Hello, TradeSmith Family,
Once again, it’s been an interesting week in the markets. Futures have been mixed throughout the week, and daily trading remained cautiously optimistic. Investors’ eyes were focused on Chairman Jerome Powell for his statements concerning interest rates. With unprecedented political pressure, statement given by Powell concerning rates have been highly scrutinized.
Whether you’ve been following the interest rate saga (drama) or not, it will hold weight over the current market’s volatility. If we take a quick look into TradeStops, we can see the normal expected volatility of the major U.S. markets.
 |
Aside from the Russel 2000 and S&P 600, all the major U.S. markets are trading in a healthy state. And, we can expect these markets to fluctuate anywhere from 9.2% to 12.9%.
As many TradeSmith subscribers know, we’ve designed our systems to help you optimize for volatility. Whether the market remains stable or experiences more volatility, our tools can help you. We can do this through a new feature we’ve added to the TradeStops Portfolios page.
On the Portfolios page, click one of the white boxes to the left of your portfolio. Have you noticed what has changed?
 |
We put a red box around the change. It’s pretty neat! Now, you can quickly access several powerful tools directly from the Portfolios tab.
- Pure Quant can help you build a new portfolio based on the portfolio you selected on this screen
- Asset Allocation shows you how diversified your portfolio is
- The PVQ Analyzer shows you how invested in low, medium, high, and sky-high risk you are
- The Risk Rebalancer helps you take equal risk per position in your portfolio
To access any of these tools, you’d simply click one of the buttons. From there, you’ll be brought to that specific research tool.
 |
In the example above, we selected our 5019 portfolio to go through the PVQ. It has now been pre-selected. All we’d need to do is specify if we’d want to include cash and then click Analyze. It’s that simple!
The other tools we mentioned will do this too. The system will pre-select your portfolio. From there, you just need to select any remaining information (like including cash in the example above) and then you can analyze your portfolio.
