What is Systems Trading?
Systems trading isn't new. However, due to radical advances in technology, such
as the proliferation of personal computers and the ability to instantaneously access market
information globally, this phenomenon is making systems trading one of the
fastest growing segments of the investment world. Our goal is to offer the finest systems available.
Systems trading is based on technical analysis of the markets, which systems traders believe provides a means for
anticipating future prices. Traders that use systems create strategies based on their observations of price trends
for various futures markets during selected historical periods. Then they convert these strategies into sophisticated
computerized trading systems. Each system utilizes current market information to generate buy and sell
signals. Many prefer using a system because of rigorous testing, and also because it can help eliminate risks
often associated with human error and emotion in making trading decisions. You too may find that you prefer systems
trading for these reasons.
Just as there is no best way to trade futures, there is no single "best"
system for all markets and all traders. Our approach is to trade a composite of
systems, so you can diversify your trading. You can trade a single system
that specializes in a single futures contract, such as the S&P 500 stock
index, or a system that trades many markets, such as bonds, stock indexes
and currencies. There are also professional systems designed specifically for day trading or for
longer-term investments.

Automated Trading strategies otherwise know as trading systems can play an important part of everyday trading. Systems trading is primarily based on technical analysis of the markets, which trading developers believe provides a means for anticipating future prices.

Risks and Costs
Just as there is no best way to trade futures, there is no single "best" system for all markets and all traders. Our suggestion is to approach any trading systems with full caution, so you can identify both the opportunity and the risks of that particular trading system. Some of the points to consider are the trading fees that are generated by the number of round turns, the cost of the system, and whether if there is a monthly fee or annual fee. For example, if one were to use a system from Strategy Exchange of Strategy Runner, one would have to use the Strategy Runner Professional platform that charges a monthly fee, at minimum of $ 75.00, plus a $ 1.50 platform fee plus commission and exchange, clearing and NFA fees. In addition, one also pays the quarterly fees associated with the trading system to the developer. Costs and benefits should be reviewed carefully. Your VIP broker will glad to assist you in determining the costs
