*** SEE NOTES BELOW FOR START DATE TIME ISSUES WITH C2 TRAY INTERFACE ***

Taking advantage of predicted support and resistance points within a trend is how this strategy makes all its money. These are computed dynamically and adapt over time to current market conditions. It is a scalping system, meaning its average gain is 10-30 ticks usually. This strategy also has unusually low drawdown for the amount of money it pulls out of the money daily. Prior to real time on Collective 2, it has drawdown of 1600 and gains of about 38k over they last 2 months, in this version of the system.

The system always has stops in place and plays 2 contracts per trade. The average stop is about 30 ticks or so but can vary depending on the market trend strength, with a max stop of 45 points ever. The system never holds overnight (but you will have to watch it yourself on short days, they are not programmed in and it will not know to exit).

The system is believed to be completely stable, as the few inputs it has that can be optimized are very profitable at every iteration (meaning no setting causes it to lose money in any way), and the delta on most settings from worst profit to best profit is about 20% (ex. worst is 25,000, best is 32,000).

In addition, the subscriptions to this system will be limited to a maximum of 10, then it will be closed off to any additional subscribers.

This trading system is 100% fully black box and computerized, there is no judgment or human intervention. It is understood by all subscribers that as a computer program it is fully possible bugs may exist that may cause errant or unexpected results. While every care has been taken to make sure none exist, it is impossible to test every possible situation that may occur in real time trading. In addition, there is no implied guarantee or warranty of any kind - all results EVEN those done in real time should be considered HYPOTHETICAL because the system generating the signals is not trading a real account, and past performance is no guarantee of the future. Lastly, anyone subscribing to this trading system understands any and all monies used to trade it are risk capital only, and accept risk of loss that may occur.

Due to the active nature some days of this strategy (as a day trading strategy) it may be impossible to follow the signals without having auto trade on. Historically it has done as many as 25 trades in a single day.


***** NOTE****
2-09-10 and 2-10-10 HAVING SOME MAJOR ISSUES WITH C2 NOT PICKING UP ORDERS - SYSTEM USES A MAX STOP OF 45 POINTS - so far yest and today 2x it has just not even put in the stop from TS at all and caused 2 100pt+ losses about that are not real. In addition it is duplicating trades sometimes (going in 4 contacts instead of 2) and other issues. I am working with Matthew to try to figure out why the C2 tray is not working properly.

2-11-09 I have turned off multiple contract entries and it seems stable now, so far today no missed or mistakes using c2 tray. Assuming it works going forward, anyone looking at this strategy should ignore ALL TRADES the first 2 days.
