Let me put in a plug for a product called "Ultra Market Advisor",
of which I am a satisfied customer, but have no commercial interest,
no axe to grind, etc. etc.
Ultra Market Advisor ("UMA") is an inexpensive product (I think it
cost me $250 or so) that implements 38 general market timing systems,
and a couple of gold timing systems. Systems by Hussman, Freeburg,
Meyers, Lutts, Bell, and UMA's author, Steve Hunter, are included.
These systems are NOT programmable - this isn't a TradeStation with
EasyLanguage. However, you can backtest "portfolios" of systems,
seeing which combinations give the best historical results. You can
also play with the thresholds - eg, rules such "if 5/16 systems go
'long' then buy, if 7/16 go 'short' then sell". While I believe it
is possible to manually enter data into the UMA, the easier solution
is to pay Ultra Financial Systems (Hunter's company) $100/year for
the right to auto-download each day's data.
UMA can be reached at www.ultrafs.com, ultrafs@xxxxxxxxxxxx, or at
972 940 5423. Again, I have NO connection with UFS, though I would
be interested to hear from other people using UFS, and similar
products (yea, I also use MIRAT).
