About this strategy

The Oil Trading System trades various mini lots of the popular Energy Futures like QM (Crude Oil), QH (Heating Oil), QU (Gasoline) and QN (Natural Gas).

The system is designed to trade 1 contract each of the mini lots mentioned above. The system is designed to make smaller profits / losses under normal scenarios. If we are very confident with the entry logic but do not get the best possible price for the entry position, then we will scale in one additional contract.

Please note that the stop loss can range from $0 to $1,000 per contract. This is done to ensure that the system is not stopping out very frequently.

For example:-

$1 movement in the price of @QM = $500,
$2 movement in the price of @QM = $1,000

If the entry logic on which the position was opened has changed substantially, the system is not going to wait for the entire $1,000 loss and will exit out quickly. Please review and feel comfortable with the these facts very carefully before subscribing to the system.

The trade duration may range from few hours to several days.

The mini lots traded by this system are listed on NYMEX (New York Merchantile Exchange) and trade when the NYMEX is open.

Performance Reports: The Back Testing results are available on the following direct link. Please note that all back testing results should be noted as Hypothetical.

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.
