Fully automatic analysis of over 50 indicators takes place daily during program operation. Most of the indicators are patterns based on recent price relationships. Each indicator has been assigned a point weighting factor based on the indicators historical validity. The cumulative total of all the indicators is known as the Trend Index and is used as a set-up for the signals, based on the cumulative sum of all the daily point values.

Actual buy/sell signals are generated based on the magnitude of the indicators total point value in combination with several important pattern recognition parameters and a secret 'drawdown minimizer' technique. Don't worry about this sounding complex, it is all done effortlessly and automatically by the computer.

Swing Catcher uses the same fixed pattern recognition and price relationship technical indicators for all time periods and for all markets! The reason for the fixed indicators, is that it is preferable for a methodology to work without much technical indicator optimization. Only three major parameters are adjustable, representing just 5% of the total number.

That's because if too many indicators are optimized, a system will become heavily curve-fitted to the back-data it was tested with, and likely will not work in real-time trading. One area where adjustment is beneficial is Target and Stop adjustments via the automatically adjustable Sensitivity Band, which is tied to volatility.

In variety of trading options, and ability to optimize Money Management and Trade Frequency, and optional smoothing capacity.
