No, I'm not familiar with this system sorry.

It does say consult yes, because we have consulted on matters relating to system design. I have several good friends who operate hedge funds and we have helped them out in the past. It was these friends who initially got me interested in trading, after which I focused on system design...

I agree with you, it would be more profitable (and perhaps less complicated) to target hedge funds and we are certainly not excluding marketing to hedge funds somewhere down the line. The main reason is that we started as retail traders, and we feel that we understand the needs of this...

Arabian, We have two reasons for doing this. We are system developers and we want to make the trading community aware of our brand. We are a new player on the scene and we genuinely believe that we have some great products to provide to traders. The second, as I explained in my post, is a...

With respect to your comment, you are getting us confused with somebody else. This is the first time that we (as a company) have posted on this forum. And you are correct, we will be doing this thread on a number of other trading forums, frequented by beginner traders. That was the whole aim...

I’m a little bit disappointed Dash. Your method of attempted criticism of my post is to repeat “why” about six times, like a mentally challenged parrot. Also, after reviewing your previous posts it is evident that most of your contributions to this site consist of inane pop culture references...

I don't think you are an idiot for saying that. Luck is something that can always distort backtested results, and this is why I always test any system on 30% of out of sample data before I start forward testing it. The $60 k profits eventuated even though the majority of the system trades were...

Hello brewski1984, You might be being a little hard on yourself. The system parameters (MA values) were chosen randomly, and not based on system performance. In later posts I will explore the effect of altering the parameters, to see what effect it has on performance. Statistically, 98 trades...

Thank you for your kind words. We are a small team, unfortunately haven't made it to the three million mark yet, but will let you know when we do :)

Hi guys, Mark from Helios Automated Trading here. I would like to share some of the things I learned while working as head systems developer at Helios. During my career, first as a trader and then later a developer I have developed a large number of profitable systems and hopefully I can pass...
