Simplify, simplify. --- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

My development of trading systems has come to an end, as of May, 2011, after 32 years of work. I've seen it all and the Arc is the best.

Good sailing!

Larry Berg

Berg's Arc System developed May 1, 2011

Welcome aboard Berg’s Arc. Hoist and trim the sails. Take the right direction. This system will make you a master of trend and minor corrections, any market, any time frame.

If your chart service has adjustable Fibonacci Arcs/Circles, then you can trade this system. Email me if you have any questions about your chart service.

Trade stocks, bonds, currencies, mutual funds, index futures, index options, metals, meats, grains, any market, any time frame with a professional expertise unavailable anywhere else. This is the best trading/investing system you'll ever find.

Below are the Arc signals compared to one minute S&P bars. Note how well it keeps you with the trend while providing many scalping opportunities. It works this well, with any market, any time frame.

Below is the Arc system applied to the daily S&P. Every signal made at least +20 points. That's about +200 Dow points on each signal. No losers.

Below is the Arc system applied to Bonds. Only one loser. It works equally well with daily bars.

Below is the Arc system applied to Crude Oil on five minute bars. It works equally well with daily bars.

Below is the Arc system applied to the five minute Currencies. Works equally well with daily bars.

Berg’s Arc is available for $1,995. Current system owners can take 15% off, making it $1,695. But don't tell that to the crew, they're working for bread and beer.

The following trading platforms have the Fibonacci Arc/Circle indicator necessary to trade the Arc system. If you don't see yours here let me know where you're trading and I'll find out if it provides the Fibonacci Arc indicator:

Q-Charts (esignal.com), OpenECry.com, Tradestation, TradeSignalOnline, NinjaTrader, MultiCharts.

System instructions are objective. You simply line up the arc with tops and bottoms and it shows you where to buy and sell. Then, if you get the go ahead with one more rule, the trade can be executed.

You can either hit the deck running, and trade everything, or you can take a more leisurely approach, swing in the hammock, and not trade every signal. It's nice to know that you can walk away from the wheel and not be afraid that you missed the "big move", as is the case with most systems. But I think you'll find yourself tightening the sails, and going for as much as you can with this system. It's that good.

I'm always available to provide support and reply to email questions promptly. All upgrades/improvements provided free of charge.

And Berg’s Arc works overnight better than any system you'll ever find.

It'll make you a master of any market's seas.

Good sailing!

Comments by Arc owners:

"I would describe the system as 100% mechanical. That was a major consideration for me when deciding whether to purchase the system. In fact, one thing I like which I think Larry should emphasize more is there are built in filter rules to keep you out of trades that could go either way. The rules are straightforward and the system is very easy to set up and apply. Plus, Larry’s support for users is good and he’s responsive to user questions.

I use OpenECry’s platform to trade. I tried a trial of Ninja Trader and didn’t care for it mainly because I was unable to change the default parameters for the arc required by the system. Perhaps that was because I was only a trial user.

I spent a LOT of time trading this system in simulation so I understood the rules and how to apply them in any situation. The rules aren’t difficult, but I wanted to be sure of my approach, how my platform worked along with its various commands. Of course, simulation is just that, and in OEC’s demo platform, (like NTs), fills are WAY too easy.

I would agree it’s possible for someone who can commit to trading all day to make ten points a day. I went live on Tuesday last week (Oct. 4) and made 11 points in about 5 hours (I quit an hour early and missed that amazing rally, for which the system would have been long and would have hit the profit goal) and I was profitable one to four points three other days with limited trading time each day due to other commitments. I’m still working on my discipline and will sometimes chicken out during an adverse excursion but I’ve gotten better at hanging in there to capture the full value of winners. Again, this is me, not the system.

I’ve got several of Larry’s other systems, and this one is by FAR his best.

I hope this helps your decision making process. "

"Imagine if you had added a contract on each sell signal! WOW!"

"All in all, this is an amazing method, Larry. I still see it as the culmination of your research over time. Your long research into non-indicator based systems has really paid off!"

"This is amazing! It is so easy to understand and apply I can hardly believe it!"

"It's a wonderful follow-up to the Magic Moment concept. Far more refined and simple to use because we have the built in tool."

"Results are really impressive."

"I love the Berg Arc system. Am just getting really good (or a least pretty good) with the 5 minute bar set ups."

"After one week of training I started three days ago to trade your system and I had +1 point every day! Thank you!"

"Very good, thanks. This is AMAZING on five minute bars!"

"I had to leave for some errands mid-session and just got back but for the day I made $4,750 less about $432 for 90 round turn contracts they don’t deduct in the $50K simulation account. So far, so good."

