About this strategy

Copernicus trades the E-mini S&P 500 contract. Most trades are day trades. Occasionally there will be a swing or trend following trade that will last a few days. I will send a message along with these longer term trades to help you distinguish them from the day trades. The system identifies a trend and trades in the same direction, trying to catch the big move of the day. No scalping.

The day trading system may go in long or short. Always 2 lots in and then scales out if there’s good profit.
One lot has a protective stop that trails up with price. Placement of the stop is dynamic and it’s large enough to allow the trade a chance to work. They are currently around 40 to 45 ticks. The other lot has no protective stop, but rather a trailing target. If the price action moves against the trade the target will move down with the market ( for longs ). Movement of the target becomes more aggressive the more that a trade moves against the position and consequently this target behaves similar to that of a stop.

All day trades are closed a few minutes before the end of the session at 5 pm EST.

The swing and trend following systems that I will email you about stay in trades for days. For these I use a combination of systematic systems I wrote plus my own discretion.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical 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 these being shown.
