About this strategy

My system will buy or sell at least two futures contracts of a specific commodity and will always be backed by a stop loss position. Half of the contracts will have a profit target and the other half will be stopped out with a hopeful profit. All signals will be computer driven. Signals will be sent between 4:00 pm and 11:00 pm Central time on Sunday through Thursday.

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.
