Evaluating a System

One of the key elements of a trading system is the ability for a trading system to hold up over time. We encourage clients to take their time and study results before they open a trading account. The only true test of a system is to see how it performs in actual trading where market slippage and trading cost are a part of the record. A broker can help you evaluate different systems, and discuss the risks associated as well as the opportunities.

The minimum deposit to open a futures trading account varies according to the system of interest. In addition, the prospective trader should only consider opening a futures account when the trader has sufficient risk capital, due to the leverage in futures trading.

Getting Started

The first step is for the investor to talk to Ascent Capital Management in order to understand the risk as well as the rewards of futures trading using trading systems. If the trader is comfortable with the program then the next step is to open a trading account and select the trading system(s) that best fit the trader’s personal risk tolerances and trading objectives. If the trader is not comfortable in operating the selected trading system(s), the trading system(s) will be “auto-traded” in the traders account for the traders benefit. The group executing the systems is not permitted to trade futures, so our focus is always on providing the trader the very best service.

Any one system may be subject to market specific, system specific, or complex specific risk. By trading multiple systems across different markets, one may reduce market specific and complex specific risk. By trading systems with different entry and exit strategies, the trader may reduce system specific risk. However, the risk of trading can be substantial and each investor and/or trader must consider whether this is a suitable investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

    THE PLACEMENT OF CONTINGENT ORDERS BY YOU OR YOUR TRADING ADVISOR, SUCH AS A ‘‘STOP-LOSS’’ OR ‘‘STOP-LIMIT’’ ORDER, WILL NOT NECESSARILY LIMIT YOUR LOSSES TO THE INTENDED AMOUNTS, SINCE MARKET CONDITIONS MAY MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXECUTE SUCH ORDERS.

INVESTORS SHOULD NOTE THAT ADDING MANAGED FUTURES TO AN EXISTING STOCK PORTFOLIO CAN POTENTIALLY INCREASE THE ANNUAL RETURN OF THAT PORTFOLIO. THE ADDITION OF MANAGED FUTURES TO A PORTFOLIO HOWEVER CANNOT PROTECT YOU FROM LOSS AND IN FACT CAN DECREASE A PORTFOLIO’S EFFICIENCY.
