System Design

SPX Edge is a 100% mechanical system. The system was designed using simple statistical edges that trades the S&P E-Mini contracts.

The System is primarily an end of day system. SPX Edge trades between 1 to 2 times per month for an average of 19 times per year. Trade Duration ranges from 2 to 7 days. The System trades only during regular market sessions only.

Performance of SPX Edge

Below are some basic backtesting results from August 2003 to August 2013. Starting capital was $20,000. Slippage of 1 tick or $12.50 per trade and a commission of $3.00 per trade was used. Actual slippage should be less since limit orders are used on approximately 25% of the trades.

Profit Factor: 2.76
Percent Profitable: 62.43%
Average Annual Return: 71.3%
Starting Capital: $20,000
Ending Capital: $4,338,852


Visit the SPX Edge Website at http://www.spxedge.com for more details on SPX Edge history, development process and backtesting results.

What to Expect

Entering a Position: Two types of orders are given. Either a limit order before the start of the day, or a market order near the close of regular session will be given.

Exiting a Position: Excluding a stop loss, a market order will be given prior to the last 15 minutes of the regular trading session.

Stop Loss: Stop Loss orders are given shortly after a position has been filled. The Stop loss orders are for day session only. Stop Loss orders will expire at the end of each day. A new stop loss order will be given prior to the start of a new day.

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.
