10 profitable live timing signals since inception in May
2004 (+46.9% cum. return).
This website gives real-time trading signals for the NASDAQ
(2 weeks to 4 months) from the ContraQuant sentiment-based market timing model. It is a hype-free zone - we
are not selling subscriptions - and there is no cost to view the information.
We currently publish our real-time trading reports with a delay of several weeks on this website (scroll down
this page to see the latest), though our referees always receive the latest report in real time. You might also qualify
to receive timing signals free in real time if you are a professional investor. Read the
FAQs or
Contact page for info.
You can download each and every one of our hundreds of real-time ContraQuant reports issued in advance of the profitable
signals shown in the above chart. Just click on
2004,
2005,
2006,
2007 or
2008 to drill down to your period of interest. The reports are linked as pdf files underneath each year's summary.
Read the
FAQs to learn more about the model and its contrarian investment philosophy. The chart above and on the
Track Record page illustrate the accuracy of the model's real-time signals at a glance. All trades were signalled in
advance.
Performance integrity and transparency are important to us. That is why Jack Schwager and our
other referees have received these reports every week without fail. We have an unbroken record of documentation.
Each report was issued on the actual date shown at the bottom of the pdf file. Live reports have been issued from the
model every week without fail since May 2004 as the statement at the top of this page attests.
Returns reflect actual real-time performance. They have NOT been generated by back-testing. However, there
is no guarantee that future performance will be as good as in the past. Please scroll for the disclaimer.
This website is set up merely to publicly and transparently show the live performance of our market
timing signals. You can view the model's verified real-time
record in depth, as well as its analytical foundation and background (

Trades are always posted in advance and recorded at actual values filled. Independent referees have been receiving
our reports every week since the model's inception in May 2004.
Our model has given only one losing signal in this time, but we do not expect every trade to win.
Our infrequent signals appear to offer high-probability trading opportunities but please do your own research
to verify this.
The ContraQuant model's primary goals are:
1. Loss avoidance by identifying high-probability NASDAQ index trades (either LONG or SHORT).
2.
Double-digit positive absolute returns in all types of market, with relatively low
volatility. Do verify this on the
Track Record page.
3.
Long-term resilience. We intend our model's real-time performance to remain robust
for years to come. This will depend on the quality of our model's data inputs and continuous R&D (learn
more in the
FAQs).
To reiterate, 10 out of 11 market timing signals so far have been profitable. This is visually shown in the
chart above and on the
Track Record page. There has been only one incorrect signal so far, although this offers no guarantees for the
future.
We have achieved double-digit annual returns trading a notional $1m in real time in every year except 2008 (even in 2008
we outperformed the NASDAQ). Our live returns have generally beaten most hedge fund indices. Please see the
Track Record page for further info.
