Business Model

Unlike most other sites which offer trading systems, we are not in business solely to sell systems. We are traders who put our own money on the line using the same method we sell. We understand the realities of financial markets and have designed our trading method around a mathetical price series model along with constraints based on real world experience of paying commissions and spreads, getting lousy fills, being whipsawed, etc.

System Development and Research

Our trading system was developed during countless hours over several years of independent research in the fields of mathematics, finance, economics, statistical analysis, signal processing, etc. Essentially, we've plowed through the rough to find the diamonds. Additionally, our system isn't the product of hours of optimization using any of the popular system development tools used by other system developers. Frankly, we have a low opinion of evaluating a trading system with the benefit of hindsight. Instead, we present our (prior) trading signals here at the website so that you can see the system as it moves with the markets as you form your opinion of what we have to offer.

System Robustness / Optimization Issues

With all of the trading systems sold to the public, there is a constant concern over ideal parameter selection. Although the usual approach is to try and select some sort of "optimal" parameter values, the real issue isn't selecting ideal parameters. It's finding a system which doesn't depend so heavily upon parameter selection for its success. In a trading system, this property is called robustness. In our research and development, rather than seek out optimal parameters, it was our goal to find a trading system that had no tendency to perform very well only for certain parameter values.
