Automated Trading Strategies Review
Hi guys, it’s that time of the week again, let’s take a moment to review our results on our fully-automated trading system, which comes with our Advanced Membership.
Let’s start with the worst earner of the group…Gold Futures.
I’m going to take a look at 2 different scenarios…the long term…and the short term…and you can see for yourself how we’ve done on Gold Futures.
First let’s look at the short term results, the last 30 days, and remember during this time most professional Gold traders were on the sidelines, so these numbers are pretty amazing considering this is 100% automated.
You can see this system has been out of the market more than it was in the market in the past week or so, which is because the volume has been so low with the choppy price action we’ve seen.
You can see the short term numbers are a loss, and I wanted to use this as a good example of how automation works. Our method is designed to produce profit over the long term, not trying to jump in and jump out like a day trader would.
You can see the longer term results are still very good considering the situation we are in with Gold Futures.
Now let’s talk profit…
Next let’s review the Euro Currency Futures, which broke even this month after taking only 18 trades. Once again, markets have been challenging and one thing very promising with this method has always been its ability to remove itself from markets that are NOT looking good.
You can see we’re in the right direction, but these markets have had very sloppy ranges and you can see the most recent results are showing it.
Remember, just look at this on a 90 day results and you see pretty great returns on even the smallest accounts with the euro margins being so low.
Now let’s look at Crude Oil futures…
Crude Oil has always been one of our favorites, and it continues to impress even during the most challenging of market conditions.
Looking at this chart of this week’s trades you can see a few losses, but this is an example of how efficient this strategy is. 30 tick stops and 100 tick targets are the reason these results look so good in such hard to trade markets for automation.
We only needed 18 trades this month to earn $2500 usd in profits…per contract!!
Next on the list…the mighty Mini-Russell, which has been getting hammered with low volume..but our fully-automated strategy works just fine, consistently pulling in profits on every market it trades.
You can see we are currently in a long position which will be closed out for a likely profit before the close (no overnight margins on this!).
Look at the losses it took on the big drop down…and then look at these results and you can see how well this auto strategy holds up in tough times.
You can see this strategy did a great job holding onto the profits it made during the good times and with some choppy markets at this time (will only be temporary, always is) it held up well.
I’m excited to see what this looks like when we get back to ‘normal’ price action when the fears in Europe subside a little, and people get back to normal trading every day.
We’re excited to share this automated trading strategy with our Advanced Members, and we provide 24/7 support and all the specific settings and tools you need to use this effectively.
Come see us on Monday for members training and we will show you how to use this great tool!
