Controlling drawdowns is the key to long-term wealth preservation
A 50% drawdown requires a 100% gain just to break even. That is why cutting losses matters more than chasing gains. The UIS Risk Rating gives you at least one month's advance warning of every Bear and Big Bear crash since 1997 — allowing you to exit on your terms, not in a panic.
Explore our guides below on cutting losses, why the UIS Risk Rating outperforms technical indicators, what to trade, and the full historical track record.
01How to Cut Losses and Drawdowns
The UIS Risk Rating helps you avoid the next big S&P500 crash by forecasting market conditions up to 12 months ahead. Exit calmly at the close on an up day, rather than scrambling out on a stop loss once the fall has already started.

02Why the UIS Risk Rating Works Better

03What to Trade with UIS Risk Rating
