About this strategy

www.RuleTradingSystems.com
(RTS) key staff members combine a knowledge base of over 30 years from within the financial markets with solid international exposure, through which it has created market expertise identifying innovative and systematic solid trading algorithms.

After years of development and market-vibration studies RTS has created alternative cutting-edge strategies in different major indices, providing a systematic approach to trading & a competitive edge on a highly sophisticated financial environment, targeting a low volume system.

RTS provides a quantitative systematic-trading algorithm, implementing artificial intelligence to decision making and a logic focused on risk management with no specific market bias, generating long / short trading signals for the SPY ETF, implementing a cutting-edge innovative algorithm trend filter analyzing different time frames instead of Stochastics RSI, MACD or any other over used conventional indicator.

Each trade is generally kept overnight and the holding period could be from one to several days, by following RTS trading signals, the anxiety of tick by tick screen watching is removed, receiving a disciplined and consistent approach that is free of any long winded explanation. Transparency, ease of use and profitability with low volatility trading are their goals updating weekly their performance page.

RTS considers System Trading the only valid approach to trading, as it is reasonably safe to say that most professional traders will trade using a rule based trading system of some sort (automated or manual). A system, from this perspective, can be any strategy ranging from simple entry and exit criteria, money management rules, the use of stop losses to protect positions or lock-in profits, to the more complex use of mathematical algorithms. A system provides a consistent and logical approach to trading. Whether simple or complex, a trading system will be effective only when implemented consistently, preventing emotional decision-making that ultimately will always hurts the portfolio when trading without a systematic plan (Trading System), automated or not.

Signal frequency and over-trading are a concern at RTS, as such, their algorithms are designed to generate - under normal circumstances - between 2 and 15 signals per month; please note that even with these low frequency some trades could be reversed or closed the same day, therefore the account used to trade RTS

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.
