Yesterday,<\/a> I showed you that I earned an A+ grade on my entry-level trading service…<\/p>\n

(And yes… right now, you can get it for just $19<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Part of how I got that grade – and helped my readers make 114% ­ – is with a winning strategy that I call the “Pulse System.”<\/p>\n

So today, I thought I would take you deeper into how it works…<\/p>\n

Simple Method, Repeatable Results <\/h2>\n

It’s simple, really… the Pulse system looks for stocks that have moved far away from their “moving averages,” and are set up to snap back to them.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example, using one of my favorite stocks to trade – the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX):<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Image\"<\/p>\n

In mid-April 2023, GDX was trading near $36 per share. The stock had rallied from $27 a few weeks earlier. It was now in an extended, overbought condition – and vulnerable to a pullback.<\/p>\n

The various moving averages (the squiggly lines on the chart) were extended far away from each other. And, at $36 per share, GDX was trading historically far above its 50-day moving average (the blue line).<\/p>\n

At first glance, this looked like a good setup for betting on a decline in GDX.<\/p>\n

But, I didn’t recommend a trade – because there was something missing…<\/p>\n

So, I passed on the trade.<\/p>\n

Waiting for the Right Pulse<\/h2>\n

Instead, I waited until the momentum indicators showed “negative divergence” – which they did by early May.<\/p>\n

Following that quick decline in April, GDX rallied back up to the $36 level. Once again, the stock was overbought and trading far above its 50-day MA. All of the moving averages were extended far away from each other.<\/p>\n

So, the chart showed nearly the exact same setup as it did in mid-April – with one key difference…<\/p>\n

This time, this time, the MACD and RSI indicators were lagging the move.<\/p>\n

While GDX was rallying and trying to make a higher high, the momentum indicators were making lower highs. The momentum behind this rally was weakening, an early warning sign of a decline.<\/p>\n

This was a much better setup for a short trade.<\/p>\n

GDX was just as overbought and extended as it was a few weeks earlier, but this time there was a higher probability that GDX could pull back towards its 50-day moving average line.<\/p>\n

So, I recommended a position that would profit as GDX snapped back towards its 50-day MA.<\/p>\n

Here’s what happened next…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Image\"<\/p>\n

It took less than two weeks for GDX to snap back to its 50-day MA. Folks who bet on the decline by selling the stock short could have made $3 per share. That’s a gain of nearly 9% – in just two weeks.<\/p>\n

That’s not bad.<\/p>\n

But, we generated a gain nearly seven times<\/em> greater by using options.<\/p>\n

Rather than selling shares of GDX short, I recommended an option trade that earned 65% over the same time frame.<\/p>\n
