How accurate is the trade advice provided by The Daily Risk Appetite Gauge in The Trader?
At times, it’s uncannily accurate, with the recommendations accurately timing entry points into LONG and SHORT trades. But like all trading tools it’s not correct all the time. Our aim is to get a hit rate on recommendations that is significantly over 50% (and to run the winners and cut the losers).
