About this strategy

With over a decade of trading experience, we developed a software system many years ago which can accurately show buying and selling signals for trading stock and futures markets. We use signals generated from this computer system for predicting the Dow Jones e-mini market trend (YM) and had set up A Strategy for YM for trading YM futures, ES Daily Cache for trading e-mini ES futures and UDOW Trend Signals for trading DJIA ETFs in an IRA friendly way. The current strategy is for trading e-mini ES futures for S&P 500. Concepts of Nobel Prize winners have been incorporated in our algorithm.

Besides issuing trading signals to our subscribers, we also trade our own account according to these signals. We recommend the use of an autotrade desk to execute trades accordingly. It will minimise the hardship of monitoring the market when one is not readily available to do the trades.

The trades can be reversed when an opposite signal is given, so the trade is almost always on.

Normally the average no. of ES contracts traded is 3 to 4 for each trade and there could be 4 trades in a day, with positions lessened closer to the end of trading days, depending on market conditions. To cater to volatile market conditions, please always reserve contingency funds for a total of 6 to 7 contracts to leverage the market. The margin required is around $50,000 on average. Please set your scaling factor as 50% or less if you wish to trade a maximum of 3 contracts only, each contract requiring margin around $8000 if you trade with Interactive Brokers.

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.
