 The summer months have finally come to a close and we are moving into the final stretch of 2013.  The big question for most investors is "Does this market have more room to put money to work?"

At this point everyone is bullish.  Everyone is putting money into the markets or at the least thinking about it.  Are we all in?  We're getting there, and most feel there is room to go, calls to 1900 in 2014 are not uncommon.

Are there headwinds?  The FED is on the prowl for signals to raise rates and in the immediate future to stop 85BB in monthly bond purchases.  The 10 year treasury has simply plummeted in ways many didn't expect and unlike the market, it hasn't paused one bit. 

The only issue for the market that we see is a strong rotation by hedgers to the long side in the last two weeks (coinciding with our small rally) while professionals have gotten long as well. 

The hedgers and the professional traders are all long and the small investor is significantly short!  Some small investors may be capitulating, but the pros and hedgers know this.  At some point in the near future we should expect very large swings in gains and losses mostly because the small trader hasn't been this net short in over a decade! 

We are currently in Neutral territory right now, you should have no positions in play in the S&P 500.  Nasdaq is flashing a recent bullish signal but the DOW is also neutral.  Until all three are flashing "buy" it would not be advisable to have a long position in the market.

This important update is for Trizen shareholders who have already opened their accounts and/or anyone preparing to do so.

First, some great news. Our accounts have no losses during this recent market drop. Our trading system did its job protecting capital by taking us out of the market ahead of the downturn.  While the market shaved off 7%, the system was able to add to its percentages and then exit the market.  The system is currently above 25% while the S&P is hovering near 15%

If you are planning to open an account then right now is a good time as we have entered into a volatile market period where our trading system performs best. As stated in many prior newsletters, this system is designed to perform at or better than the S&P during bullish markets but really shines during downturns by either protecting capital or moving it into other bullish markets, i.e. Treasuries.  Right now, both are signaling to be neutral and out respectively.

OPENING A PERSONAL ACCOUNT

We have had several requests for the basic instructions for opening personal accounts.

Through our arrangements with TradeStation, they will help you set up your account and will handle all financial transactions including deposits or withdrawals.  It is one of the best trading platforms available and we have been with them a long time. 

Trizen handles all the trading functions using our own trading system, but we make use of the TradeStation platform running on personal computers (in this case a computer we will setup for you) to execute those trades into the market. 

TO SET UP YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT

1. Call Allen Brown our contact at Trade Station at 1-888-223-9671 and let him know that you want to set up your futures only account, and mention my name, he will understand. Allen will help you through the account set-up procedure.  There are many ways to set-up an account, and he can walk you through it, i.e. a corporate account that you control.  Just remember, he is setting up an account that you control and setup with TradeStation and then we will set up the software afterwards.

2.   After setting up your account, email me at zaremba@trizen.com with your contact information and I will schedule a discussion to walk you through how our software will run on TradeStation's network.  I will also get your computer setup and give you the instructions for accessing your computer anywhere in the world and I will make sure that everything is ready and working.

In regards to fees, TradeStation, like any broker, does charge a platform fee for their software.  They also charge a fee for handling our requested execution requests (buy, sell, exit, etc.).  This has always been included in our profit history and is largely negligible.

Trizen is waving all fees and charges for existing shareholders. Future accounts will pay a management fee and commission percent to Trizen for all gain amounts over the S&P only!  Meaning, we believe so strongly in our system, that there are percentages taken unless we beat the S&P!

Once again, the Trizen fees do not apply to existing shareholders.

I anticipate good system performance this year as we move forward in our efforts to build the value of our stock and its marketability.

I am best reached via email, but if you don't hear back from me within 24 hours then it is quite possible it went into a spam folder.  At that point, please text me at 704.999.7844 with your name and email and I will respond ASAP!

Its an exciting time out there, the bulls have been shaken, the bears have had a little run, and the battle for the tape is heating up!

On another note, I had some minor surgery this last weekend and will be out of commission for the next day or so, but will be responding to emails and texts.

I look forward to working with each of you that plan on opening an account and moving forward with our long term plans!
