How to use SM Timing
First Step: Choose a Timing Signal
SM Timing provides analysis of the market by producing several different signals. To start, look at the Signal Dashboard and determine which signal is best suited to your investment style and portfolio.In your account section, you can subscribe to recieve alerts for that signal. When there is a change for the signal, you will receive a signal alert which allows you to determine whether you want to make a trade. Most often, users select one signal to follow and make trades based on signal alerts from that one signal. However, you are given alerts and data for all signals so you can change signals at any time.
Next Step: Follow a Timing Signal
The SMS Timing signals are based on trading with the major stock indexes, particular either the NDX 100 index or the VIX index. There are three options:LONG - Predicting the market index will go up
SHORT - Predicting the market index will go down
EVEN - This usually is caused by too much noise to create a significant recommendation, leaning towards CASH or some other investment medium.
When there is a change for the signal, you will receive a signal alert which allows you to determine whether you want to make a trade. The SM Timing signal is delivered via email. If there is a change in the signal, you will be alerted 30 minutes prior to the market closing (3:30 Eastern Time) with a trade recommendation. If followed, the trade would need to be completed before the end of the day's trading. This is very important for "close only" ETF funds.
Update: You can now get alerts sent to your smartphone! You now have the option to select signal alerts sent to you by phone connected by a major U.S. phone carrier.
You can get previews for the signal sent to your inbox earlier each day if desired. You can also log into https://www.SMTiming.com to view current signals at any time.
