The Swing Trader Highlights
Our Swing Trading Strategy trades the S&P 500 Emini Futures (ES) and Ten Year Note (TY). This is a 100% automated trading system which can be auto-executed with best efforts by multiple NFA Registered Brokers. It can also be installed and loaded onto your personal computer using the tradestation platform. The following data covers the walk-forward (out-of-sample) period beginning February 2017. Futures Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. This data assumes 1 unit ($20,000) was traded throughout the entire period under analysis (non-compounded).

CFTC RULE 4.41: 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.

Covering the Essentials of Automated Trading System Design
Multiple Algorithmic Trading Systems Available
Pick from one of our trading systems – either The Swing Trader, S&P Crusher, The Wave Trader or The Professional Trader Suite. Each produce page shows the live/walk-forward and the in-sample back-tested reports. These black-box, computerized trading systems are fully automated to generate alpha while attempting to minimize risk.
Multiple Trading Algorithms Working Together
Our quant trading methodology has us employing multiple algo trading strategies in order to better diversify your auto trading account. Learn more by visiting our trading strategies design methodology page.
Trades During Bear & Bull Markets
In our opinion, the key to developing an algorithmic trading system that actually works, is to account for multiple market conditions. At any time, the market could transition from a bull to bear market. By taking a market direction agnostic position we are attempting to outperform in both Bull & Bear market conditions.
Fully Automated Trading Systems
You can auto trade our algorithmic software using an auto-execution broker (with best-efforts). We have multiple brokers for you to choose from. Remove emotional based decisions from your trading by using our automated trading system.
Does Algorithmic Trading Work?
Track the daily progress of our quantitative trading algorithms with the OEC broker app. You will also receive daily statements from the NFA Registered clearing firm. Complete algorithmic trading examples are posted for all to see. Want to see some statements from live accounts? Visit the live returns & statements page.
Multiple Quant Trading Strategies
Our quantitative trading systems have different expectations based on the predictive algorithms employed. Our Automated Trading Systems will place swing trades and day trades. These 100% Quantitative Strategies are based purely on technical indicators and pattern recognition algorithms.
Multiple Trading Algorithms Are Traded As Part of A Larger Algorithmic Trading System
Each algorithmic trading strategy offered has various strengths and weaknesses. Their strengths and weaknesses are identified based on three potential market states: Strong Up, Sideways & Down moving markets. The Momentum ES trading strategy can outperform in up moving markets, while the treasury note algorithm excels in downward and sideways moving markets. Checkout the following collection of videos, where each trading algorithm offered is reviewed by our lead developer. The strengths of each trading algo is reviewed along with it’s weaknesses.
Multiple Types of Trading Strategies Are Used in Our Automated Trading Software
Day trades are entered & exited the same day, while swing trades will take a longer term trade based on expectations for the S&P 500 to trend higher or lower in the intermediate term.
Swing Trading Strategies
The following Swing Trading Strategies place directional swing trades on the S&P 500 Emini Futures (ES) and the Ten Year Note (TY). They are used in both of the automated trading systems we offer to take advantage of longer term trends our market prediction algorithms are expecting.
Futures Swing Trading Strategy #1: Momentum Swing Trading Algorithm
The Momentum Swing Trading Strategy places swing trades on the Emini S&P Futures, taking advantage of market conditions that suggest an intermediate term move higher. This trading algorithm is used in both of our automated trading systems: The S&P Crusher v2 & The Swing Trader.
Futures Swing Trading Strategy #2:Ten Year Treasury Note Algorithm
The Treasury Note (TY) Trading Strategy places swing trades on the Ten Year Note (TY). Since the TY typically moves inverse to the broader markets, this strategy creates a swing trade that is similar to shorting the S&P 500. This T-Note algo has positive expectations for down moving market conditions. This trading algorithm is used in both of our automated trading systems: The S&P Crusher v2 & The Swing Trader.
Day Trading Strategies
The following day trading strategies place day trades on the S&P 500 Emini Futures (ES). They almost always enter into trades during the first 20 minutes after the equity markets opened and will get out before the markets close. Tight stops are utilized at all times.
Futures Day Trading Strategy #1: Day Trading Short Algorithm
The Short Day Trading Strategy places day trades on the Emini S&P Futures when the market shows weakness in the morning (prefers a large gap down). This trading strategy is utilized in the S&P Crusher v2 automated trading system.
Futures Day Trading Strategy #2: Breakout Day Trading Algorithm
The Breakout Day Trading Strategy places day trades on the Emini-S&P Futures when the market shows strength in the morning. This futures trading strategy is utilized in the S&P Crusher v2 automated trading system.
Futures Day Trading Strategy #3: Morning Gap Day Trading Algorithm
The Morning Gap Day Trading Strategy places short day trades on the Emini S&P Futures when the market has a large gap up, followed by a short period of weakness. This trading strategy is utilized in the S&P Crusher v2 automated trading system.
While each of these trading strategies can be traded stand alone, they are best traded in a broader collection of trading algorithms – as seen in one of our Automated Trading Systems such as The Swing Trader.

What Separates Algorithmic Trading From Other Technical Trading Techniques?
These days, it seems like everyone has an opinion on Technical Trading techniques. Head & Shoulders patterns, MACD Bullish Crosses, VWAP Divergences, the list goes on and on. In these video blogs, our lead design engineer analyzes a few examples of trading strategies found online. He takes their Trading Tips, codes it up and runs a simple back-test to see how effective they really are. After analyzing their initial results, he optimizes the code to see if a quantitative approach to trading can improve the initial findings. If you are new to algorithmic trading, these video blogs will be quite interesting. Our designer utilizes finite state machines to code up these basic trading tips. How does Algorithmic Trading differ from traditional technical trading? Simply put, Algorithmic Trading requires precision and gives a window into an algorithms potential based on back-testing which does have limitations.
