Bear Trader text messaged alerts to subscribers to primarily trend (2-4 days) trade short or inverse market index ETFs. Subscribers also receive alerts to trade long market index ETFs at major market bottoms.  

The Bear Trader’s alerts are primarily derived from parent, Bull & Bear Tracker (BBT), an algorithm with a proven track record for substantially outperforming the market since 2018. Due to the heightening of volatility after the new secular bear market began.

In March of 2020, all of the Bull & Bear Tracker’s alerts became available exclusively to registered investment advisors. The Bear Trader subsequently became the exclusive provider of a portion of the Bull & Bear Tracker’s alert to subscribers. See Bear Trader “News”.

Bear Trader’s mission is to provide subscribers with opportunities to generate a net minimum of 100% of aggregate trading gains through the fourth quarter of 2022, which is when the markets have been forecasted to reach their final bottoms by the SCPA (Statistical Crash Probability Analyses) algorithm. Since the Bear Trader is in 100% cash for a majority of the time, it’s an ideal investment vehicle for the defensive investor.  

The table below depicts that for the 11 months ended May 31, 2020, the BBT’s signals to trade the S&P 500’s long (symbol: SPY) and short (symbol: SH) ETFs gained 91.3%.  This compared to a gain of 5.3% for the S&P 500.  Note that in the table below, the Bull & Bear Tracker’s best months were those in which the S&P 500 declined and had its worst months.

Bear Trader was conceived in March 2020 because of the following:

  • Significant increase in market volatility increased the risk for subscribers to trade all of the BBT’s long and short signals. Read article
  • Secular bull market which began in 2009 ended and was replaced by the ninth secular bear since 1802. Read article.  
  • BBT decision to no longer make all of its long and short signals available for subscription. Read article.    

The table below depicts all of the alerts sent to subscribers by the Bull & Bear Tracker for the behalf of Bear Trader from March 3, 2020 through May 29, 2020.  Bear Trader alerts produced a net gain of 14.72% from trading the Dow Jones and S&P 500 unleveraged ETFs (symbols: DOG, SPY, SH).  This compared to a decline of 2.0% for the Dow Jones 30 industrials index and an increase of 1.4% for the S&P 500.
