What makes this program unique?
Many market players lose over time. Even 80% of professional money managers perform below the S&P500. Option players lose 90% of the time. Why? Because they are trading on a hope and a prayer, tips, pure emotion or out of a get-rich-quick mentality. Also, many computerized programs, black boxes and advisory services use the same technical indicators and consequently are getting the same results. No wonder they lose! In short, there is no discipline, rational goals or originality.
Our signals are based on original formulas and concepts. When signals occur, Pendulum can predict market direction for the next several weeks, in some cases longer, with unusual accuracy and precision. Pendulum's current accuracy rate is high. Please see the Record page fordetails. Profit potential is dependent on the investment vehicle employed.

Pendulum uses the XAU and the S&P500 indexes because they provide a broad and accurate market health and trend direction metrics.