The WEF System --- Using the Berg Timer to Trade the Stock Market

for trading stocks, options, index futures, and mutual funds

This system is based on the Berg Timer. It is the first trading system I developed, started in 1984, with several improvements since. A very good position-type trading system. High reliability and very good profit:loss ratio. Winners make +15 points, losers only -10. Although they are overnight positions they rarely last more than 5 days, mostly 1-3 days.

Signals are generated when daily BT hits a certain strength. No interpretation necessary. Completely objective.

No screen watching. You'll know exactly when you'll be putting on a position months, even years in advance.

Precise entry, exit and stop loss instructions. Profit target is +15.00 points, stop loss is -10.00 S&P points.

The Berg Timer for the next 12 months is included with the system, including a couple past years.

Cost of the system is $995, a little more than the profit on one trade. WEF System purchase is non-refundable.

Any and all system updates/improvements will be provided to buyers free of charge. But it's been working as-is for the last 10 years. No improvements necessary or expected.

As a bonus you'll also receive the 96% reliable Pocket Change Trade. It's made +56 S&P points over the last six years.

Performance

Below are the results of trading the WEF System with the S&P Futures since 2000. The small gains/losses are trades that were reversed with an opposite signal before either +15 or -10 occurred.

The system uses a trailing stop by moving stop to breakeven after +7 points is reached. The "+0's" are the trades where a position hit +7 then returned to entry point making the trade result in break-even.

Positions are held on average about 1-5 days.

The Berg Blaster™

Using Actual Geomagnetic Activity to Trade Stock Market Swings --- Introduced April 14, 2005

I just completed research on how a geomagnetic indicator correlates with longer-term stock market swings. I found that when the indicator hits a certain strength, the market almost always declines about 20 S&P points. Below are shown all signals produced by this indicator over the last 15 months. In order to trade it, all you have to do is look at a webpage once a day to see if the parameters are met for a signal. If so, you then put on your position at next day's opening. That's all there is to it.

This very simple system netted +$11,450 per Emini contract during this period. It's been backtested three years with consistent results.

Blaster signals would also be very useful for the timing of stock and mutual fund sales, and the buying of put options and bearish spreads.

Berg Blaster instructions cost just $495, half the profit on one signal. Precise entry, exit and stop instructions.

Note that this strategy to Sell after strong geomagnetic activity is consistent with the findings of the aforementioned Working Paper published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (whose study uses data going back 70 years) wherein it concludes:

"Unusually high levels of geomagnetic activity have a negative, statistically and economically

significant effect on the following week's stock returns for all U.S. stock market indices."

This chart from their study shows stock market returns on normal days (blue) and on days following geomagnetic storms (brown). This lends strong support for the validity of the Berg Blaster signals.

chart source: http://www.frbatlanta.org/filelegacydocs/wp0305b.pdf

Recent Blaster Signal

The March 11, 2011 geomagnetic storm generated a Berg Blaster signal.

By the end of the next trading day it made its +20 point target (+$1,000 per contract).

Trading Tips

Trade It! --- That may sound odd but most system buyers don't actually trade the system they've purchased. They're just curious or use it to help in some other system or strategy.

Be Patient --- Wait patiently for the signals. It's a job not an adventure. Realize that waiting IS the job. You are making $200 to $300 an hour to wait. So wait! It sounds easy but it's the hardest part of successful trading. Do NOT miss any signals.

Be Accurate --- Only take trades that agree with ALL parameters of the system. Don't think you can squeeze out a good trade from an "almost" good signal. If you are bored and want some excitement you are in the wrong business.

Prepare --- Make sure all your trading applications are up and running correctly. Enter an "away from the market" order on your trading platform to make sure it is working properly.

Avoid Complications --- Is it a Federal Reserve announcement day? Is there a major news story that's affecting the markets? Is it holiday trading with very low volume? Don't trade.

Have Confidence --- You've bought a good system with a good track record. Maintain a positive mental attitude. It will work if you follow the rules.

Be Persistent --- Don't quit! It's a good system. Keep trading through losses, especially through losses.

Be Objective --- Emotion . . . not good. Be a machine . . . a money-making machine. Ignore exterior impulses. Ignore your surroundings. All you have to do is ask yourself if the price action meets the signal requirements then execute.

Be Cautious --- Don't be afraid that you'll miss a trade or be too slow. It's better to miss a trade than to carelessly enter a position. Be sure that all of the system's parameters are met before entering an order.

It's an Investment --- This is an investment of your time and money. It's NOT gambling with 50:50 odds. If you're looking for fun you should go to Vegas. Good systems give you house odds of at least 60:40. It's a business.

Use Blinders --- Is your other favorite technical indicator contrary to the signal? Is it Friday the 13th? Is the moon in Leo? Don't pay attention to any other indicators. Concentrate on the task at hand.
