What makes I-Master different from other index
trading systems?
• It was developed using
seven indices to yield a larger data sample size, thus attempting
to minimize curve-fitting. (Curve fitting refers to using
computerized data to “fit” into a desired result. Generally
experienced with small amounts of data which can generate false
results).
· Performance
and testing was done using $300 for slippage and commissions.
Since the system enters and exits the market on stop orders, this can
have a large impact on the performance of a system. Many systems
are developed and performance figures given using $100 or less for
commissions and slippage. To illustrate how important the
difference between the $300 and $100 most system developers use in their
figures, the following example will be helpful: If an
index system trades once per day or twenty times per month 20 X $200 =
$4000 or $48,000 per year! This realistic slippage and
commission which is built into the performance record is substantial and
overcome by I-Master in hypothetical testing.
Long and short trade performance is balanced. Most index systems
are highly biased to the long side due to the sustained up-trend
of the S&P in the 1980’s and 90’s. I-Master seeks
to be equally successful during both up and down trends in the stock
market.
Flexibility Investors will have the option of trading the I- Master
system with mini contracts instead of the full sized ones. Mini
contracts are one fifth the size of a standard contract, thus allowing
for more options when it comes to diversifying a modern investment
portfolio.
Futures trading involves substantial risk and is not appropriate
for all investors
