Reviews
Disregard the other review. This system based on flawed logic (clothing color and moods). Add to that a huge drawdown, which is likely in the future. Banning of others on forum is also a warning sign. This system is based on comparing clothing color and mood of CNBC staff to the market for a month. HEE HEE HEE lol From Cari’s paper (logic of system) “The collective mood of the CNBC staff before the market opening each day for 29 trading days was determined through scoring the clothing color and the mood of the commentary. They were scored using the One Wheel system… Probably a roulette wheel ROTFLMAO
The reviewer here (Ross of futures-systems.com, a competitor) is mistaken. The CNBC study was a preliminary study to test whether it was possible to find correlation between a small group (subset of society) and the stock market. The MMO system is based on 8 oscillating social mood factors which have been found to correlate well with stock market movement. Similarly the changes in perception of the U.S. government correlates with the dollar, and the changes in perception of the non-U.S. world by U.S. society correlates with crude oil. For more information on philosophy and methology, see:
http://anewstory.org/documents/methodology.pdf
There are a lot of things that MMO is not good for me: 1) Orders always at market or @stop that has already been crossed when you check, means you have to check mail every 10 minutes (no autotrade here). 2) NO STOP LOSS with orders. 3) Too much fluctuation allowed. Look at the chart. Cut the losses please.... 4) Comments on email are fun but "moody". Example: A)"In case the dollar goes up, we want to be ready" selling 11 contracts before it happens or "If it goes as we think, stock market rally and dollar recovery, the Yen should sell-off as well" And it sell 11 contracts again..... TOO RISKY 5) Orders are given anytime during the day, not before opening with a stop order. 6) Only before market opening, stop entry with stop orders systems should have anything above 60% imho.
MMO appears to be a truly novel approach to trading. Based upon mood oscillations in the major market-affecting components of society, market moves are inferred from these trends. In other words, MMO is based upon the premise that people move the markets, and not the reverse. All of this is explained in considerable detail in the vendor's monthly newsletter, along with (get this!) predicted trends for the entire month. The system, while still quite new, has racked up some amazing statistics, and returns thus far have been great. MMO is utterly fascinating, and certainly bears watching closely over the coming months.

System Description
Using a systems approach, our interdisciplinary research team gathers information on global psychology, socioeconomic trends, and geopolitics. Our model takes these inputs, overlays them on an oscillator of 8 components of societal emotion and behavior, and outputs future trends and trend changes in the S&P, the U.S. Dollar, and the price of Crude oil. Our indicator has been used to track periods of increased vulnerability to geopolitical events, as well as high-risk economic windows and periods of probable social instability. Funds received will assist us in furthering our research in creating sustainable society as well as tracking precursors to socioeconomic disruptions.
Forum: Sundays we post the outlook on Global Social Mood for the next week (the supporting global context for our trades). The monthly report MoodCompass is for subscribers only and presents our week by week outlook for the following month.
