Many are asking for an analysis into how the current financial mess affects our trading strategies. Here is a breakdown:
- The Frankfurt is slightly affected by this market in that the strategy has concrete entry parameters based on volatility. If there is too much movement the system does not take an entry that day. Volatility over the last month has been at historic levels and because of that there have been more days than usual that were not traded. This affects overall performance of the strategy and increases the risk on those days that we do take a trade.
- The Mid-Range Trend Finder is not really affected by market turmoil. The strategy uses longer time frames where drastic short term movements do not heavily influence the signals. This strategy is by far the safest of our three. If economic conditions worsen and we decide to stop trading The Frankfurt and our Range based system (see below) we WILL continue to trade this strategy.

Risk Warning! Trading foreign exchange includes the use of margin and carries with it a high Initial level of risk which may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose nor should you ever invest borrowed funds. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from independent financial, tax and legal advisors if you have any doubts.
CTFC Rule 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over- compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as 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.
