A real see-saw day. The market couldn’t make up it’s mind and stayed choppy all morning. I got a little cocky with the NQ and it reminded me of why I should stick with the rules. I thought I might have been able to tag another “home run” day onto yesterday’s and tried a few runnings contracts. Unfortunately it turned out to be more of an “all in, all out” kind of day, which was to be expected after yesterday’s trending day. So as a result I lost some of the open profit I had to breakeven trades. Thank goodness Crude came to my rescue before the end of the session. +$330.

CFTC rule 4.41(c)(1) applies to “any publication, distribution or broadcast of any report, letter, circular, memorandum, publication, writing, advertisement or other literature….” Commission rule 4.41(b) prohibits any person from presenting the performance of any simulated or hypothetical futures account or futures interest of a CTA, unless the presentation is accompanied by a disclosure statement. The statement describes the limitations of simulated or hypothetical futures trading as a guide to the performance that a CTA is likely to achieve in actual trading.

CFTC rule 4.41(b)(1)(i) hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
