Summary

Global Contrarian is a trend anticipation trading program. 100% futures based with daily liquidity. Mathematically attempts to recreate the concepts behind technical charting in a statistically robust way. By utilizing past price data, the program systematically identifies support and resistance for each security on a daily basis. The typical holding period is between 5 and 8 weeks. The program (contrary to trend followers) does not use moving averages or breakouts. It seeks to participate in trends early by buying as prices decline to estimated support levels and selling as prices increase toward estimated resistance levels. The other key feature of this program is that it uses a Bayesian based adaptive analytic approach. This methodology dynamically and systematically shifts asset weightings and parameter choices. The program’s exposure to an asset class can shift dramatically—depending on the asset class’s relative performance.

Investment Strategy

This strategy has a unique signal generation by using past high/low data to creat a channel where the system buys at the support levels and sells at the resistance levels. As a result, the system is able to buy early and sell early as opposed to traditional trend following models that buy late and sell late.

Risk Management

As a result of the dynamic asset allocation (Bayesian process) that is built in to the models, risk is shifted systematically from losing markets to winning markets. The maximum margin to equity is 14% and the average is 7-9%. The model can be long or short like securities at market turning points.
