About this strategy









This is a trading program I have designed for some of my family.

This signal will trade with a 50% IWM weighting 25% QQQQ weighting and 25% MDY weighting. The account trades with an account value plus 75% margin. All signals have a technical trigger with another confirmation trigger. When both are in the same direction a signal will occur. It can hold between 0 and 3 positions at a 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.
