About this strategy

Butterfly trades stocks of NASDAQ 100 and S&P 100 indexes. Its a long only system and it generates limit orders once a day to enter a long position.
Butterfly is a fully automated trading system based on statistical / quantitative analysis of stock prices.
Once a long position is taken the system generates a target profit order and a stop-loss order.
Positions are held at least one day and generally no more than one week.
The system is designed to be traded with at least $50,000 equity but the optimal performance can be achieved with $100,000 or more.
This system invests the same amount of money on any stock of nasdaq 100 or S&P 100 which has been selected by the statistical quantitative algorithm; as the equity of the portfolio increases, this amount proportionally increases.
Butterfly takes a low risk on the entire portfolio limiting losses, typically in %5 amounts of the total invested amount for each stock; the revenue estimate is greater than a 25% annual return percentage on the portfolio.

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.
