Larry Tomlinson has been involved in technical analysis
of the Markets since 1986. His system of four technical
methods combined with the five Market Risk Models
allow the investor to minimize loss of capital during periods
of high risk to market declines. Assets are moved into
secure Money Markets during high risk and as risk improves
and technical methods confirm, assets are returned to the
Markets. "My approach to investing is unique; risk to capital
loss is my first screen when investment decisions are made.
Return is then given careful analysis. My methods combine
four technical analysis tools to identify the trend of price action
and forecast the most probable path the market will follow.
Five risk models identify three levels of risk and stock-money
market percentage allocations are based on the total level
of risk to capital loss.

I began working on this system in 1986 when I bought my first stock. Technical analysis intrigued me and I spent an average of twenty hours a week studying and researching. Econometric forecasting followed almost immediately behind technical analysis. By the end of 1986 five factors that most effect market risk of capital loss were identified. Four years of study of market behavior  resulted in the construction of the models for the Market Risk management system.
  In 1990 I decided to pursue a career in the markets. Received a series six brokers license and went to work for a Mutual Fund company. I learned very quickly this was not what I wanted to do. I enjoy the technical and forecasting side of the markets not the sales. Resigned the position and doubled my efforts on Risk Management research. By 1994 the system parameters were defined and the system was complete. Efforts to most effectively share this information led me to America Online Decision Point boards. A market risk file was created and several messages posted. There did not seem to be much interest in market risk and this surprised me. The idea of using E-mail on the Internet to provide a technical analysis and market risk service resulted in the creation of Market Charts."

Market Charts analysis is based on four methods. Larry uses two systems of cycle timing, Elliott wave to understand where we are in a market pattern, Fibonacci price relationships and some Gann methods to complete the system. Market risk management models are then looked at to suggest an asset allocation. This gives the individual investor information and a better understanding of how to minimize loss of profits gained in bull markets (higher highs-higher lows) by being aware of risk. A greater total return is realized due to low exposure in declining markets and aggressive exposure during low risk markets.
