HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING AND MAY NOT BE IMPACTED BY BROKERAGE AND OTHERSLIPPAGE FEES. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER- OR OVER-COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

How the results were obtained: The simulated returns looked at a universe of over 6000 stocks. The data was obtained from outside sources which we believe are reliable but we cannot assure their complete accuracy. The tests were run on an open-to-open basis from January 1, 1995-August 31, 2006. One cent commissions were charged and cash balances assumed 3 month t-bill rates. Any dividends received along the way were not included in the test results.

Bollinger Bands were developed by John Bollinger. This product was not developed by and is not endorsed by John Bollinger orBollinger Capital Management, Inc. and is not affiliated in any way with BollingerBands.com or BollingerOnBollingerBands.com.

We buy weakness (pullbacks) and we sell strength (run-ups).

Most everything we do is quantified with at least 10 years of rigorous testing. We have done this with numerous systems and methodologies we have published (and still trade) including: Always Buy Value (ABV), TradingMarkets Capital Appreciation Program (TMCAP), Raptor-I, Raptor-II, Advanced Windows, PowerRatings, and now %b. We use these methodologies with corporate money, personal money, and private investment money. This does not guarantee that we, nor anyone else, will make money in the future. This is how we trade; it’s been successful for us, and for many repeat customers. In many programs, we provide money-back guarantees by returning the cost of the program to our customers if they don’t make money over a one-year period of time.

Bollinger Bands were created by John Bollinger and have been used by traders for many years.

Numerous traders have used them to guide their buying and selling decisions. The bands have been used on an intra-day and daily basis, along with being used in most markets, including stocks, futures and Forex.

As far as we know, we are the first company to apply the Bollinger Bands in a quantified systematic manner. The results from this systematic approach are the highest performing portfolio methodology we've published to date.

There is ample statistical evidence that stocks tend to move from oversold to overbought conditions and vice-versa. The %b Methodology uses a systematic, quantified approach to identify when stocks are very oversold. We then enter these stocks at levels which have historically risen. Then, after the stocks rally, we look to take advantage of the rally by exiting into strength (the average holding period has been approximately 5 days). On average nearly 3 out of every 4 signals have been profitable since 1995, with the winning trades averaging just over 8% per trade. This systematic process is then done over and over again each trading day.

Why does %b Work?

Page 25: PercentB Bollinger Bands Highlights

25

1. It buys numerous momentum pullbacks at levels at which stocks have historically risen.

2. It exits at levels which have historically identified the end of the short-term momentum move.

3. It has been quantified on over 11 years of signals with thousands and thousands of %bsignals.

%b Has Worked For The Following Reasons:

Page 26: PercentB Bollinger Bands Highlights

26

Here is the %b Six Step Formula…

How does %b work?

Page 27: PercentB Bollinger Bands Highlights

27

Step #1

Each day you will identify strong uptrending momentum stocks which have had sharp pullbacks over the past few days. The 5-day Bollinger Bands %b System combines Bollinger Bands, trend, pullback, volatility, volume and portfolio management techniques to diversify your portfolio.

How does %b work?

Page 28: PercentB Bollinger Bands Highlights

28

Step #2

You will wait for these strong stocks to have a further pullback the upcoming day. All of your entries will be at specific levels lower than the previous days close.

Our research has found that uptrending stocks which pull back sharply tend to rise sharply over the near-term.

%b uses a proprietary Bollinger Band set-up which has never before been published.

How does %b work?

Page 29: PercentB Bollinger Bands Highlights

29

Step #3

You will then use a small (fixed) portion of your portfolio and buy the stock(s) below the previous days close.

How does %b work?

Page 30: PercentB Bollinger Bands Highlights

30

Step #4

You will buy up to 10 stocks for %b which have the same pull-back characteristics.

How does %b work?

Page 31: PercentB Bollinger Bands Highlights

31

Step #5

You will exit your %b positions when the stocks give an sell signal.

No more guessing when to get out of a trade!

How does %b work?

Page 32: PercentB Bollinger Bands Highlights

32

Step #6

You will repeat this same procedure over and over again every day.

ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER- OR OVER-COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

How the results were obtained: The simulated returns looked at a universe of over 6000 stocks. The data was obtained from outside sources which we believe are reliable but we cannot assure their complete accuracy. The tests were run on an open-to-open basis from January 1, 1995-August 31, 2006. One cent commissions were charged and cash balances assumed 3 month t-bill rates. Any dividends received along the way were not included in the test results.
