About this strategy
7-7-2010/ System seems to have picked up where it left off in 2008. This system is price and Volitility based and up until now doesn't seem to perform very well in lower volitility environments. After watching the system in the drawdown period I feel I have now corrected(with a few minor adjustments) the problem and I believe this system will now perform in all market conditions. I do believe after further manual backtest that this system will always perform better in higher volitility environments but the equity curve should now continue to rise or stay flat in lower volitility. The fact that this system is able to dig its way out of a drawdown and seems to be on its way to new equity highs is very promising. Remember that the low number of trades that this system produces every month is to the traders benefit in keeping commissions as low as possible. S&P Mini Rainmaker will always trade just one contract on C2, that way its easier for the subscriber to adjust the number of contracts they would like to trade in there own account based on there own risk tolerance.
-The above statement is my opinion. There are obviously no guarantees in trading.

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.
