About this strategy

SystematicBlue SP500 trades the S&P500 using SSO, an ETF that reflects two times the daily returns of the S&P500. It is an end of day system with its design focus being simplicity and low drawdown for the return it generates.

The system is 100% mechanical, has not changed since inception, and is fully software automated (with human oversight). Most trades cluster around market dips with the occasional trend following trade. The strategy will never add to a position, does not short or use margin, and will tend to take losses rather than "hold and hope."

SB SP500 scales easily and is IRA and manual trader friendly. Signal levels are released to manual traders about 1/2 hour after market open. Note that the developer trades the system manually with his own 401k.

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.
