It was such a relief to have a good trading day again. I admit, I was a little gun-shy after the last few sessions. The markets were a touch uncooperative, but that’s part of the game. Trade Manager did a good job minimizing the damage, which at the end of the day is what is going to make the difference between you being a successful trader and an unsuccessful one. There was good follow through across the board on all signals, and I could’ve done better if I wasn’t in “conservative” mode, but even so it’s hard to be disappointed with a +$1005 day.

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.
