Many traders allow the all too commonly discussed negative emotions - fear and greed - to influence their trading decisions. These emotions are counterproductive when trading futures. As an alternative, traders can choose a futures trading system that matches their personality type or general trading style. By allowing a futures trading system to generate objective entry and exit signals - independent of emotional bias - traders can eliminate the effect of these emotions.

At Cannon, we continually investigate, monitor, and review the leading professionally developed futures trading systems - and execute them for traders who do not have the time or equipment to properly do so on their own. We execute futures trading systems' trades on a broker assist as well as an unassisted letter of direction basis. And with the several platforms offered by our clearing partners, you can monitor online the execution of the trades generated by the trading system in real time.

What are some of the downsides of system trading? Keep in mind that most futures trading systems are mechanical and are mostly based on technical charts.

Therefore, they are unable to incorporate major economic and political events. Another downside of futures system trading is draw downs. There are periods of time where the system is hitting a "losing streak" while still executing the same logic of the indicators prescribed. Last but not least futures trading systems are based on past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Make sure that when you evaluate a system you take into consideration factors such as commissions, slippage, and the cost of the system. Be sure to figure out how these factors may affect the end results.

For more information, call us at 800-454-9572 and an account executive will provide you with specific details. If you have a system that you would like us to trade for you or would like our feedback, let us know and we will be happy to assist you.

Hypothetical Performance Disclaimer

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER: HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, 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 PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL 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 ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS 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.

Results are shown based on our real-time simulated tracking engine and do not take into effect monthly subscription fees and commissions (you can use the 'NET P&L' button to calculate your net results with your personalized commissions and subscription fees). Slippage is included in the results shown as market and limit orders execution is simulated using worst case scenario based on bid/ask prices, level 2 data and delays. Profits are distributed. There are no management or incentive fees.

About the Real-Time Simulated Tracking Engine

  • Strategy Exchange's results are NOT back-tested. Strategy Exchange shows strategy results as they are, reflecting the way they deliver day-in day-out. They are subject to the market realities, and you'll see their real-time simulated performance continually updated on our website. We do this by showing their performance on real market data (tick by tick, level 2 info...) to have the most accurate recreation of market conditions. This means that you get results that are as close as possible to real execution - and NOT results that reflect a dreamer's wishful execution.
  • Strategy Exchange tracks results. While many strategies have a much longer trading history than what we show on our website, we cannot, will not, and do not vouch for any performance that occurred before a system was part of the Strategy Exchange and subject to its monitoring. So, if it's out there, great. We hold ourselves and the strategies to a higher degree of scrutiny.
  • Strategy Exchange's results are broker neutral. The strategy's results we show do NOT consider brokers' commissions or subscription fees. Why? Because they vary depending on your broker and we do NOT control these. So, you'll need to reflect that when you consider your net gains/losses.
  • Strategy Exchange's Strategy Auditing. Strategy Exchange audits the strategies for their i) performance via our real-time simulated tracking engine on strategy runner accounts ii) technological know-how to ensure you get seamless buy/sell signals. That is the Strategy Exchange promise. And we deliver.
