I’m adding another strategy to Trendlock.
But before I tell you about it, let me remind you why the whole thing works.
The Power of Proven Edges
Trendlock is built on trend following and multi-factor momentum. Two of the most well-documented edges in financial markets. We’re not reinventing the wheel here.
The system keeps us locked into the big trends while they’re running. And when the pain of a bear market arrives, it rotates us to safety.
Here’s what that looks like:
21% CAGR since 2007. 29% CAGR since 2020. But the returns aren’t the point.
The point is what happens when everything falls apart.
Then we added Monthly Flip, a completely uncorrelated edge.
Every month, retirement accounts add capital from paychecks. Fund managers put that money to work. Pension funds rebalance. This creates predictable buying pressure around the turn of the month.
It’s been documented since the 1980s. One of the few calendar anomalies that hasn’t been arbitraged away.
~30% CAGR on its own. One trade per month. Different timeframe, different logic, different source of returns.
Why Combining Them Works
When you blend uncorrelated strategies, the math gets beautiful.
TrendLock thrives in trending markets. Monthly Flip thrives in flow-driven calendar windows. They struggle at different times. They win at different times.
Together (this is using options for monthly flip):
Not only on the upside, but also in crisis,
Read that drawdown column again.
TrendLock alone: -23% max drawdown. Monthly Flip alone: -23% max drawdown. Combined: -19% max drawdown.
That’s not a typo. You’re getting better returns with shallower drawdowns by running them together.
And it’s dead simple to execute.
Once a week you get the TrendLock email telling you which ETF to hold. Once a month you get an email to buy, then a few weeks later an email to sell.
No charts. No analysis. No second-guessing.
You just follow the signals.
But What About the Crashes?
Think back to April of this year.
Everyone was screaming that tariffs would collapse the global economy. “This is 1929 all over again.” The usual panic.
Same thing they said in August 2024. Same thing during the 2023 regional bank crisis when SVB blew up. Same thing in 2022, 2020, 2018, and every other time the world was supposedly ending.
Every single time it felt like the end of the world… was the time to actually buy.
But could you pull the trigger? When CNBC is telling you civilization is collapsing? When your portfolio is bleeding red? When everyone you know is panic-selling?
Most people can’t.
That’s What I Have for You Next.
I call it The Crisis Hunter.
It’s a systematic signal that tells you exactly when to step in during crisis moments.
Not every dip. Not every pullback. The real ones.
The signal only fires about 1-2 times a year. Sometimes not even that, if the year is so bullish we don’t get a proper correction.
But when it fires, it’s time. And you better be ready.
Imagine being the person who tells your friends, “This is it. This is the time to buy.”
Everyone calls you an idiot. They explain at length why you’re wrong.
You’ll love it. LOL
Then three months later, a year later, you’re so much further along. Because you stepped in when everyone else was scared. You did the hard thing when it was really hard to do.
That’s what this signal gives you. Not a gut feeling. Not a guess. A systematic trigger based on the same momentum logic that drives TrendLock.
Here’s just a few of the highlights…
This Is Included in Trendlock
The Crisis Hunter isn’t a separate system. It’s part of the package.
If you’re already a Trendlock member:
- It’ll appear on your dashboard automatically
- You’ll get the emergency email when the signal fires
If you’re not yet a member:
- You’ll get it when you sign up
- Included along with TrendLock and Monthly Flip
- Same price
Three systems. One subscription. All working together.
P.S. The next Monthly Flip signal goes out soon. The Sunday TrendLock signal runs every week. And when the next major crash happens, and it will happen, you’ll have a systematic way to buy the dip with confidence instead of fear. Get set up now so you’re ready.
