Trading Rules
Iwill be adding to this section over time as questions come up in the comments section.
1) Do not EMAIL me, or INSTANT MESSAGE me or try to communicate with me in any way asking questions about buying or selling stocks, options, ETFs or anything else…I am not here to give investment advice. This is an educational and entertainment blog. I post my trades and why I trade the way I do for those two purposes. Sometimes you will learn from my good trades other times from my bad trades. But, your investment decisions are YOURS!
2)Stops: These are based upon daily closing prices for ETFs and stock, but are real time for OPTIONS. If peg a stop to a moving average for a specific time frame, then it is fluid and is based upon the final candle for that time frame. For example, if the stop is the 50 MA on the 60 minute chart, then the position remains if the closing candle for the day on the 60 min chart is above the 50 MA on that chart, and it closes out if it is below the MA. However, there are times when one shouldn’t wait for the close: a) should an index break down below a key pivot area that I have highlighted, then one need not wait for the close to exit a position, b) if it is evident that an index will close on the wrong side of a stop, then one can exit. Or, should the indexes impulse in the direction opposite the position.
3) The Portfolio at times will trade against the Alphahorn Swing System, based upon either immediate term indicators and/or Elliott wave counts. These positions should be viewed as high risk entries and like all investment decisions, one should consult their investment advisors and/or consider one’s own risk tolerance before considering such positions. Like everything else on this site, these are not recommendations to trade any particular security.
4) Do not ask me what my indicators are. I’ve spent years developing them and they are proprietary.
5) Averaging Down: In a word – DON’T! NEVER EVER AVERAGE DOWN. If you follow the position sizing rule above then this rule should be implied automatically. Once you’ve invested 2% of you capital your have reached the limit and NO MORE CAPITAL IS TO BE COMMITTED TO THAT POSITION!

I’ve been a member for 3 years now, in that time, alphahorn has outperformed everyone of my other three trading services. As a member, you won’t find handholding or emotional support here as some services provide, but what you will receive are swing trade advice that is unparallel, bold, and more often than not….counter intuitive to “what everyone else” is doing. Personally, i frequently have difficultly taking a full position based on many of his calls, due to the nature of the trade being in direct conflict with what the main stream are saying. Word of advise from a experienced member….after one receives a trade alert, just login to your account and make the trade as fast as possible….you will be amazed with the results and even more amazed at how successful a trader you can become with this guy in your corner.
Hi alphahorn
Another great year up 40 percent with 2 months to go.
Great calls in November on Bib and cash for qld.
Thanks for expertise.

Hello Alphahorn,
You’re the BEST! I’ve never seen anyone else that comes close. I’m sticking pretty closely to the system and am up over 40% and we’re not even halfway through July. Thanks for another great year and a fantastic 5 year return!!

hi Alphahorn, +25 % ya baby great work that you chris
Bob S:
your the best I’ve ever seen wish I would have found you earlier.
Bill L:
Some unbelievable calls … Keep up the extraordinary work
B:
New to your work. Subscribed and watched for about 6 months. Your system is amazing. Just recently took my first two trades with these signals. Profitable, sensible, low risk, its a pleasure to have found such common sense simple triggers to such complex issues. I’ll be around a long time.
Robert K:
Having found your site a year or so ago, I have been amazed at your ability and, more importantly, discipline to stick with the system through turbulent times and of course, let profits run….which has been my greatest shortcoming.

Alphahorn’s model portfolio moved back into longs near the low last week as Alphahorn tries to beat his 2011 model portfolio return of 75%, though we’ll need a strong move into the end of the year to put him over the top for that as I think he’s only at 65% or so at the moment… Alphahorn suggested an intriguing possibility in a note to his members half an hour before the Fed announcement yesterday and that was that the retracement pattern on SPX might be a falling wedge. The post Fed low almost made it to wedge support and then it broke up to make target shortly afterwords… that was some really slick classical chartwork from Alphahorn that brightened my day.

A congratulatory word of thanks. I’ve only been around a year and quite frankly your work is stunning. I’m here to learn and I’ve profited. Next goal to invest in each or your sector trades. I’ve had my girlfriend and my son join. Working on my daughter now to do the same. Thanks your work is impressive to benefit from and watch and learn.

“The last SPX chart for today is the SPX weekly chart from 2009 against the NYMO. I generally follow the daily but a friend of mine posted a look at this over the weekend and the track record of seeing divergences on the weekly NYMO at significant highs and lows is stronger than I expected, and I’ll be adding this chart to my main daily NYMO chart that I look at for trend reversals. That friend is Alphahorn who runs an excellent subscription service using a mix of momentum and reversal indicators and EW with a model portfolio up 53% so far this year, against 31% in 2012 and 75% in 2011. Very impressive work from one of my favorite chartist.
NOTE: The 10th of the month is an important date. All monthly subscriptions purchased on or before the 10th are treated as a full month. Purchases after the 10th are treated as occurring on the first day of the following month. Therefore, a subscription purchased on the 9th of July ends September 30. But, a subscription purchased on the 11th of July expires October 31st. Subscribers get access to the one of the best educational newsletters available. Subscribers get nightly (Monday-Thursday), weekend and occasional intra-day summaries of the stock market.

Bitcoin vs Gold: Which should you be holding?
The weekly chart above shows the ratio of Bitcoin’s price to the price of gold. After a massive move up by BTC in the second half of 2020 into the first quarter of 2021, BTC has corrected both in terms of the USD and gold. As you can see, the BTC:GLD ratio found support on the 50 week MA. The ratio traced out a 3,3,5 corrective flat in Elliott Wave terms. Should the ratio take out 23.35, then this would be confirmation that the next big BTC run vs gold is underway. This doesn’t imply GLD will necessarily lose value relative to the USD but relative to BTC. So while gold was a safe haven for investors over the past four months, it might be time for those holding gold to rotate into BTC if we see a weekly close of the BTC:GLD ratio over 23.35.
Important Bitcoin and Ethereum Update
With about 30 minutes until the weekly close, both Bitcoin and Ethereum are set to print bullish engulfing weekly candles. This plays perfectly in line with our July 19th call that the pullback was ending. Next up we should see BTC test 36k, then 40k and Eth test 3k.
