Summary

The nature of CQSP is short-term and the average trade length is projected to be under 5 trading days although it could be as short as minutes and as long as weeks. The current trading method relies on two types of analysis - pattern recognition and forecasts based on technical indicators. Multiple systems with varying timeframes are used in each area to generate entry and exits in the traded markets. Forecast based systems are designed to take long or short positions. Pattern based strategies consist of some systems that are long-only and others that are long/short depending on the pattern used.
