Turbo Trader upgrade. Sep 16 2007

From time to time systems are upgraded to increase performance.

Turbo Trader Pro has been unchanged since the upgrade from Turbo trader to TurboTrader Pro in 3/23/2006. (apart from the recent volatility filter)

As of today, I am now phasing out Turbo Trader and replacing it with Turbo Trader Ultimate ER. This newer version of Turbo Trader has a 15 month track record that is superior to Turbo Trader Pro. The main difference is a $430 stop, instead of $300 stop, and a limit of 2 trades per day. This has given Ultimate ER a $4000 lead in real time performance.

Below - Turbo Pro real time results since 6/2006

Below - Turbo Ultimate ER real time results since 6/2006

One of the most significant factors in the improvement on Turbo Ultimate is that a $300 stop is much to tight for volatile 2007 conditions. Highest profit was actually achieved using a $850 stop.

Trademaid update. September 17, 2007

In short we have improved execution, improved systems, and what I believe is the best system yet. Breakout ER-ES. And Retracement ER system.

1) Volatility filter.

The current market conditions have greater volatility than even 2002. Normally volatile conditions are very good for trading, but this current volatility results in us getting stopped out with loss’s, even if we get the direction correct.

I will demonstrate the results on two systems of this filter. The filter has been applied to all Turbo traders, including Turbo elite es, all elite systems, and all Breakout systems.

The improvements are significant on all systems, except breakout. (Breakout has been doing fine regardless)

The following table shows Trendfriendly without the filter (top) and with the new filter below. All results included $30 slippage and commission and are hypothetical. 

Above, Trendfriendly with out filter.

Profit yr 2007 $1720

Average profit per trade for 2007 is $1720 / 90 trades = $19.00

Above, Trendfriendly with new filter

Profit 2007 now $4330. Average profit per trade is $4330 / 85 = $50.94

Filter on Turbo Trader Ultimate.

All results included $30slippage and commission and are hypothetical. 

2007 profit $3950, 149 trades = $36.58 per trade average profit 

Turbo Trader Ultimate without filter.

2007 profit 540 / 202 trades = 2.68 per trade.

Please also note that trades in 2007 have reduced from 320 to 250 while profits increase greatly. Note also in volatile years like 2002, the number of trades have reduced from 262 to 252. – A tiny amount, showing how great the current volatility is.

Breakout ER results. With new filter.

Breakout ER results. Without new filter.

1) Strategy Runner improved execution.

We have taken approx 1 second off the execution speed of nearly all systems. We expect improved slippage as a result.

The same update also has fixed a rare but costly problem where Strategy runner goes flat, rather than reverse. This caused a $1000 win to be missed about a month ago.

Systems affected are Turbo Trader Ultimate, and Turbo Elite ES

3) New System. Breakout ER-ES.

Breakout ER & EMD succeed in tripling the account balance of the test account in just a few months. Please note however, this was done with far too aggressive money management.

It will also not be realistic for all clients to do this in ER and EMD as there would be liquidity issues. (S&P 500 no problems) if all clients did this.

I believe that Breakout ER-ES is the best system yet.

High profit per trade, low drawdown, ability to increase contracts trading out of profits all add up to a great system. Its out of sample results have also been outstanding.

See http://www.trademaid.info/systems-breakout-es+er.htm

And http://www.trademaid.info/systemsrt.htm

Below are the results of breakout ER. There is also a Breakout ES version.

Breakout ER may also soon be combined with a new retracement ER system.

I believe this will be the best combination of systems Trademaid has ever released.

There is also a 0.31 daily correlation between the systems.

Please enquire for details.
