Todd..re: sniff test..Well said. The services short "actual" verifiable time means they have only had to deal with essentially one type of market..the market has been relatively strong from May through the first of August.

If they can perform in other types of markets (the expected dip in the S&P to around 1060 by mid-Dec, for example,as called by Sam), and then the following ramp, they will have gone a long way toward proving their mettle.

For myself, I am not a potential customer until they have at least a year of forward-going, verifiable, performance.

But, I am interested in their performance, and appreciate those who are using them, giving us periodic reports.

regards.

I see MarketTiming different than you do. Maybe you are confusing them with someone else. They do not have a Time Trac on their web site that I can find.

Using their signal dates and trading the Qs at open the following day, they are up 27.9% for all trades closed in 2005. As of May 1 they were at 18.3%, which means they are up 9.6% since that date. This is with no margin. There have been a total of 18 trades closed with only 2 losers.
