Client Success Stories
Collaborating to Innovate: The David S&P 500 Aggregate Baskets Indicator
Robert David, Professional Investment Advisor and Money Manager, Client Since 2021
We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new user-driven indicator—the David S&P 500 Aggregate Baskets—created in collaboration with one of our long-time subscribers, Robert David, a professional investment advisor and money manager at Bluewater Investment Strategies, A Member of Advisory Services Network, LLC, who has been part of the SentimenTrader community since 2021.
‍

Time Frame: Short-Term | Update Schedule: Daily | Source: SentimenTrader

Robert approached us on September 5 with an idea based on a scan he’s successfully used in his own practice for years, called "S&P Selective Value." He wanted to quantify the results of this scan to provide more actionable insights for managing portfolios. Working closely with our team, Robert shared the parameters, and together we developed the David S&P 500 Aggregate Baskets—a tool that identifies oversold stocks in the S&P 500 using specific technical criteria, such as a two-week price decline and a 2-period RSI below 10. This simple yet effective scan has historically highlighted market bottoms and predicted rebounds with above-average returns. 
‍
The collaboration process was a series of email exchanges, smooth and rewarding, with our team building the indicator and incorporating Robert’s real-world expertise experience to ensure it fits the needs of other professionals and retail investors alike. The David S&P 500 Aggregate Baskets indicator went live on September 19 and is now available for all users to explore directly from their dashboard. 
‍
This joint effort is an excellent example of how we work with our clients to bring unique, actionable tools to life. We encourage other professionals in our community to reach out if they have ideas for new indicators or models they’d like to see developed. Your feedback and insights help us continue to innovate and improve the resources available to you.
Custom Strategy Development
Client Since 2022
On the topic of ongoing technical development, we’re excited to share a heartwarming testimonial from one of our subscribers, who prefers to remain anonymous. This client has been with us since early 2022 and describes himself as a retail trader who actively uses our sentiment indicators and strategies. Recently, he reached out to explore the possibility of creating a strategy based on Jay Kaeppel’s article, “The interest rate/commodity relationship that hides in plain sigh,” published on August 8, 2024.
 

Our team made this happen within two weeks, and the client was so impressed that he sent us the following testimonial:  
‍
“…Lastly, I recently read an article they'd written that explained a commodities strategy based on interest rates. I asked how to implement it via their tools. They were incredibly responsive to my request and emailed me detailed instructions on how to implement the strategy. They made me feel like I'm their most important client. For anyone looking to buy low and sell high ... I cannot recommend SentimenTrader enough.” 
‍
We take pride in our ability to respond to our clients’ needs and tailor our tools to enhance your trading strategies. If you have ideas or strategies you’d like to see implemented, we’re here to listen and collaborate. Don’t hesitate to reach out—your feedback helps us continue to innovate and deliver the tools you need to succeed in the markets.
