Breakout Futures

Breakout Futures offers trading systems for the futures markets. To be profitable in the futures markets, you need an "edge," a trading method that gives you an inherent advantage over the markets. A mechanical trading system is the best way to get that edge. Back test the system to evaluate its performance over a wide variety of market conditions. Paper trade the system in real time to get a feel for how it works and how to trade it before putting real money at risk. Trade based on objective trading signals without emotional bias. Automate the order placement and execution to reduce errors and eliminate the fear of "pulling the trigger". Among professional money managers who trade the futures markets, known as Commodity Trading Advisors or CTAs, those who trade with mechanical trading systems outnumber so-called discretionary traders by a ratio of six to one (source: Safe Money Metrics Stark Managed Futures Indexes). In 2008, systematic traders tracked by the Barclay CTA index returned more than 18% on average (source: www.barclayhedge.com). The pros use trading systems because they work.
