About this strategy

The Mammoth Investment strategy seeks to take advantage of mid-term trends in order to minimize trades and reduce losses from excessive trading. Risk Management is an essential element of the Mammoth Investment strategy. In order to be successful in the long term, risk must be managed in a manner to provide profits yet not cause excessive losses.

Strategy trades leveraged Index, Sector Specific, and Commodity ETF"s such as TQQQ, UPRO, URTY, UGL, and UYG. System enters trades with average in techniques to reduce risk.

Risk is limited to approximately 2% of account equity per trade.

FAQ's:

1. Are your system’s signals discretionary or are they algo driven with signals generated automatically?

Discretionary. We evaluate daily charts as well as longer time frames. News events such as earnings, OPEC meetings, political events, etc play a role in our actions.

2. Is it best to auto trade the system?

Auto trade is not required, but may be useful if you cannot trade signals manually during the day.

3. Does the system hold long positions only?

Only Longs, but does take short positions with Short ETF's.

4. Does the system utilize margin and if so how much?

No margin is used as it is provided using the leveraged ETF's.

5. Are target prices to sell given for each trade?

No targets, just market action.

6. Are stop losses given for each trade?

Stop loss orders are used to limit a loss to the 2% of equity level.

7. Does the system add to losing positions?

Never adds to losers.

8. How long will you hold a losing position before closing it and accepting a loss?

Max Risk per trade is set at 2% of account equity but is usually less.

9. Do you have a strategy for preventing a large system drawdown?

We invest in various markets to distribute risk and reduce the exposure to a single market.

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.
