About this strategy
SP E-Mini Pro is a systematic trading strategy designed to take advantage of very short term price movement of the stock market. Multiple risk controls are used to determine position size and control drawdowns. When there are no high probability trades, the system will be out of the market. Because of the number of short term trades, transaction costs will be significant. The program trades E-Mini S & P 500 futures contracts, entering and exiting the trades within hours. Stop orders, limit orders, or market orders may be used to enter or exit markets at the discretion of the manager.
The account will be traded at the size shown on the Hypothetical Performance chart, starting at $250,000. Larger or smaller accounts should be scaled accordingly. A majority of the equity may be used for the daily margin requirements. Scaling at greater than or less than 100% may result in performance different from the model.
For smaller accounts, SP Pro follows a similar, more highly leveraged strategy using S&P Micro E-mini futures contracts.
Futures trading involves high risk. Actual results are not guaranteed and may vary from expectations.

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.
