Hi, I am answering a little (more then a little!) late. By the way, Hello DCA, long time no see. And hello all SSPs. I just wanted to add to DCA’ s reply, mainly to this part of your question, “So then i assume this mean the software does not send email alerts on its intentions to buy/sell for 1 (or more) weeks or will one still get email alerts each day about the software intentions to buy/sell. I'd prefer to get email alerts for say Ultimate v4 and v5 only”Most portfolio especially the Momentum portfolios, receive orders only once a week. You may ask to receive the buy/sell orders only for the portfolios you want. The SSP investing is much much more complex then only issuing buy and sell orders. It is a whole sophisticated method to balance and rebalance your portfolio. And it’s theoretically only by following the rules that one will profit at best from the algorithm. It is a lot of calculations though, and I had it all programmed in an Excel sheet. In fact, there were some problems to trying to follow exactly, part of those problems were 1. Considering the fees that are not taken in account by the algorithm, 2. Buying exactly at the closing price 3. The portfolios are always considered as fully invested. Even if portfolios 4 and 5 seem the most profitable, I find it useful to receive the orders for all 5 portfolios once a week. It allows you either just to keep an eye on the new stock ordered “buy” and buy it when it reaches portfolio 4. Or buy right away a small position, sell if it doesn’t make it to portfolio 2, or add a little bit to your position each time the stock gets a buy order in the next Momentum portfolio. For sure you’ll have to rebalance a bit - unless you have a cash source never empty. But the idea of the algorithm is to start with a certain amount and keep it fully invested. But I think the most important thing to do it as close to the SSP formula as possible and that seems counter intuitive to many: add to your winning positions, and diminish your less winning or your loosing position. So many people try to average down, buying more when one stock’s price goes down . It is tempting… but the stock bought cheaper does not erase the loss made previously. I’ve been silent but following SSP for way more then 10 years now. Really the best I’ve seen. Worth clicking on their adds once in a while.

Hi Boingo, Please refer to this article. http://www.superstockpicker.com/forum/index.php?topic=4319.0Questrade has hidden fees called ECN fees. I realized it after opening Questrade account. Questrade fee is never $4.95, it is always $4.95 + ECN fees. Sometimes this ECN fee is more than $9 depending on the volume of shares you trade. So you may end up paying $12, $13, or even $15 dollars depending on volume of shares per trade and cost of each share. Other times, you get lucky and pay less than $9 per trade. Please call Questrade and inquire about ECN fees if you need more details.

Hi boingo,
SSP is essentially a momentum strategy. What we want is to buy a stock at a low price that is quickly going up to a high price and then sell. The trick is not to be leaping in to early on a stock that might have only had one quick small move or to be too late and buying a stock as its bubble bursts.
Each portfolio just waits the given number of weeks after the base one and issues a buy if the base is still holding at that point.
The four week delay does seem to be the best.
Often I use the picks in the base portfolio to do research into the stocks - if I like what I see I might buy early. Otherwise I wait the four weeks.

Hi boingo,
Short answer - yes.
With each days e-mail there is a direction of indicator and also the alert level. This is the TSX index level which if crossed would change the direction.
While I do not necessary rush into cash when it goes down it is a good indicator if buying is a good idea. Historically SSP portfolios do not do well during down markets.

Hi boingo,
Welcome to the Forum. Every broker has their good and bad points and it can be rather difficult to determine with certainty ahead of time which might be the cheapest. It does strongly depend on the number of trades, size of trades and total account holdings. All offer additional discounts for larger customers. (strangely some claim not to!)
Questrade, for instance, gives me trades at 1 cent a share to a 6.95 maximum but charges for data ($134/month for the data you would likely need for SSP [before discounts]) so this will work best if you do a lot of trades, mostly small volume trades, or trade without data.
Banks, on the other hand, usually include data but charge higher commissions (typically ~$10) so high volume trading of small lots can start to add up rapidly. On the other hand a buy and hold strategy would probably be the cheapest here.
There are other things to consider: With Questrade, an electronic fund transfer to or from your bank account will be completed the next day, whereas with Scotia iTrade it will take the full three days allowed. (I've also known them to hit me with a five day hold on the funds when they arrive at the bank.)

The Ultimate Price Momentum v4+ portfolio duplicates the Ultimate Price Momentum v2 portfolio when the Market Timing Indicator is UP and is 100% cash when the indicator is DOWN The market timing indicator currently indictes its down and so several portfolios are currently 100% cash. So it literally sells all holdings when the market indicates as being down? Is there an article that explains the workings of this indicator more? Specifically, is there specific threshold that the markets/stocks must hit before it considers dumping it all? I would assume it wouldnt be when the index drops 1 point Thank you.

Super Stock Picker very much intrigues me and want to follow it precisely, but with a potential for a high # of buys and sells (ie, Price Momentum can hold up to 10 stocks) it seems commissions can understandably get crazy high quickly. So, I'm wondering what discount broker you guys that run Super Stock Picker, and those who read this forum, use. For me, because i'm a noob i had been using my bank (TD) for several years but didn't realize until recently that i was getting shafted for things like inactivity. So i've been doing some research recently by hunting for other Canadian discount brokers (ideally, not one of the big banks) and am strongly leaning towards questrade after reading this in-depth questrade review or even Interactive Brokers since both their commissions appear to be the cheapest i've found. They dont have an inactivity fee, but IB does have one though . Are there better alternatives that i should consider? Ideally, one that has low (to none ) in commissions (if volume is high enough) and no inactivity or hidden fees. Although i will be starting with a small investment in Ultimate Price Momentum v4 (yay! i'm subscribed to the daily emails!) my intent is to add more funds every month and follow Stock Picker very closely -- every buy; every sell. But will trade volumes get so high (including re balancing buys/sells) that maybe even exploring a stock company's "high volume trader" accounts might be the best option when using Super Stock Picker? Most high volume accounts offered charge a monthly/quarterly fee though. Decisions...Decisions.
