Automated Trading System Strategy Review
Let’s take a moment to review how our fully-automated trading system did today on wacky Wednesday of OPEX.
Yesterday we looked at Gold Futures and saw amazing results for 1 contract or 10 contracts.
Now let’s see how crude oil did in this challenging trading environment today
Let’s start with 1 contract on crude oil, all you need is $1500usd to start trading this, easy.
As you can see our auto trader held up nicely today. We expected to see a loss (or two) with such choppy price action today, but you can see how well this automated strategy removes all the ‘noise’ from the market and focuses on only the best positions. 
Check out the long term results on this strategy, this is what matters most
The things I’m most concerned with are total profit, the number of trades it took, and the average number of trades per day.
What makes this auto strategy so successful is its ability NOT to overtrade your account. The biggest killer for accounts using an automated strategy is overtrading on a bad day.
Any auto trader makes money on the easy days…but does it give it back AND MORE on the bad days?
Not with THIS strategy!
Lets add 1 more contract to this and see how it looks, now we’re trading with 2 contracts and scaling out of our position to take profit a little earlier, and then waiting for the runner to get filled.
As you can see the same trades were taken, however, we scale-out of our positions with 2 contracts, and you can clearly see that this now allows more winning trades, which is great, locking in profit, so that if the trade reverses we will always make SOMETHING off the move.
Check out the long term results with 2 contracts…and remember you only need $3000usd to start with this.
That’s pretty exciting…you can start with 1 contract, and in 3 weeks you will be trading with 2 contracts and making $2000/mo per 2 contracts.
Now lets kick it up one more notch…how about trading 3 contracts? Now we can take profit twice during the trade and if the trade reverses we wont lose as much profit because we already took profit earlier in the move.
As you can see, still taking the SAME trades, but now our profit goes through the roof!
The smaller moves that 1 contract missed and took a loss is NOW a WINNER because we took profit a little earlier, locking in our money, and eliminating the risk.
The long term numbers don’t lie….this is pretty exciting stuff.
We did a special training on the Auto Trader today in our members-only session and it was a big hit.
Are you ready to get started with this? Its easy.
– Our next training on the auto trader is next Wednesday when we return from our break over the weekend.
– Contact our support team for more info on how you can attend that training.
As always, thanks to the MEMBERS for making all of this possible. You are all incredible, keep it up!
