Anoduki: Passionate about generating superior returns ...
UK: 105.5% profit in 2008!
US: 78% profit in 2008!
We realise 105.5% and 78% sound too good to be true but there is no trickery involved - we greatly magnify the returns through the use of leverage. When unleveraged the returns are much more ordinary at around 12% and 9% respectively - still miles better than most people and almost all funds!
Most people mis-use leverage by taking positions that are too large for too long in stocks that are too slow moving so that the financing costs eat away the profits. Our strategy is to identify potentially profitable trades of a very short duration (average 6 days - often less). This approach ensures financing charges do not eat away the profits and usually amount to a negligible cost compared to the overall trade profit.
FREE: Advertisers pay us so you don't have to!
When we started out we quickly realised we would have to do something pretty radical to stand out from the crowd of scams. Google offer GMail for free, OpenOffice.org offer an excellent Microsoft Office replacement product for free, Skype offer a telephone service for free; why not offer a quality stock picking service for free? We decided to adopt the ad-supported model whereby our advertisers pay us to advertise to you so you can get our service for free. This way people will understand that we have everything to lose and nothing to gain from offering a sub-standard product. If the service we offer doesn't work we will not achieve the subscribers we need to pay for the advertising to keep us going and ultimately serve as a showcase for what we can do.
We must stress that we have no control over the ads that get served up by Google and indeed have already noticed some fall into the outrageous claims the defy belief - i.e. probably scams. Please be aware that we are in no way affiliated with any firm that advertises here. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to ensure a better quality of ad is served up. We'll take this up with Google.
Get rich slowly
Looking for a get rich quick scheme? Best you look elsewhere. We aren't going to promise you 1000% returns or suggest every trade will be profitable. There are plenty of scams on the net that do so it shouldn't be too difficult for you to find one that appeals to you.
Black text with a yellow highlighted background, fake testimonials (identical to ones that appear on other sites for other products) and outrageous claims of wealth (cars, houses, planes!) are sure signs of these.
Just do yourself a favour and search for the product name on Google along with the word scam and then check out what people who have been sucked into the scam have to say about it.
Once you realise that there is no such thing as get rich quick, come back and check us out. We believe that if you look at what we are providing in a rational way you will understand that we really are offering something very valuable for nothing, no catches, no hidden charges. We charge advertisers - we don't charge you!
Some would say that an average of more than 50% per year for the last 5 years is a get rich claim. We suggest you think this through and do the math. What amount would you use as starting capital? What is 50% of that? Now deduct the tax you would of course pay. What you are left with should then be added to your starting capital. Repeat this for a few years. This will not make you fabulously rich but it is a good solid platform for ensuring you have a comfortable retirement or over time achieve other financial goals that are important to you.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance
It's a standard disclaimer that every financial services firm has to say. We're no different. We have a pretty good track record but we don't know what the future may bring.
Having said that, past performance is the only indicator we have. Whether it be future financial performance or future performance of an athlete, sports team, individual or pretty much anything else you care to name; the past performance usually is the most reliable indicator of future performance! That is why we, like every other financial services company, publish our past performance as it is the only possible indicator of future performance we have!
We'll show you how to make money
Here is how our service works:
- We perform daily analysis of various markets using our time tested methodologies
- We publish signals each night
- We'll email you to let you know the signals are published
- You follow the signals: enter buy and sell orders good for the day
With practice you can enter your orders each morning in 15 minutes or less before heading to work. You do not need to watch the market at all.
Global Financial Crisis
As you can see from the results above our strategy works well in both bull (2004 - mid 2007) and bear (mid 2007 - present) markets. So long as there is volatility in the markets our strategy will generate superior returns.
Many people have been whipped into a frenzy by the media focus on the current turmoil in the markets. This is particularly distressing for those that rely on pensions based on stocks where the conventional wisdom is that stock represent the best long term investment. It wears a bit thin if you've seen the value of your pension drop by over 30%.
Our methods are based on actively monitoring the market then getting in and out quickly to take advantage of large potential profits. The more volatile the markets get - the better our strategies have performed.
The current conditions also described as Market Meltdown represent opportunities rather than threats to us. We subscribe to Warren Buffet's view that you should "be greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy but don't think you can outsmart the market." This contrarian approach has proven successful to us over our trading years and it is this approach that we are offering to you.
Integrity
We have started a dialogue with the Financial Services Authority. This is not a necessity - we do this voluntarily in the interest of further establishing credibility and providing our subscribers with greater levels of confidence. We understand the process of accreditation with them can take around 6 months from when we apply. We are working to clarify a few more things and will then apply for accreditation.
Powerful yet easy
No complicated short selling, gambling on spreads or guessing currency movement; just easy to understand buying and selling stocks for profit - using leverage to magnify returns.
How do we do it?
While we can't give away all our secrets we can tell you in general terms how our methodology has been developed over the years ...
Most of us have traded for other people during the corporate part of our careers. During this time core values were instilled in us around strategy (you must have trading goals and a trading plan designed to help you achieve those goals), risk management (little understood by but vital for private investors) and patience.
Of these patience is by far the most important. We've seen and heard how many an aspiring trader came undone simply due to some unexplainable need to be in the market. They seem to believe that they are missing the boat by not being in the market, jump in and then get burnt. When combined with the lack of risk management understanding, especially if leverage is involved, the results can be catastrophic.
Our strategy has been carefully tuned over years of trading. We use a combination of fundamental qualitative analysis combined with adaptive computational quantitative modeling to generate our signals. When trading we adhere strictly to a proven risk management plan. Finally we err on the side of caution and quality over impatience and quantity to ensure that we produce only a few signals of which fewer still will be traded and when combined with leverage should yield superior returns.
Vital statistics

Translated, historically ...
- losses have been small,
- profitability has been high,
- only around 1 in 10 orders result in trades,
- great quality trades don't come along very often,
- 7 out of 10 trades result in profit,
- 3 out of 10 trades result in loss,
- very few simultaeneous trades will occur.
We can custom develop a trading strategy for you
Our strategies are mathematically based. Over the years (before Anoduki) we've successfully run with two styles of trading; Momentum and Contrarian. Quite simply the first is 'identify a trend and run with it' and the second is 'identify a short term trend and go against it'.
These seem contradictory but mathematically they aren't. The math behind them is very complex indeed. We test the strategies over large amounts of sample stock data to determine how the strategies would have run in the past. We then tune the strategies to ensure they exhibit
the kind of properties we want such as good profitability, low drawdown and low frequency (we prefer a few high quality trades to lots of mediocre ones). We optimise but we do not curve fit. We then run the strategies over more current out of sample data to ensure the in sample
data results can be duplicated.
This website is a showcase of what we can do. We figure our very public disclosure of the strategies and on-going results is testament to the confidence we have in our approach.
Strategies can take anywhere from 1 -6 months to fully develop and test. We are interested in adapting our existing strategies to European and so call BRIC economy markets. If this is of interest to you then please contact us.
More strategies coming
Soon we'll complement our first two Contrarian strategies with Momentum strategies for the UK and US stock markets. These have proven very profitable over the long term particularly during bull markets. There is little point to publishing them now as they haven't generated a signal since late 2007. Once a bull market is underway they will no doubt generate more signals.
The current bear market we are in will surely change to a bull market at some point in the future - they always do. (We adhere to the definitions expounded by Pagan and Sossounov [2001].) As we see this happen we will publish our Momentum strategies.

If you are still unsure ...
We suggest you subscribe then paper trade one or both strategies for a time. To do this you would follow the signals and record them for yourself tracking which result in profitable trades.
