Trading Strategy: Systematic LT Trend Following

Program Description: The Futures Trading Program is a proprietary systematic long-term trend following system developed by Scot Lowry. Mr. Lowry converted his knowledge and research of the markets into a mechanical trading approach. The Program looks for specific turning points which signal new trends, and attempts to enter trades earlier than most long-term technical systems. The Program is 99% mechanical, based on technical data, using price information to signal entry and exit points. The only discretion used is to add or delete markets traded due to liquidity issues. The Futures Trading Program trades on-exchange futures and currencies in Asia, Europe and the United States. It also trades Metal Contracts on the LME exchange in London. The Futures Trading Program employs its own built in risk management procedures to limit risk to individual trades and provide overall portfolio protection.
