CRB TrendTrader: Thirty Years of Performance |
Thirty years ago, the Commodity Research Bureau developed a computerized trading system for the purpose of removing the emotional human element from market forecasting. Since then, countless trading programs, timing theories, and sure-fire techniques have been designed and popularized by an even wider universe of individuals and companies for the purpose of "beating" the futures markets.
Yet, 30 years later, the Commodity Research Bureau's TrendTrader remains one of the top performing market timing services. In fact, in Commodity Traders Consumer Report, TrendTrader ranked #1 in the category of Profit Per Trade in 1992; in 1995, TrendTrader ranked #1 in the category of Net Profit as a Percentage of Reasonable Margin by gaining an astounding 205 percent; in 1996, TrendTrader ranked #3 in the category of Smallest Drawdown.
Profit Per Trade; Net Profit as a Percentage of Margin; Smallest Drawdown, all the parameters system designers strive to optimize, are performing as well today as they have for the past 30 years in CRB's TrendTrader.
The TrendTrader system analyzes four different technical studies to categorize markets as trending up, sideways, or down. These four studies are a combination of moving averages, price volatility, market momentum, and various time cycles. Support and resistance levels are recalculated daily and serve as "stops" when the market is in a trending phase, and mark the breakout levels for new up or down trends when markets are in a sideways mode.
The system is for medium to long-term trading and is designed to maintain positions throughout minor and medium-term corrections. In recent years, the currency, interest rate, energy, and soft commodity markets have provided some of the best returns due to sustained trends in their component markets.
In the uncertain world of futures trading, TrendTrader will signal major trends whenever and wherever they occur. The universe of markets TrendTrader analyzes is listed in the accompanying box. At a price of only one or two commissions per month, TrendTrader provides more valuable market timing information than you're likely to receive from your broker in a lifetime.
