About this strategy

System interface testing is complete for autotrading. This system is now ready for additional subscribers.

To trade my signals requires a daytrading account. For most subscribers, this means a 25k minimum, 30k recommended to allow for drawdowns.

I recommend a low commission brokerage with fast fills for trading this system. Interactive Brokers is one such brokerage. Interactive Brokers and Tradebullet is a combination that seems to work pretty good for autotrading.

Part of the reason I'm doing this is to allow investments banks and hedge funds to see my track record. Most require a six month to two year audited record before allocating capital to a trader. If I can make some additional money allowing people to subscribe to my signals, that's great too. However, if slippage becomes an issue, I will close the system to new subscribers.

While no system can guarantee risk-free or low-risk trading, and while unforeseen events can cause you to lose all your money, I do make an effort to control risk. I try to size the stop for each trade to be around 1% risk of total capital.

If you are recent subscriber or contemplating becoming a subscriber, please allow me to make the following suggestion for how to begin trading a system, mine or anyone else's.

1. Paper trade. Use simulator mode for the first week. If you are using Tradebullet and IB, you can do this.

2. Trade small shares. Once you are satisfied with the performance of the system in simulator mode, try trading a small percentage of what your normal scaling factor would be. Even if commissions eat up most of your profits during this trial period, it's good discipline to prove to yourself that you can withstand the losses and still be around to enjoy the gains.

3. Once the system has proven to perform as you expected, slowly increase your exposure. If it doesn't perform as expected, don't increase your exposure. It's a lot more fun to take greater risk when you are up than when you are down.

4. Don't flip in and out of a system. Nothing is worse than subscribing after a system has a gain and unsubscribing after a loss and then missing the next gain. If you find yourself doing this, it's usually an indication you are trading with too much size. Try scaling back your exposure. It should help you ride out the ups and downs.

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.
