Trading Systems

Trendfinder's focus is to provide trading systems that you can continue trading for years (not the new "hot" system that quits working in 3 months).  We want long-term clients.  In our opinion, one of the most important keys to successful system trading is to stick with the system.  To support this, we develop systems with a primary focus on minimizing drawdowns and providing consistent results.

All system performance results on this website include $50 round-trip commission and slippage per trade and are non-compounded results (profits are not reinvested).  Be careful when looking at performance results on other websites - not all system vendors include slippage and commission in their results.  Commission and slippage are real trading costs and must be accounted for!

To see results of trading muliple systems together go to the Portfolios page.  To see detailed information on each system available for lease, click below or the links in the menu on the left.

Some systems are "sold out" which means the maximum number of subscribers has been reached.  There are "Alt" versions of these systems which are the exact same strategies placed on charts that are offset by 1 minute to not coincide with orders being sent by the original systems.  When these alternate versions are maxed out then they will also be closed to any additional contracts until further notice.  Since Tiger runs on 1 minute bars, there will be no alternate version - when it is maxed out, it will be closed to any additional contracts.

FUTURES TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS.  PEOPLE CAN AND DO LOSE MONEY.  PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.  ALTHOUGH EVERY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THESE NUMBERS, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY ARE, DUE TO INACCURACIES IN DATA OR ERRORS IN CALCULATION.

HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORDS, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE OVER OR UNDER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS SUCH AS A LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL TRADING IS THAT SUCH TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKET IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
