About this strategy

Princeton Capital Trading has devised a systematic trading system based on a set of interrelated principles, rules and procedures to enter and exit the market. It predominantly trades the FTSE futures contract for now .

Time horizions are mainly intraday with overnight positions very rare indeed. Every trade posted here is also traded by Princeton Capital Tradings account. Market orders are the preferred orders for entry. Stops and profit targets are entered simultaneously on every opening trade and then tightened to lock in profit as conditions would permit. Princeton Capital Trading ALWAYS advocates the use of stops.

The purpose of trading is to produce profits. The main reasons a trading system helps this pursuit are its quantifiability, verifiability, consistency, and objectivity.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
