use services. The two you mentioned have some problems imo. I think some ignore the problems because the promised results seem so great. Notice I said promised, not actual long term results. These systems are just babies. I have a 2nd son who isn't born yet and I think he was conceived before these services were timertrac'd. LOL. I hope that puts it in perspective.
Sometimes people want to believe things so badly because, if they are true, it means great rewards for them with little effort. I think that is the case here. PrimeMarketSignal (PMS) hasn't even been tracked for 6 months. Also, notice the language used on their site. Count how many exclamation !!!!! marks they have, one for almost every sentence. This thing is great! Live your lifestyle! Become financially free! They just don't come across as serious. Also, they claim to have issued their first live signal in December 2003. However, their site was just created on 12/14/04. Let's get real. This service is dishonest imo.
Having said that, their return has been good since March 3. Let's see how well they do after being in service for a while.
www.markettiming.biz is similar. They claim to have had a first live signal in June of 2003, yet their site was created on 4/1/05. Also, let's compare apples to apples. If you click on timertrac from their site and compare their signal, basis Nasdaq 100 (no margin, no interest) with the Nasdaq 100, you will see they are dead even with it since May 5. At least PMS is performing (so far).
Anyway, that's my take. I still like TimingCube (TC), but it only catches large movements and doesn't track well with QQQQ (it is much better with SPY, IWM and MDY).
Someone here mentioned another service while blasting TC, but that service didn't even have back-test results. Another service mentioned on this board claimed they couldn't post any prior results legally, even though many legally post back-tested results.
Personally, I think the MVP signal that Steve gives out for free on this board is great. No one can claim he is juicing the numbers either. Why? He is the only one I know who is honest enough to say his system produced a buy on 9/10/01. And he still made money!
Good luck. I'd be interested to learn anything that you discover.
