Trading Description: The Analytical Market Timing (AMT) Program uses a technical system based on a combination of Fibonacci analysis and short to long-term market rotation that reflects trending markets.
The system employs both automated and discretionary rules based on their respective bodies of work to determine entries, exits, as well as portion sizes.
Currently the program focus’ on approximately 30 or so futures/commodity markets including, but not limited to: index’s, currencies, metals, energy, and agricultural. The selection of the specific markets to be traded is at the sole discretion of WCM, which may add or remove markets as its sees fit.
The program is trend following in nature; it seeks to identify both intraday and longer term trends and positions itself accordingly. Trends are determined by using such tools as Fibonacci price clusters, timing, volatility, momentum, and price rotation. |
