About

In tracking his positive and negative Volume Reversal (tm) signals, Mr. Leibovit has been able to develop buy and sell signals on the markets and profitably exploit the momentum and volatility of short-term moves in a stock or index. His trading strategy provides clearly defined risk-management guidelines based on his technical volume indicators.

Mark Leibovit also appears as a regular Market Monitor guest with Paul Kangas on PBS' The Nightly Business Report.

His Annual Forecast Model (available at VRTrader.com) has gained increasing notoriety on Wall Street as a predictor of future market movement. Released each year in early February, it has accurately pinpointed market highs and lows. It's claim to fame began back in 1987 when it predicted the ominous stock market crash nine months in advance. It also forecast the 2000 bear market - the report released February 1, 2000 entitled: 'It Looks Like An Honest to Goodness Bear Market'.

Mr. Leibovit has just been named the #1 U.S. Market Timer for 2006 and was previously ranked the #1 Intermediate Market Timer in the U.S. for the ten year period ending December 31,2007 by TIMER DIGEST magazine. He was also previously ranked the #3 Gold Timer in the U.S. by that same publication.

Mr. Leibovit was a member of Midwest Options Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange where he became a market maker in 1976. In 1979, after consulting with several regional brokerage firms, he left the floor and began publishing his newsletter The Volume Reversal Survey, now VRTrader.com. He holds a CIMA and AIF designation and is a member of the Market Technicians Association (MTA) and the CFA Institute.
