Summary

-Trading Edge ST is a 80% systematic, 20% discretionary program, which invests only in SP 500 index futures. This program can be as much profitable in rising stock market as in falling market, because it assumes both long and short positions. The program incorporates about two dozens of rigorously designed and tested independent mechanical trading systems, all of which are proprietary. The decision to take a certain position in the market is based on a bias indicated by these independent systems. The trades are taken only if their probable outcomes meet the strict criteria of the proprietary risk control system. Due to its complex and unique design, the returns of Trading Edge ST are uncorrelated with both market indices and with other alternative investments, making it an ideal product for adding real diversification to investor’s portfolios.

Investments

Our edge is many years of market research and rigorous testing, coupled with simultaneous live, real-time trading. We are the traders-contrarians, as we believe that in the short term, markets are emotionally driven. Our edge is in our ability to detect the market opportunities with very high probability and subsequently profit from it.

The decision to take a certain position in the market is based on a bias indicated by these independent systems.

Risk Management

We manage risk by using computer based risk management system for adjusting the trade size depending on the equity in the accounts, most recent performance results of the employed mechanical systems, and market volatility. We have to note that our risk is also reduced because of the diversification between 2 dozens of uncorrelated mechanical systems that comprise our trading approach. We also ALWAYS use stop-loss orders and time stops.
