Catscan is a unique end of day trading system developed in 1994 to trade a large basket of commodities. The system is based on the premise that you should trade trending markets differently than sideways or choppy markets. It has a proprietary Choppiness Index that constantly measures the current market condition. Based on this Choppiness Index reading the system automatically switches back and forth between its trending or choppy configuration. While this approach may seem obvious, the fact is almost all trading systems do not take this into consideration. Catscan soon rose to one of the Top 10 Systems according to the independent system rating company, Futures Truth. In January 2003 we issued the first update to the system since its release back in 1994. It took almost 10 years but we finally came up with an improvement worthy of the Catscan system. Initially the new Catscan III was available only to current customers. Now, for the first time, it is available to the general public. Catscan III trading frequency is about 20 trades per year per commodity. It’s in the market on any given commodity about 75-85% of the time. The system uses stop orders so you don’t have to watch the market all day. Once you enter a trade a protective money management stop helps protect you in case we are wrong, which will happen with any system. When a trade generates profits then a new profit based exit stop kicks in. It basically tightens up our stop to protect some of the profit.

Randy Stuckey created the Catscan system. He is the founder of MindFire Systems which just celebrated their 10 year anniversary as system developers. Randy received his early education at Purdue and Indiana University graduating with a BS in Quantitative Business Analysis. His career in the manufacturing world provided a solid base in Statistical Process Control and the Design of Experiments. Prior to launching MindFire Systems he was an engineer, statistics trainer, department manager and eventually a corporate director. The experience he acquired in developing process models and improvements to manufacturing processes for several top secret “stealth” programs have proven very useful in the development of trading systems.

Catscan III trades a basket of 25 commodities covering all of the major commodity groups. Specifically it can trade Natural Gas Euro Currency US $ Index Japanese Yen T Notes 5 yr Coffee Euro $ Swiss Franc Crude Oil British Pd T Notes 10 yr Cotton Rough Rice T Bonds Soybeans Heating Oil Orange Juice Pork Bellies Unleaded Gas Muni Bonds Lean Hogs Lumber Copper Sugar Corn

The ability to automatically re-configure itself for either a trending or choppy market sets Catscan III apart. When combined with the diverse basket of commodities it can trade, you have the only type of system sold by MindFire Systems, a high performance trading system. It is also a robust system. There is a lightly optimized version that uses the same rules for every commodity but has a minimal amount of parameter optimization. But for those who fear over-optimization, you also receive a second version that uses the same rules and the same parameter values for all commodities.

Commodity trading can be risky. So you need to determine the amount of risk you can handle. If trading futures is within your tolerance level and your financial situation allows you to be comfortable trading commodities, you may want to consider trading the Catscan system. By design it is not closely correlated with what’s happening in the stock market. Stocks generally rise and fall in unison. That is not usually the case with commodities. And since the system takes both long and short trades, you are able to trade bull and bear markets.
