Systems description

Swing Daily trades S&P500, Dow and Nasdaq, Russell 2000 futures with no changes in parameters.

The system is based on indicators, price patterns and seasonal market characteristics.

Out of sample is 2017-01-01

Either the e mini or micro can be traded.

All trades are < 24 hours long, excluding weekends.

Trades enter long around market close and exit on the open of the next day.

All results are shown for the e mini contracts, but the micros can be used.

Recommended capital is 4 x max historical draw-down per system - not per portfolio. Observation is uses who aggressively use high leverage blow there accounts up over time.

The Russell 2000 and S&P Mid cap 400 can also be traded, but results are not as good.

Contract limits apply of 4 emini or micros per market to preserve market liquidity for all traders.
