Floyd's trading strategies are based on many years of observations. He combines traditional price indicators with non-traditional indicators.  The majority of all traditional futures indicators are derived from 7 data points. The 7 key data points are as follows:
(1) opening price (2) high price (3) low price (4) closing price (5) price change from previous close (6) volume,  and (7) open interest.

Floyd's strategies include indicators derived from the 7 key data points in conjunction with indicators derived from other data.  The other data include the COT data, CIT data and the disaggregated COT data.  Floyd has developed unique charting software to manage traditional and non-traditional data.  Floyd's trading strategies and his unique charting software are available to subscribers of this website. 

Floyd spends countless hours observing markets, trading markets, studying markets, analyzing markets, and developing trading tools and strategies to trade markets!

Floyd's trading strategies go beyond what 90% of the majority focus on. Floyd believes its prudent to incorporate and monitor some of what "everyone else" is focused on,  but the key is to combine the traditional with the non-traditional,  and to focus on what others are looking at during certain periods of time (i.e. routine market conditions) while also monitoring information that few (less than 10%) are focused on during the unusual periods (i.e. extreme price activity).
