We add each currency pair to the Global Algorithmic Trading Software(GATS)-System #1 to #6 risking 0.01% per trade with a Global Traders Stop Loss of one times the Daily Average True Range (DATR) and a normal trailing stop of 350 points.

Global Algorithmic Trading Software(GATS)-System #1 to #6 uses computer codes and chart analysis to enter and exit trades according to set parameters such as price movements or volatility levels. Once the current market conditions match any predetermined criteria within the software, the trading algorithms will execute a buy or sell order on your behalf.

Global Algorithmic Trading Software(GATS) runs on MetaTrader 4, the most popular trading platform in the world. MetaTrader 4 is an advanced trading platform that gives you access to a range of tools and features to help you carry out analysis and customize your trading experience.

The value of the Daily Average True Range (DATR) indicates how much price is expected to move against a existing trend without a material trend change. We are fully aware that the Daily Average True Range (DATR) could generate whipsaws that lead to stop out. If this happens we could increase the Global Traders Stop Loss(GTSL) to two times the Daily Average True Range (DATR).

The main purpose of using the Daily Average True Range (DATR) is to create a Global Traders Stop Loss(GTSL) line that follows the trend and gives an exit signal as soon we see a possible change of trend.

1998 was a brutal year for Long-Term Capital Management L.P. (LTCM) and we learn from it!

Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) was a hedge fund that was founded in 1994 by a group of financial experts, including Nobel Prize-winning economists. The fund’s trading strategy involved using mathematical models to identify pricing inefficiencies in the bond market and then taking leveraged positions to exploit those inefficiencies.

The strategy was highly complex and relied on sophisticated models and algorithms to identify market opportunities.

Despite its initial success, LTCM experienced significant losses in 1998 due to a number of factors, including a sudden and unexpected decline in bond prices, a sharp increase in market volatility, and the inability of the fund’s trading strategy to adapt to changing market conditions. The losses were so severe that they threatened to destabilize the global financial system, and the Federal Reserve was forced to orchestrate a bailout of the fund to prevent a wider financial crisis.

The collapse of LTCM is widely regarded as a cautionary tale of the risks associated with highly leveraged trading strategies and the dangers of relying too heavily on mathematical models and algorithms without accounting for the unpredictable and changing nature of financial markets.

The experience of LTCM underscores the importance of risk management and the need to be prepared to adapt to changing market conditions, even when using advanced trading strategies.

Trading Risk Disclaimer

Futures trading involves the potential for substantial risk of loss as well as substantial gains, and is not suitable for every investor. The highly leveraged nature of futures trading means that small market movements will have a great impact on your trading account and this can work against you, leading to large losses or can work for you, leading to large gains. If the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the amount you deposited into your account.
