FAQ
Q:
Why would anybody
sell a well-functioning
trading system?
A: We are trading
for a living,
so we have to
take out capital
from our wins
to pay for fixed
costs. Using income
from renting out
the system allows
us to accumulate
the won capital.
Q:
If many traders
run the same system
at the same time
the system cannot
work anymore.
A: This is why
we only sell products
for the most liquid
markets, where
this risk is minimized.
Q:
I do not have
$50,000 to trade
a strategy but
would like to
do it anyway.
A: We explicitly state that this is the minimum capital to ensure
effective money
management by
regulating position
sizing. The strategy
also works very
well with an initial
capital of $30,000,
but risk reduction
to a fixed percentage
per trade cannot
be maintained
as soon as market
value or volatility
rises high.
Q:
Do I run the risk
of losing all
my money?
A: Since our
strategies do
not hold positions
overnight, this
risk can be calculated.
You can exit trading
at anytime, when
you are not satisfied
with the system
performance.
Q:
Can I leave my
computer to itself
while it trades
the system?
A:
There are to many
possible outside
sources for disruptions
of the system
like power outage,
losing internet
connection, computer
failures etc.
to be able to
leave your computer
unattended for
a longer period
of time.
Q:
Will I get my
money back if
your system only
generates losses
during the 3 months
I have paid for?
A: Losses can
never be avoided
for any kind of
trading system.
No new equity
peaks over a period
of time of 3 months
is not unusual,
as isn't a higher
future maximum
drawdown than
calculated for
the past. Past
wins are never
a guarantee for
future results,
but only indicators
for quality and
stability of the
system under different
market conditions.
Q:
I have no experience
using and programming
Tradestation.
Can I trade your
system anyway?
A: We give
you exact instructions
how to install
the system and
how to set up
the program for
fully automated
real-time trading.
During stock market
hours we can be
reached via E-Mail
anytime to help
with problems,
since we ourselves
also trade and
observe our own
systems.
Q:
I do not like
to provide my
credit card information.
A: For this reason
we use PayPal
as a partner for
online payment.
PayPal is a professional
company now owned
by Ebay with millions
of customers worldwide.
Only Paypal will
receive your credit
card information
and this information
is never passed
on to us.
Q:
Do you offer a
free trial?
A: We don’t offer
trial versions
of our indicators.
For our trading
systems we have
a back test only
version, where
we charge a small
fee to protect
against hackers
and unauthorised
usage.
Q:
How do I get the
back test trial?
A: You have to
send a request
including your
name and Tradesation
customer number
(for instructions
see: help/about
Tradestation).
After confirming
your information
we will send a
protected ELA
file to you, which
can only be used
with your Tradstation
license.
Q:
Can I change or
optimize parameters
of your trading
systems myself?
A: Our systems
do not use optimized
parameters for
signal generation,
because we believe,
that this is the
only way to ensure
similar or better
future results
than those obtained
from backtests.
Since money-and
risk management
is one of the
main factors for
the success of
our systems, you
will be able to
adjust in the
settings how much
of your obtained
wins you would
want to reinvest
into your trading
capital and the
maximum percentage
of your capital
you are willing
to risk for loss
by a single trade.
Q:
I only have Tradesation
2000i, can I use
your system?
A: In principal
the possibility
exists. Automatic
order placement
would however
only be possible
using additional
tools, which may
be prone to failures,
which is why we
do not offer versions
for Tradestation
2000i at this
time. Since you
need an adequate
account with a
discount broker
as well as a first-class
RT data feed for
trading the system
anyway, becoming
a Tradestation
customer practically
generates no additional
costs.
