About this strategy

Multimentum is 2 systems in one. Half the account trades currencies using ETFS, and half the account trades non-currency ETFs using different rules.

5 reasons why Multimentum won't blow up (also see below for cautions)

1) Multimentum trades ETFs from the long side without
margin (though some ETFs are levered and/or inverse
products). ETFs represent ownership in many securities
sometimes spread across many countries. This makes it less
likely that an ETF will go to zero than that an options or
futures contract will expire worthless.

2) Multimentum is a global asset rotation type system. This means
that it can seek profits in many asset classes and
markets. Some other systems trade one particular market
only (such as QLD/QID). This means that Multimentum is less
likely to be caught in a situation where it has to slog
through un-favorable market conditions for the system which
may lead to whip-saws and related losses.

3) Multimentum doesn't buy dips, this means that it won't chase
an asset down buying the whole time. (dip-buy systems can be
profitable, but they can lead to large draw-downs on the way.)

4) Multimentum uses stop loss orders in the 12%-15% range. This
reduces the chance that any one trade will blow up the "fund".

5) One aspect of Multimentum is a check to see if an asset's
price is above its moving average. This feature means that
the system won't try to catch falling knives. If an ETF is
plunging in value Multimentum will stay away, or buy the
corresponding short ETF if the price and volume action are
favorable.

Warning: even trading systems with plausible sounding safety
features are still subject to loss. You should only invest
your "risk capital" in trading systems such as those found on
C2. "Risk capital" means that you can gladly replenish the
investment if large losses occur.

::System Description::

This system is basically a group of "expert systems". Each expert system looks at multi-period index data and use unique trend-following type strategies to determines which asset class(es) will perform the best in the near to medium term.

I chose to put "multi" in the system name because it follows multiple assets over multiple time frames using multiple diverse underlying strategies.

The system looks at price and volume momentum, it does use stops, it uses market orders, it maintains 1 or 2 open positions at a time, it trades just a few times a month, it does not use margin.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical 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 these being shown.
