About this strategy

Http://www.collective2.com/go/upbeat


Before mid of 06.2006, the system was focused on stocks;
After that,
futures mainly and few options
(started with around $135,000). The system will keep focusing on the futures (with few options trades possibly) on this system in the future



My trading is based on my years of experience and profound understanding on the market

My goals here are:
1. Tradeable for everyone: Market order
2. Steady trading
3. Easy to follow

Some rules to trade:
1. Market Sentiment
2. Momentum
3. Follow the trend
4. Key Timing
5. Tighten stop-loss
6. Money management
7. Trade with confidence

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.
