Detailed: Performance Report - Hypothetical
Trading System: Stat
Developer: Randy Stuckey
Portfolio Size: $275,000
Program Overview:
According to the developer of the Stat system, �the worldwide productivity increase has in large part been due to controlling processes through the use of Statistical Process Control (SPC)�. The Stat program is a commodity trading system that uses this SPC technique to provide trading signals for trading the commodity markets. In the developers opinion, �the reason many systems use similar approaches and have similar problems is because they assume commodity prices are "normal"�. Other trading systems try to take advantage of the probability characteristics of a normal distribution. Other systems assume that they will be successful because prices fit a bell shaped curve or normal frequency distribution. The way some other systems operate is by using a moving average crossover or a variation of this approach to generate trading signal. They also usually tack on a couple of standard deviation on the Bollinger bands to try to keep from taking too many false trades. The STAT system follows a principal that commodity prices do not form normal distributions. STAT does not follow what other systems key off to generate its trading signals. It uses it�s own special techniques to generate a normal probability distribution out of market prices. Then STAT uses the well-developed SPC concept to take its trades.

THE PERFORMANCE TABLES AND RESULTS OF THE TRADING SYSTEMS PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT ARE HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED IN NATURE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. The CFTC requires the following disclosure statement in reference to hypothetical results.

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 OF 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 WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.
