Floyd Upperman and Associates ("FUA") specialize in providing individual professionals (traders, speculators, hedgers and investors) sophisticated and powerful proprietary trading systems, including unique statistical studies and seasonal  analysis.  FUA take the burden of data management and market analysis off the individual professional, which in turn allows individual professionals to focus their attention entirely on the business of managing their own market activity versus sifting through data, fiddling with computers, uploading software and so on. 

Each FUA indicator serves a specific purpose and provides unique information about the market.  FUA indicators are designed to provide a thorough analysis without redundancy.  Due to widely available and cheap computing power today, many traders often fall into the trap of thinking that more indicators and more computer power is the answer to more effective market timing.  If this were the case,  computers would be making the trading decisions, and highly paid fund managers and individual hedge fund managers would be out of jobs.  Yet that is not the case.  Fund managers are still making multi-million dollar salaries and computers are simply their tools. Clearly however, computer power can be of assistance to individual speculators and traders, but one must remember that computers only understand  what we program them to understand.  Thus the real insight resides with the individual directing the programming.

Many new traders and speculators make the mistake of believing the more indicators they have on their side, the better off or better their chances of succeeding.  This is not true however as many popular software programs simply provide hundreds (or thousands in some cases) of indicators that simply do the same thing internally.  These indicators all arrive at the same conclusion because they are doing the same thing essentially (at the formula level).  The indicators might 'look' different, but essentially the individual is looking at the same result.  For example, a pie-chart and bar-chart will look very different, even when both charts contain the same information.   What is most important is that the individual understands the chart or indicator they are using!

FUA have developed and carefully selected specific indicators that provide a complete and thorough market analysis with little to no redundancy.

Floyd Upperman has spent the last 15 years studying the markets and developing his unique trading systems.  His software combines unique price indicators with public domain indicators and in-depth price structure analysis and pattern recognition.  In addition, FUA software also heavily utilizes the Commitments of traders ("COT") data.  The software dissimilates, correlates and combines this data with price structure and seasonal market behavior.  The aim is to achieve a complete assessment with true leading measure (beyond that obtained from traditional lagging price indicators).
