Automated trading software on some of our favorite markets.

Its that time of the week again, lets review our automated trading software on some of our favorite markets.
Let’s start with our worst producer this month, Crude Oil.

You can see crude oil could barely hold a profit over the past 90 days.  Its no surprise, these markets have been nasty for automated system, lots of unexpected fundamentals making this market slop back and forth.

We’ve heard from many of our members that are using this for an ‘assisted’ entry and then taking profit at the next level of support/resistance.  These results are 100% automated, however, as you can see on these results there are plenty of ways to creatively use this to ENTER the trade, and then you can take profit at the major levels above/below you…im excited to share more about that on Monday in our members training.

$366 / month / contract is our average at this time

–          My goal is $1500/mo/contract on average, so we are below our goals for this
–          25 trades per month, costs you $125 in commissions assume $5/rt
–          Drawdown was much higher than the 2% we want to see
–          We will continue to use this, but watching closely and we are in the process of adding some new filters to avoid some of the false moves…exciting…more to come next week!
The Euro Futures have performed very well

The Euro also got beat up pretty badly as the dollar traded sideways the past few weeks, but its holding up much better than we thought.

–          $2925 this month trading 1 contract
–          23 trades cost you $115 to earn this
–          Very low drawdown, you only need $2500 in your account to make this work
Gold Futures also rebounded nicely from draw-downs end of May.
I had to break the Gold performance up over 2 contracts, the 06-11 and 08-11 contracts to accurately get our results.

You can see we earned a few hundred dollars in 06-11 and much more in the few days of trading in 08-11

–          $2,680 is your combined total profit per contract
–          48 trades were taken for a cost of $240 assume $5/rt
–          Drawdown still very low, all we need is $3200usd in this account to trade this
We can’t forget the Mighty Russell E-mini
The has always been one of our best producers, and it held up very well during the most difficult part of the previous month of chop and slop.

You can see we took fewer trades and made more money on the Russell than any other market, which is no surprise, if you look at our results the TF has always done very well.

–          $2,850 per contract per month
–          18 trades cost me $90usd  assume $5/rt
–          No overnight margin required
–          Very low drawdown, less than 2% which means you only $3200usd to trade this

We are ALWAYS improving this automated trading system, so expect to see some new things released on these VERY soon!

See you Monday @ 745am when we re-open the live trade room!
As Always We Love Your Feedback
