About this strategy

This system trades primarily intraday on the SP 500 Emini. It is a discretionary system using specific pattern setups. Please note that orders can be changed quickly due to the short time frame traded and market conditions.
Although the strategy in Collective2 started with $50,000 a minimum of $25,000.00 is appropriate for this method and will use mostly a multiple exit strategy. Understand the hypothetical returns listed for this strategy will be different based on account size.
I started trading back in 1996. I started trading full time in 2000. I have co-authored 2 books with Larry Pesavento, 'Trade What You See, How to Profit from Pattern Recognition', Wiley and Sons 2007, and 'Essentials of Trading, It's Not What You Think, But How You Think', Traders Press 2004 (currently out of print). I have published many articles in trade industry magazines and taught many seminars and webinars and also am a Chartered Market Technician, CMT. I have an educational website, www.tradingliveonoline.com. This particular strategy uses pattern recognition and some other signals. It is primarily a day trading strategy for the SP 500 Emini. The goal is to maintain a low drawdown and steadily rising equity curve. It will on average have 2-3 trades a day, sometimes fewer and sometimes more depending on market conditions. It is a discretionary system.
Risk: Trading Futures, Options on Futures, stocks, ETF's and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time.

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.
