About this strategy

Futures Trader Daily is designed to be traded with a $100,000 account. Despite the different "model account" equity, trade signals are still entered assuming a $100K account so that new subscribers can trade without scaling down. You do NOT need $200K to trade this system.

Futures Trader Daily executes daily trades, meaning there will be at most one signal per day per futures contract. Trades will normally last from 2 days up to 7 days, although highly profitable trades may last longer than 7 days. Additionally a few contracts (such as short-term bonds) that tend to move very slowly may have trades lasting weeks (even months in some cases).

Position sizes assume an initial account size of $100,000 to trade Futures Trader Daily. Even though the model account equity is higher trades are still entered assuming $100,000 account size.

Futures Trader Daily alerts will be entered generally between 8 and 9 PM EST and will often be active immediately (for composite contracts). Trades are entered from my trade tracking application and are parked for 3 minutes to allow manual review of the trades to make sure they are correct (better safe than sorry).
Futures Trader Daily uses stops to enter and exit trades. EVERY trade is exited via a stop (except for rare cases involving rollovers or other external events). This means ALL winning trades will give back some of their profits before they exit. Remember the goal is to capture as much profit as possible but also keep risk down.

The following contracts are traded on a weekly basis, entered via GTC orders and will not have an exit stop entered until the week following entry. The $5K standard stop loss always applies however.

British Pound, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, NYBOT Cocoa, Liffe Cocoa, Liffe Euribor, Liffe Euroswiss, Five Year Bond

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.
