Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can I Trade your systems?
A: You have two options to trade my systems
Via iSystems per lot traded
Purchase the system with a one time life time purchase
it is described here: http://minisp.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

Q: Why did you decide on iSystems as a method to trade your system?
A: iSystems provides an objective ground where my track record is shown without me compiling it.
I have sent the company "Trading Motion" the code along with all the parameters, and they have created from that the track record.   That way, I am not the one delivers the track record, rather a 3rd party.

Also, They do not allow me to optimize the systems, a common practice amongst systems vendors once something does not work. If my model fails, you will see it objectively in front of you.
Further, all execution is done via a cloud, while you gain full control over the system. You can start, stop, and exit any time you wish.

This set up creates full objectivity.

Q: Do you think your algo auotomated system will work forever?
A: NO.  All system sooner than later fail, or have losing years.  Yet, I cannot tell when this will happen because so far it has been working for 12 years.  It may work for another 10 years, or 20 years, yet we cannot predict such events.   However, consider that during 2008-2009 which were some of the toughest years in trading and investing, the Emini system was positive and had its HIGHEST return.

Q: Why do you sell your system if it is so successful?
A: Having a good method could help other traders while I can earn a living out of it as well.

Q: Do you provide guarantees of performance?
A: NO.  You trade at your own risk. You may lose or win.  If anyone promises you money in this business....RUN!

Q: How long has it taken you to develop this system?
A: It took two years to develop this system from concept to completion.

Q: How long has been the system running on the same code?
A: Since 2011. After that the code has not been touched, and what we call out of sample.                  

Q: Should I buy or lease the system?
A: I recommend leasing it. The cost of the system is expensive ($7,500 Life Time) versus leasing it per contract ($150). However, with the lifetime you are not limited to the number of lots you trade.  If you intend to trade beyond 10 lots, you should consider purchasing it.

Also, you can trial it on a per lot before purchasing the lifetime license.  For every month you have traded the system, I will knock off that amount of the price of the lifetime license up to $2,500 discount.

Q: Will you assist me in installing the system?
A: Yes. There is a set of instructions that would allow you to install and run the system.
If you have difficulties, the brokers I work with also will provide support. www.optimusfutures.com Please ask for installation of Opti ES

Q: I am a self-directed trader, and trade my own method, could your system help me out?
A: Yes.   You could potentially use it as a reference for your own trading, and see whether your method aligns.

Q: Your system trades the ES, the Emini SP, but could it be traded on NQ, TF and YM.
A: Yes, but only with the paid version as a reference.  Essentially, I tried to imitate the same parameters
