About this strategy

General description

The system trades mainly S&P futures, but will be open to opportunities in other markets. Limit is one open contract per market, for scaling purposes and limit portfolio risk. A propriety method for entries / exits is implemented.

TrendTrax could be part of a well diversified portfolio, consisting of stocks, bonds, futures and forex. That's why its limited to a single contract per market and a low use of leverage.

However, without risk there is no reward, properly scaled and managed, risk can be tolerable.

I do advice to look at the system for a while and decide based on live data and the hypothetical track record on C2 if it is suitable to your investment objectives.

Best to all,
Brian Mulder (developer)

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.
