And finally...

A look into the future of automated trading- a trader's eye view of automated parallel function systematic trading.

Trading systems with fixed parameters often are not able to keep up with changing market conditions without constant attention.

Highly curve fitted systems can get into trouble as by their very nature they have the expectation of future data mirroring recent markets.

Ideally an automated system should draw upon multiple, simultaneously applied system approaches to increase the profitability of the overall strategy.

Wouldn't it be interesting to watch multiple system settings simultaneously?

And use the best current system?

Wouldn't it be interesting to create an automatic routine in a trading system to make these switches to the best settings?

And use the best current system?

In conclusion...

How many trading seminars have you attended?

How many of the presenters you listened to are willing to share their personal trading statements with you?

( I'll show you mine if you show me yours .....   ;-)  )

I began trading a real time account at the TTM LA seminar that takes only automated trades from the Universal System. I will share the February results at the end of the seminar.

Real time % returns in double digits.....
