Trading Model Introduction

The Buy and Hold trading model.

The Buy Model is always true.

The Sell Model is always false.

The Security we have chosen is GE and the Safe Harbor is SPY.

This Trading Model is the simplest trading model possible. It signals to buy immediately and hold forever.  

When using Buy and Hold, the Trading Model and the Security (stock) will always be precisely the same line. This won’t be true for more complex trading models.
